The new Ontario Business Registry (accessible at Ontario.ca/businessregistry) will be required for all businesses and not-for-profit corporations to access Ontario government services such as registering a business, incorporating a not-for-profit and filing an annual return. Any business, including a not-for-profit corporation, that is registered, incorporated, declared, or licensed in Ontario will have an online profile in the new business registry. The OBA has been an advocate for the development of a modernized more accessible business registry.
