Ontario rules for a business with a website
A website does not need a special licence, but the business behind it follows the usual rules. A few that come up often:
- 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
- The Ontario Business Registry lets businesses and not-for-profit corporations complete over 90 transactions online, including registering, incorporating and updating their information. Ontario Business Registry
- 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
