You Stopped Operating, But Is Your Business Actually Closed?

Stopping operations is not the same as closing.

What stays open

  • CRA accounts and filing requirements
  • Annual corporate registry filings
  • Leases, loans and guarantees

What to do

File any missing returns, settle commitments, request clearance and file articles of dissolution. The free Closure Options Check is a good place to start.
