A Master Business Licence is a document in Ontario that places your business in the records and proves it to be legally registered as a Business Names Act. An MBL specifically is needed in some forms of businesses, particularly conducting a business name other than your own, or in establishing a partnership or trade name for an incorporated business.
Anyone operating a business under a name that is not their own legal name (sole proprietors, partnerships, and corporations operating under a different name) must register and obtain a Master Business License.
The Master Business License applies to:
Operating names (for existing corporations)
A Master Business License is valid for 5 years from the date of registration. You must renew it before it expires to continue operating legally.
The cost to register or renew a Master Business License online typically includes our agency fee of $99, plus applicable government charges.
No. If you are applying under your complete legal name (e.g., “Jack Thomson”), you do not need to register. If you apply under an abbreviation like “Jack Thomson Consulting,” you should register.
