Before you publish: rules that apply in Ontario

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
• 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
• 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
