What Ontario asks of a business online
Before launch, it helps to have the basics in order. These apply to many small businesses in Ontario:
- Depending on what you do, you may need licences and permits to run your business under federal, provincial or municipal regulations. Ontario.ca: licences and permits
- Consent is at the heart of Canada’s anti-spam legislation (CASL): express consent means someone has agreed, verbally or in writing, to receive a commercial electronic message from you, and senders should be ready to provide proof of that consent. Canada’s anti-spam legislation
- An online transaction worth more than $50 is covered by Ontario’s Consumer Protection Act, and the business must disclose certain information to the customer before the transaction is completed. Ontario.ca: online shopping
