What working with Aria looks like

1. Tell us about the business in the sign-up form, which takes about 5 minutes; logo and photos follow by email.
2. You get a temporary link within 3 business days, so you can click through every page and ask for changes by email.
3. When you are happy with it, you approve, the first CA$119 fee is issued, and the site is published 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.

Paperwork and rules for Ontario businesses online

Selling or advertising online does not change the rules, but a few rules often come up:

• 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
• 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
