Is Ownr a subscription service?
Yes. To help entrepreneurs manage and grow their business, Ownr operates as a subscription-based software platform for corporations that provides ongoing support. Depending on your subscription tier, these ongoing services include:
Annual Return filing & resolutions
Minute book maintenance
Equity management
Changes to corporate information
Changes to corporate structure
Generation of legal documents
Note: Sole proprietors that register with Ownr are subject to a one-time fee and are not on a subscription plan.
You will be charged automatically on a recurring annual basis. The Online Minute Book Plan is free for the first year and renews each following year. Learn more about pricing on our Pricing page.
Your subscription will be renewed automatically, and you will be charged on the day of your billing cycle unless you cancel. Manage your billing preferences in your Ownr Dashboard under Account > Settings > Billing.
For more information on the value of your Ownr subscription, read the Value of your Ownr Subscription article.
What is Ownr's cancellation and subscription refund policy?
When cancelling your annual Ownr subscription, all future charges associated with renewals of your subscription will be cancelled. You may cancel your subscription at any time before it renews and your cancellation will become effective at the end of your current annual billing period. There will be no credit or refund offered for the remaining portion of the subscription period.
If you’ve already cancelled, you can check how many days are left in your current billing period under Account > Settings > Subscription on your Ownr Dashboard.
We do not offer refunds for renewal payments after 14 days of the renewal charge.
What happens when I cancel my Ownr subscription after it renews?
You will not receive a refund for the remainder of the annual term after the 14-day grace period. However, your subscription access and benefits will continue for the remainder of the current annual billing period.
If you haven’t taken advantage of completing the Annual Return and accompanying legal resolutions as part of your subscription on Ownr, you can learn more in the Annual Returns article.
Once you’ve cancelled and the billing period has ended, you will lose access to your Ownr Dashboard & all Ownr perks. This means you’ll need to find a new location to store your company’s minute book.
We would also encourage you to figure out other service providers to ensure your corporation stays compliant. You will need to find alternate services to:
File annual and ongoing government forms
Prepare ongoing corporate resolutions
Manage your company’s cap table
Provide other forms of legal and administrative support.

How do I cancel or manage my Ownr Subscription?
All subscriptions can be managed in the Dashboard under Settings > Subscription > Edit. Ensure you research and understand the compliance items you need to take care of now that you will not be using Ownr to manage them.

What happens when I downgrade before my subscription renews?
