Read the findings in context
Each report explains which records were included, when they were collected and what the data can establish. Federal incorporation counts do not include provincial corporations or unincorporated businesses. A registry address does not necessarily identify where a business operates.
Our research connects to practical resources on business addresses, company names and starting a business.
