Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know Before You Start

What is the difference between business registration and incorporation?
Business registration is used for sole proprietorships and partnerships, while incorporation creates a separate legal entity that can own assets, enter contracts, and provide limited liability protection to its owners.
Do I need to register my business name in Ontario?
Yes. If you operate under a name other than your personal legal name, you must register your business name with the Ontario government before conducting business.
How much does it cost to incorporate a business in Ontario?
The cost depends on whether you incorporate directly with the government or use a service provider. Government filing fees apply, and additional costs may include a NUANS® name search and professional filing assistance.
How long does it take to incorporate a business in Ontario?
Online incorporations are often processed within a few business hours or days, depending on the filing method and the accuracy of the submitted information.
What are the benefits of incorporating in Ontario?
Incorporation provides limited liability protection, potential tax advantages, increased credibility, easier access to financing, and a structure that supports business growth.
Do I need a NUANS® report to incorporate in Ontario?
A NUANS® report is generally required if you are incorporating with a custom corporate name. It is not required if you choose a numbered corporation.
Can a non-resident incorporate a business in Ontario?
Yes. Non-residents can generally incorporate an Ontario corporation, although additional requirements may apply depending on the business activities and industry.
What information is required to incorporate a corporation in Ontario?
You typically need a corporate name (or choose a numbered corporation), a registered office address in Ontario, director information, and details about the corporation's share structure.
What is a Master Business Licence in Ontario?
A Master Business Licence (now commonly referred to as a Business Name Registration) is proof that a sole proprietorship, partnership, or business name has been registered with the Ontario government.
What ongoing obligations does an Ontario corporation have?
Ontario corporations must maintain corporate records, file annual returns when required, keep their information up to date, and comply with federal and provincial tax obligations.
