Ontario business name registration support

Support for a registration or renewal application for a business name for a sole proprietorship or general partnership at the Ontario Business Registry.

Service fees and estimated budget

KeyApply service fee: 200 CAD for the standard package scope below, excluding applicable taxes.

The order price only includes the KeyApply service fee. Government fees are paid separately by the customer based on actual costs. Shipping/courier fees are also paid separately by the customer.

• Estimated government fee: 60 CAD for a standard new business name registration or renewal; some amendments/cancellations have a government fee of 0 CAD.
• Total estimated service and government fees: 260 CAD for a standard business name registration, excluding taxes, shipping, and any separately noted additions.
• Reference shipping budget estimated by KeyApply: 15–35 CAD per shipment within Canada; 50–100 CAD per shipment internationally. This is not a carrier quote; actual prices depend on the address, number of shipments, weight, and speed. Receiving electronic copies or picking up at the office incurs no KeyApply shipping fee.

Customers may pay government fees directly when permitted by the agency, or pay separately for KeyApply to submit on their behalf as agreed. Any costs outside the package will be notified for customer approval before being incurred. Estimates may change based on document type and agency fee schedules at the time of filing.

Scope of support

• Verification of business name information, owner details, and address.
• Assistance with preparing a new registration or a simple renewal.
• Support with filing upon customer confirmation/authorization and guidance on saving registration documents.

Information to prepare

• Business name, owner information, and address.
• Previous registration information, company key, or valid access permissions if required by the procedure.

Notes

The package does not include corporation formation, tax/legal advice, trademark protection, industry licensing, or multiple transactions. Amendments/cancellations are reviewed for scope and quoted separately; government fees vary by transaction.

Customers are responsible for reviewing and confirming information before submission. Processing times and results are determined by the agency. KeyApply is a private support service; customers may request services directly from the competent authority themselves.
