Before October 18, 2021, any unincorporated business registrations in Ontario, including Sole Proprietorships, Partnerships, and Trade Names, were issued a document known as a Master Business License. However, as of October 18, 2021, the Master Business License was phased out and replaced with a new set of documents:
- Business Name Registration For a Sole Proprietorship
- Business Name Registration For a Corporation
- Firm Name Registration For a General Partnership
- Declaration of an Ontario Limited Partnership
- Firm Name Registration for an Ontario Limited Liability Partnership
The federal corporate registry, Corporations Canada, doesn’t permit the federal registration of unincorporated businesses. Such businesses, including operating names, can only be registered at the provincial or territorial level. Additionally, to register operating names, a corporation must be either incorporated or registered extra-provincially in Ontario.
A Sole Proprietorship and an Operating Name are fundamentally similar, with the distinction lying in the nature of the owner. While a Sole Proprietorship is owned by an individual, an Operating Name is owned by a legal entity such as a Corporation or Not-For-Profit organization.
We can have your operating name registered in just 2 BUSINESS HOURS!
In Ontario, it’s mandatory for unincorporated businesses to renew their registration every five years. If they don’t renew within two months of the five-year anniversary, they’ll need to file a new registration.
Operating Names in Ontario are only allowed to modify their primary activities and the registered address. If there’s a need to alter the operating name or the ownership, a new registration will need to be filed.
