This topic addresses general business regulation such as business names and business records. Specific topics such as corporations, partnerships are addressed under those separate topics.
The Business Names Act (BNA) (Ont) embodies a statutory regime whereby an individual (ie. a 'real person') may "carry on business or identify his or her business to the public", or a partnership or a corporation may "carry on business or identify itself to the public", in a name other than their own - with appropriate registration [BNA s.2].
For website planning purposes, all proclaimed statutes (both Ontario and Federal) are 'home-located' with a single topic. The below statutes are the 'home statutes' for the Business Regulation topic.
