Are you thinking of investing in a business in Ontario? Or perhaps you’re thinking of buying their products or retaining their services? Before you do these, you need to do your due diligence. It’s the best way to make a business decision and be confident that the business you’re thinking of working with is legitimate. In this video, we go over how a corporation or Entity Search works with the recently revamped Ontario Business Registry. A corporation search provides key information about a registered business or corporation in Ontario for due diligence and full confidence. Ontario Business Central can help you do a complete corporation search. While the Ontario Business Registry provides basic information about a registered business or corporation, our Entity Search service will equip you with a detailed and in-depth report. All you need to do is give us the name of the business, and we’ll find the following information for you: -The legal name of the business -Physical and mailing addresses -Business registration or incorporation date -Business activities -The names and addresses of the directors and officers -The registration status of the corporation. In addition to the corporation search, you can also request a Certificate of Status, Copy of the Articles, and other important documents. With this information, you can complete your due diligence and be confident that a business is legitimate. However, keep in mind that the accuracy of the information ultimately depends on the corporation. The province of Ontario has the corporation information based on filings. If the directors and officers have changed, the corporation needs to update this information to ensure that the registry is accurate. Similarly, keep in mind that a corporation search only provides information on the business itself, and not its shareholders. You can’t do a name search to find out what businesses they own; rather, a corporation search will provide details about the corporation that are a matter of public record. And lastly, it’s possible to look up a corporation even if it has been dissolved or canceled. The corporate search report will provide the last available information about a business, as long as the corporate record was properly maintained. At Ontario Business Central, we can take care of a corporation search on your behalf. We’re invested in providing you with the most accurate and reliable information, so you can make well-informed decisions.
