The government requires very general information on the industry your company will operate in. You will be prompted to select this when you register your business through Ownr.
Selecting an industry
You must select from a list of industries. Even if your company does not fit perfectly within any of the listed industries, you must choose the one you believe best describes your company.
While this information has to be true based on your current intentions, it does not prevent you from changing industries or conducting business in various industries.
Changing your industry
You are able to change your industry after you register. To change your industry, contact the relevant government registry:
Ontario: Service Ontario
Alberta: Registry Agent
BC: BC Registries
Quebec: Registraire des entreprises
