Toronto – Ontario is launching a new Ontario Business Registry on Oct. 19, making it easier, simpler, and more affordable for millions of businesses to interact with the government. The new online registry will provide direct access to government services 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Businesses will now be able to complete over 90 transactions through the new online registry, including registering a new business and dissolving an existing one. Registrations or filings that were previously submitted by mail or fax, taking four to six weeks to complete, can now be done instantly through the online registry. When online transactions are completed, users will receive automatic email notices with electronic attachments instead of paper documents.
The migration of annual return filings that were previously completed through the Canada Revenue Agency will be available through the Ontario Business Registry, allowing businesses to keep all their important filings in one place.
