The legal basics for Chapleau businesses online

Before launch, it helps to have the basics in order. These apply to many small businesses in Ontario:

• In Ontario, you need to register your sole proprietorship if you are not using your own name as your business name, and a business name registration is valid for 5 years. Ontario.ca: business names
• 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
• Under Canadian competition law, it is against the law to make materially false or misleading representations to promote a product, service or business interest, and the law also prohibits the unauthorized use or distortion of tests and testimonials. Competition Bureau

How Aria builds your Chapleau website

Since 2008, Aria has been setting up websites, domains and business email for small companies. Nothing needs to happen in person: you send what you have by email and see the whole website on a temporary link before it goes live.

1. Tell us about the business in the sign-up form, which takes about 5 minutes; the rest goes by email.
2. We put the site together with your logo, colours and photos, and send you a temporary link within 3 business days.
3. Once you say it is ready, you pay the first month and we publish it on your domain.

After launch, you keep asking for changes by email: a new photo, an updated price, a new service. They are part of the monthly fee.
