The Business Number is issued by the CRA, and how you get it depends on the type of business you have.
For Sole Proprietorships:
If you’re registered in Ontario, you can search for your business number on this page. Scroll down to the section marked "Access your existing business or not-for-profit corporation", then create a login, and search for your company.
If you’re registered in Alberta or BC, the business number will be automatically inserted into your Ownr dashboard once your registration is complete.
For Corporations:
If you’re registered provincially in Ontario, you can search for your business number on this page. Scroll down to the section marked "Access your existing business or not-for-profit corporation", then create a login, and search for your company.
If you’re registered federally, or provincially in Alberta or BC, the business number will be automatically inserted into your Ownr dashboard once your incorporation is complete.
