Paperwork and rules for Ontario businesses online
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
- 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
