The Company Key was introduced in October of 2021 under the new Ontario Business Registry system. If you are filing directly with the Province of Ontario, the Company Key is mandatory. As an intermediary company with the Province, we are able to by-pass the Company Key requirement making the business registration change much easier and faster. If you have obtained a Company Key, you may use this within our system as well.
