Legal Question in Business Law in Canada
Small Business Contracts
We are a small business who signed a contract with a company to provide service. They have been making many complaints regarding our work so we decided to terminate the contract. The company said that they did not agree to the termination. One main point is our company name has changed and the contract was signed under the old contract name. Can they do anything about this?

Re: Small Business Contracts
The first step is to consider the termination provisions (if any) contained in the contract to provide service. If that contract is silent on termination, then we would look at what would be considered "reasonable notice" to terminate the contract.
Typically, a company name change would not change the previous company's legal obligations.
