With the help of Ontario Business Central, incorporating a numbered or named company is fast, easy and affordable. Over 190,000 business owners have entrusted us to help get their businesses up and running. It only takes a few simple steps to complete your incorporation, with most jurisdictions completed on a same-day basis.

Each and every month, we assist hundreds of new start-ups to launch or renew their small business. We assist to register in Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan for Sole Proprietorship (1 person), General Partnership (2 or more persons) or Tradename (operating name under a Corporation).

A Sole Proprietorship is a single business owner/operator. There is no name protection for the business and the registration is tied to you personally for both liability and taxation.

A General Partnership is designed for 2 or more individual or corporate partners. There is no name protection for the business and the registration is tied to all owners for the liability and taxation.

A tradename also known as DBA, doing business as, operating as or carrying on business name. The tradename is specifically designed to allow the corporation a secondary business name.

The Nuans report is required to incorporate in most jurisdictions in Canada. It is a 6 page report that provides a listing of similar businesses, corporations and trademarks to your proposed name.

The Nuans pre-search is a useful tool. This enables you to search up to 3 business names for availability within the Nuans pre-search databank.

An Incorporated company gives you the ability to change the business, mailing or directors addresses, add or remove directors, and complete any of these changes all in one filing.

A registered business allows you to change the business, mailing or owners address, modify the business activity and add or remove partners from a General Partnership. Any of these changes can be made in one amendment all at the same time

One of the most important elements in winding down your existing corporation is to file Articles of Dissolution for your corporation. We take you step by step through the process.
