Can I renew my business at the same time?

Under the new OBR system, the change to a registration and renewal MUST be completed as two separate filings. If you also require renewal of your current registration, amend the details and then complete the renewal application for your business registration.

Can I change the name of my business?

To change the name of your current registration, you will need to complete a new registration. A Business Name Registration, formerly Master Business License under the Business Name Act, does not allow a change of the business name.

Do I need a Company Key to Change my business?

The Company Key was introduced in October of 2021 under the new Ontario Business Registry system. If you are filing directly with the Province of Ontario, the Company Key is mandatory. As an intermediary company with the Province, we are able to by-pass the Company Key requirement making the business registration change much easier and faster. If you have obtained a Company Key, you may use this within our system as well.
