Guided Business Registration

Service Description

If you have already received approval for your business name, but need help taking the next steps to register your business, a Small Business BC Business Advisor can help make the process easy. Our Guided Business Registration service includes sole proprietorship or general partnership registrations.

If you wish to operate a business in British Columbia under a name other than your own personal name, for banking or marketing purposes, you should register your business with the BC Registry. Other government account registrations we can assist with include: GST, PST, Payroll, Import/Export account, Worker’s Compensation Insurance Coverage (if required), as well as a printed statement of registration for your records.

Consists of a one-hour consultation.

This service is for Sole Proprietorships and General Partnerships only.
