Hi everyone,

I am trying to understand the process of ontario online business registration and would like some clarity from experienced users. I am planning to start a small business in Ontario and want to know how the online registration system works, including name search, required documents, fees, and timelines.

Is it better to register as a sole proprietorship or incorporate right away? Also, are there any common mistakes to avoid during the registration process? Any step-by-step guidance or trusted resources would be highly appreciated. I want to make sure everything is done correctly from the beginning.
