Ontario Limited Partnerships provide Canadian and international entrepreneurs, investors, businesses and professional advisers with an established partnership structure for conducting business in Canada’s largest provincial economy. An Ontario Limited Partnership, commonly referred to as an Ontario LP, is formed under Ontario’s Limited Partnerships Act and combines at least one general partner with at least one limited partner. Unlike an Ontario corporation, the Limited Partnership is organized through a partnership structure governed by Ontario’s specific limited partnership legislation, making it an alternative that may be considered for investment activities, international business structures, joint ventures and other commercial arrangements.
For international clients, one of the most attractive practical characteristics of the Ontario LP is that the registration operates on a five-year declaration cycle. Under Ontario’s Limited Partnerships Act, a limited partnership is formed when its declaration is accepted for filing with the Registrar, and that declaration expires five years after acceptance unless it is cancelled or renewed before expiry. Ontario’s official filing guidance confirms the same five-year period and explains that a Limited Partnership continuing to carry on business should renew its declaration before the expiration date.
CFS Canada provides an Ontario Limited Partnership Registration Service for USD $1,200 for 5 Years. Rather than presenting the service as an annual registration package, the CFS Canada service is structured around Ontario’s five-year Limited Partnership registration cycle. This means clients pay USD $1,200 for the five-year service period, providing a straightforward and predictable solution for entrepreneurs and businesses seeking to establish an Ontario LP without managing the registration process themselves.
CFS Canada has assisted Canadian and international entrepreneurs and businesses with company formation, partnership registration and Corporate Registry services since 2004. Our Ontario Limited Partnership Registration Service is designed particularly for clients who want a professionally coordinated registration process, including international entrepreneurs who may be unfamiliar with the Ontario Business Registry and the requirements applicable to Limited Partnerships in Canada.
What Is an Ontario Limited Partnership?
An Ontario Limited Partnership is a partnership organized under Ontario’s Limited Partnerships Act. The legislation provides that a limited partnership may be formed to carry on any business that a partnership without limited partners may carry on, subject to the Act. It must consist of one or more general partners and one or more limited partners, and the Limited Partnership is formally created when the required declaration is accepted for filing with the Registrar.
The distinction between the two categories of partners is fundamental to the structure. The general partner is responsible for the management and operation of the partnership and has the rights and powers established by the Limited Partnerships Act and the partnership agreement. The limited partner participates differently. Subject to the legislation, the liability of a limited partner for the obligations of the Limited Partnership is generally limited to the value of the money and other property that the limited partner contributes or agrees to contribute, as reflected in the required record of limited partners.
This division between general and limited partners is one reason the LP structure is used in investment arrangements, joint ventures and other commercial structures in which different participants may have different economic and managerial roles. However, the precise legal, tax and commercial consequences of using an LP rather than a corporation or another business vehicle depend on the circumstances of the participants. CFS Canada provides the registration and Corporate Registry service; clients who require advice regarding taxation, liability, securities regulation or the suitability of an LP for a particular transaction should obtain that advice from their appropriate professional advisers.
Ontario Limited Partnership Registration for USD $1,200 for 5 Years
CFS Canada’s commercial offering for this service is straightforward: Ontario Limited Partnership Registration — USD $1,200 for 5 Years. The five-year period is significant because Ontario does not operate the LP declaration on a conventional annual renewal cycle. The Limited Partnerships Act provides that the declaration expires five years after it is accepted for filing unless it has been cancelled or replaced by a renewal before expiry. Ontario’s Ministry instructions likewise state that an LP that continues carrying on business must renew its declaration before the five-year expiration date.
For a client evaluating the cost over the entire registration period, USD $1,200 across five years represents an effective service cost equivalent to USD $240 per year. The client is not, however, purchasing five individual annual registrations. The Ontario LP declaration operates for a five-year period, and CFS Canada’s service is therefore presented as one USD $1,200 five-year service package rather than as an annual CFS Canada registration fee.
At the conclusion of the five-year period, an Ontario Limited Partnership that intends to continue carrying on business must address renewal of its declaration. The renewal is a separate future Corporate Registry transaction and is not represented as being included forever in the initial USD $1,200 service. This distinction is important because the Ontario LP service is different from CFS Canada’s Lifetime Registered Agent offerings used for certain other corporate representation services. For Ontario Limited Partnerships, the commercial offer follows the specific five-year registration cycle established by Ontario law.
Government filing charges and future government charges should also be distinguished from the CFS Canada service period. Ontario currently lists a government fee for a new Limited Partnerships Act declaration or renewal, and a higher government fee for a late renewal. Government charges can change independently of CFS Canada’s service pricing and should therefore be treated separately where applicable.
