Cancel your business name registration without retyping owner details

Sole proprietors, partners, and corporations cancelling a registered business name repeat owner or operator name, business name registration number, principal place of business, and contact information on every cancellation. This guide is an example of storing them once in hivi.

Official form and source

Start from the official source and always use the current version — form numbers and links can change:

• Service page: Ontario Business Registry — ontario.ca
• Form (Central Forms Repository): Cancel a Registration - Business Names Act — 5291

What this form is about

Form 5291 cancels a registration under the Business Names Act — confirm filing on ontario.ca.

Before you start: what to gather

• Registered business name and registration number.
• Owner or operator full name and address.
• Partner or corporation details if applicable.
• Authorized contact details — confirm on ontario.ca.
