The Latest Trends in Business Verification

The demand for instant and reliable business verification is growing, driven by the need for transparency and trust in the business world. In 2024, the trend is moving towards more integrated digital platforms that offer real-time data access. Businesses are increasingly using tools to find up to date company data and predict potential risks, making quick and accurate company searches more valuable than ever. Since 2021, every corporation in Ontario is required to file an Annual Return. This filing requires updates to all details of the corporation including the corporate address, directors, officers and addresses.
