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:

• 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
• PIPEDA sets the ground rules for how private-sector organizations collect, use and disclose personal information. Office of the Privacy Commissioner: PIPEDA
• 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

How the CA$119 plan works

Our team has been designing websites for small businesses since 2008. 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. Start with the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and tell us what the business does.
2. You get a temporary link within 3 business days, so you can click through every page and ask for changes by email.
3. Once you say it is ready, you pay the first month and the website goes live on your domain.

Once the site is live, hosting, SSL and daily backups are on our side, and the changes you email in are included.
