Take a look at the benefits and downsides of registering your business as a sole proprietorship, partnership or operating name.
In the case of a partnership, each of the partners is liable for each other. If one partner makes a bad decision or cleans out the bank account and leaves the country, the other partner is responsible for all debts.
A Master Business Licence is a certificate issued by the Ontario Companies Branch. This is required to open a bank account for a sole proprietorship, partnership, or operating name for a corporation.
A NUANS name search is voluntary; it is not required for business registrations. When you have chosen a name, it should be checked using the NUANS pre search for availability. There is no charge for the first ten pre searches, .50 cents per name afterwards. The pre searches will inform you if there are any corporations, trademarks, or other business names similar to your preferred name.
The Ontario fee to register the business name is $60.00.

The process for an Ontario corporation (online filing Ontario fee of $328 or $360 at a Land Registry Office) is to view the NUANS report. Assuming the name is available, then register the Articles of Incorporation, enter the names and addresses of the incorporators/directors and file the Initial Return confirming the head office address, directors and officer positions (President, Secretary, Treasurer). This can be registered same day quite often within an hour.
For a Canada corporation, the NUANS is sent to an examiner who rules if the name is available. A name for a Canada corporation can me more difficult to obtain. It is being compared to every business & corporation name across Canada. This process can take 2-3 days. Assuming the name is acceptable, the articles are filed with the names and addresses of the directors & head office. Usually by the fourth day the Certificate of Incorporation is issued. It is not unusual to have to do another NUANS report to accommodate the Federal Examiner.
