ABOUT US

Since 1992, Ontario Business Central has empowered entrepreneurs to turn their dreams into reality. Fueled by this passion, we've become an industry leader, providing the easiest and most transparent experience in Canada to register, incorporate, or make changes to an existing business – every step of the way.

In the early days, we had an office on University Avenue in Toronto with signage on the street offering incorporation and registration services. This started as a simple idea to see if we could help those individuals looking to do a DIY start up where they were passing our building to head to the government office next door. Our primary business and focus historically had been to assist law firms and accounting firms do their corporate due diligence and civil litigation requirements as a corporate search house. We noticed people really wanted to set up their businesses with some support and guidance as more and more entered our office for assistance.

In 2002, we had the idea to create an online experience where people could take a few minutes at home or work to provide their details online to either incorporate or register their business. It took a year and a half to create the first website to bring this idea to light. It took a lot of effort, sweat, hair pulling and many late nights to bring the website to life. This was at a time when most people had dial-up connection to the internet and the Sears Catalog resided in most Canadian households.

In 2004 we finally launched the website. The first online order came in, this was a monumental moment for our business. If you can imagine, it was similar to the introduction of the Big Mac to McDonald's or the moon landing to the world in our minds.

Ontario Business Central has remained excited to support entrepreneurs and business owners to cultivate ideas and dreams into business reality since those early days.

We strongly believe in listening to our clients. We have listened to their confusion, criticism, and requests for additional services. We have always been all ears for feedback and have updated our website to bring the very best experience to our customers.

We have added new features to help you manage your business. This includes things like keeping your corporate information up to date (address changes, directors, names), filing annual returns, searching for businesses, making amendments or continuances, and getting domestic or foreign business licenses. We can even help with domain searches and registrations!

Engagement within the entrepreneurial community in Canada is fundamental to us. We participate in and attend trade shows and events specific to the entrepreneurial community and we are committed to supporting new and growing businesses in Canada. Everyday, we strive for a better online experience. We belong to several organizations including Better Business Bureau, Cira, and The Canadian Chamber of Commerce along with having designations with most corporate registry offices across Canada.

Our mission has always been to support entrepreneurs in Canada. In essence, we believe that our job fundamentally is to offer support for you to start and grow your business by offering encouragement, online tools such as articles and blogs and video resources to help you make your dream a reality. We believe in walking the walk in everything we do.
