OneStop Business Registry

The Provincial Ministry of Competition, Science and Enterprise developed the "OneStop Business Registry" program to cut the red tape and reduce the paperwork and time associated with the registrations and forms necessary for new and existing businesses in B.C.

OneStop Business Registry allows business owners to complete important government applications quickly and efficiently, at one time and at one location. These include:

• Registering with the Canada Revenue Agency for GST, payroll deductions, corporate income tax, and import/export accounts.
• Registering a proprietorship or partnership.
• Registering as a vendor for the provincial sales tax.
• Registering as an employer with the Workers' Compensation Board (WCB)
• Applying for personal Optional protection with WCB.

OneStop Business Registry is a computer program that leads users through several application processes at one sitting and then sends the results to the appropriate agencies. It is simple to use and requires no previous computer experience.
