Once you have done the groundwork for starting a successful business, the next step is to officially register that business with the Government of Ontario so that you can legally operate.
We recommend registering through Business Access, a government affiliated organization that will allow you to not only register your business, but also search a business name, register for sales and health tax (if applicable) and manage your official business operation within Ontario.
