Master Business Licence Start-up businesses registering their business through any of the Ontario Business Connects workstations will get their Master Business Licence immediately following registration, or by mail when registering through the Ontario Business Connects website . Clients can use the Master Business Licence as proof of business registration at financial institutions and as part of any other business-related program registration in Ontario. This licence will eventually replace many of the government forms, licences and certificates required by businesses. To reach the Companies Branch public office, take the escalator from the lobby of 375 University Ave. The Companies Branch Helpline, an automated voice-response system, is available 24 hours a day to answer the most commonly asked questions.
Forms are also available from local land registry offices across the province.
These are listed in the blue pages of your local telephone directory. A service called Ontario Business Connects has simplified and streamlined the business registration process. The Ministry of Economic Development, Trade and Tourism operates business self-help offices across the province that offer information or advice to anyone wanting to start their own business. Each office provides access to resource materials and advice on preparing a business plan, managing a new business and government assistance available to entrepreneurs. 425 Sault Ste.
