• Incorporating a business corporation (filing articles of incorporation) under the Business Corporations Act
• Incorporating a not-for-profit corporation (filing articles of incorporation) under the Not-for-Profit Corporations Act
• Searching for or registering a business name, for a sole proprietorship, partnership, or corporation, under the Business Names Act
• Renewing, amending, or canceling a business name under the Business Names Act
• Filing an initial return or a notice of change, for an Ontario corporation or an extra-provincial corporation, under the Corporations Information Act
• Filing an annual return, for an Ontario corporation or an extra-provincial corporation, under the Corporations Information Act
• Filing articles of continuance, to transfer an extra-provincial corporation into Ontario, under the Business Corporations Act
• Searching the public record and ordering a search product (for example, a business’ profile report)

Transactions can be performed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, making it easier for millions of businesses and not-for-profit corporations to interact with the Ontario government.
