WeServe&File runs Ontario business profile searches for litigation, lending, KYC, vendor onboarding, collections and compliance. We retrieve the official Business Profile Report from the Ontario Business Registry and add a clear summary page.
Search by exact legal name or Ontario number, including numbered corporations. Most profiles are delivered the same day or next business day, as searchable PDFs.
Profiles come from the Ontario Business Registry.
From request to report in four steps
Provide the exact legal name or Ontario corporation number. For numbered corporations include the full style, for example 1234567 Ontario Inc. A last-known address helps when names are similar.
A profile is not a Certificate of Status. It does not show beneficial owners of private corporations or financial information. Copies of filed documents are a separate request.
Quotes include registry charges, disbursements and our service fee. Volume pricing is available for firms, lenders and insurers. Searches in other provinces and federal registries are available on request.
It is an official extract from the Ontario Business Registry that summarizes key particulars of a business entity. It is used for due diligence, litigation preparation, lending and KYC, vendor onboarding, and compliance workflows.
Typical fields include legal name, status, Ontario corporation or registration number, registered office address, directors or officers (where applicable), operating or business names, and filing history. A CRA Business Number may appear when it has been provided to the registry.
No. A Certificate of Status is a separate product that certifies standing as of a specific date. A Business Profile Report is an information extract and does not in itself certify capacity. We can obtain Certificates of Status upon request.
No. NUANS checks name availability and potential conflicts. A Business Profile Report summarizes particulars for an existing entity in the registry. We can add NUANS on request if you are assessing name availability.
Ontario corporations (numbered and named), extra-provincial corporations registered in Ontario, business-name registrations, general and limited partnerships, and sole proprietorships. Some fields vary by entity type.
Provide the exact legal name or the Ontario corporation or registration number. For numbered corporations, include the full style (for example, “1234567 Ontario Inc.”). A last-known address helps resolve similar names.
We perform an initial match using the name or number, compare addresses and historical filings, and confirm with you before delivery if more than one plausible match exists. We can append a negative-result note for discarded candidates on request.
Standard turnaround is same-day or next business day for most profiles. Rush options are available for urgent matters. We will confirm feasibility and any additional disbursements before proceeding.
Delivery is by searchable PDF via email. For multi-entity projects we can also provide a CSV summary. Password-protected files are available on request.
