Once I saw the bureaucracy that the ON gov't has created to dissolve a company I went to OBC for help. Had never used them before...but will definitely use the again. Simple, fast and reasonable priced.
How to Dissolve an Ontario Corporation >>>
Whether you are moving on to another business, employment or retiring, completing the Articles of Dissolution puts an end date to the corporate business operation. Ontario Business Central holds intermediary status with the Province of Ontario and is able to file Articles of Dissolution quickly and easily on your behalf. Once completed, you can notify the Canada Revenue Agency, Financial Institutions, suppliers and clients that the corporation has terminated its existence.
Business Name Registrations cannot be cancelled using this form.
If you have trade names under the corporation that you are dissolving, the trade names will automatically be cancelled.
If you want to cancel a trade name without dissolving the corporation, or cancel a sole proprietorship or general partnership, please use the form below:
No, if you haven't filed or paid the corporate tax for the most recent year, you can complete the articles of dissolution and file the tax return subsequently.
If you have historic years that you haven't filed the corporate tax return for or you have remaining money owing, it is best to reach out to CRA before filing.
No, you are no longer required to obtain the Consent to Dissolve prior to submitting the Articles of Dissolution.
As of October of 2021, the Province internally requests and approves the Consent Letter To Dissolve as part of the processing to complete the Articles of Dissolution upon your filing. This has made a huge difference to the ability and speed of the completion of Articles of Dissolution.

Used this service to help dissolve my corporation because the government websites were confusing and I was unclear on the process. This company was so helpful answeing my questions when I called and processing everything in perfect timing.
The Articles of Dissolution cost $272.40 in total. The fee is made up of $149.00 for our fee of preparing the form filing and gaining approval from you to proceed. There is a $39.99 fee for the submission filing and $25.00 government fee.
The Articles of Dissolution can no longer be completed and filed in person at a provincial government filing office. The processing time with Ontario Business Central is 3 to 7 business days. To file manually yourself, the process can take 15 business days or longer.
No, if you file with Ontario Business Central, a company key is not required for any corporation registered before October 21, 2021. We, as an intermediary with the Province of Ontario are able to by-pass this requirement. If filing directly with the Province yourself, the Company Key is required. You can request a Company Key with the Province directly and the key will be mailed to the registered head office address of the corporation. The corporate address must be up-to-date. If it is not, a Notice of Change is required first to update the address prior to requesting the Company Key.
