What is a Business Registration Number and why do I need one?

Business Registration

Updated over a year ago

A Business Registration Number is proof that you have successfully registered your sole proprietorship with the government of Ontario, Alberta or British Columbia. Whether you are running a side hustle or thinking about getting started, your Business Registration Number makes your business official.

In Quebec, the Registry issues an NEQ number which is a unique ten-digit numerical identifier that a business is assigned when registering with the Registraire des enterprises in Quebec.