How an Ontario Limited Partnership Is Formed
An Ontario Limited Partnership does not come into existence merely because two parties sign a private partnership agreement or decide to describe their business as an LP. Under Ontario’s Limited Partnerships Act, the LP is formed when a declaration is accepted for filing with the Registrar in accordance with the legislation, regulations and applicable Registrar requirements. Unless otherwise provided by those rules, the declaration is signed by the general partners seeking to form the Limited Partnership and contains the prescribed information.
Ontario regulations prescribe important information that must appear in the declaration. This includes the firm name under which the Limited Partnership will operate, a North American Industry Classification System code describing the general nature of the business, the number of general partners and prescribed identifying and address information concerning each general partner. Where a general partner is itself an Ontario corporation or another registered entity, additional registry information may form part of the declaration.
CFS Canada’s role is to coordinate the Ontario Limited Partnership registration process so that the client does not need to navigate the filing infrastructure independently. The client provides the information needed for the proposed structure, and CFS Canada prepares and coordinates the Corporate Registry process associated with establishing the Ontario LP. This is particularly useful for international clients who may understand the commercial reason for using a Limited Partnership but have no familiarity with Ontario’s registry procedures.
The Five-Year Ontario LP Registration Cycle
The five-year registration period is one of the most important operational characteristics of an Ontario Limited Partnership and deserves particular attention when planning the entity’s long-term administration. Every declaration filed to form an Ontario Limited Partnership expires five years after the date it is accepted for filing unless it is cancelled through the appropriate dissolution process or renewed before the expiration date. The same statutory five-year declaration principle also applies to declarations filed by extra-provincial limited partnerships, although those entities involve additional considerations that should be treated separately.
Expiry of the declaration does not automatically mean that the Limited Partnership itself is dissolved. Ontario legislation specifically provides that an LP is not dissolved simply because its declaration expires, but an additional fee becomes payable for a subsequent renewal filing. Ontario’s current government fee schedule similarly distinguishes between an ordinary Limited Partnership renewal and a late renewal, with the late filing carrying a higher government charge.
From a corporate administration perspective, allowing the declaration to expire is therefore unnecessary and potentially more expensive. The preferable approach is to maintain a clear record of the five-year expiry date and arrange renewal before the declaration lapses. CFS Canada clients can treat the initial five-year period as a defined Corporate Registry cycle and determine before expiration whether the LP will continue, renew or be formally dissolved.
Ontario Limited Partnership Versus an Ontario Corporation
An Ontario Limited Partnership and an Ontario corporation are fundamentally different business structures. Incorporating an Ontario corporation creates a corporation governed primarily by Ontario corporate legislation, with shareholders, directors and officers performing the roles associated with a corporate structure. Registering an Ontario Limited Partnership instead creates a partnership relationship containing general and limited partners whose respective rights and obligations are governed by the Limited Partnerships Act, the partnership agreement and other applicable law.
The distinction is especially important for international entrepreneurs because the terms “Ontario company registration” and “Ontario business registration” are sometimes used generically online. A client requesting an Ontario company may actually be considering a corporation, LP, general partnership, branch or other business structure. The correct choice should be based on the client’s business, tax, investment and legal objectives rather than on the similarity of registration terminology.
CFS Canada can register the Ontario LP once the client has selected that structure. We do not represent the Ontario LP as universally preferable to a corporation because the appropriate structure depends on the client’s circumstances. Where the client needs advice about taxation, liability, investment structuring or the legal consequences of becoming a general or limited partner, those questions should be reviewed with qualified legal and tax advisers before proceeding.
General Partners in an Ontario Limited Partnership
Every Ontario Limited Partnership must have at least one general partner. The general partner occupies the central management position within the LP structure and, subject to the Limited Partnerships Act and the partnership agreement, possesses the rights and powers associated with operating the partnership. Ontario legislation also places important responsibilities and potential liabilities on the general partner, which is one reason the identity and legal form of the proposed general partner should be considered carefully when the LP is being structured.
The general partner does not necessarily have to be a single individual. Depending on the structure and applicable requirements, an entity can serve as general partner. Ontario’s regulations expressly contemplate declarations involving corporate general partners and partnerships acting as general partners, and prescribe the registry information that must be supplied for those entities. This flexibility can be important in sophisticated commercial structures in which the participants do not want an individual to serve personally as the general partner.
The decision about who should act as general partner can have substantial legal and tax consequences. CFS Canada can implement the selected registration structure, but it does not substitute for professional advice concerning whether an individual, corporation or other qualifying entity should occupy that role. International clients developing investment or holding structures should establish the intended general partner before the Ontario LP filing is completed.
Limited Partners in an Ontario Limited Partnership
An Ontario LP must also have at least one limited partner. The limited partner is conceptually different from the general partner because the Limited Partnerships Act provides a specific limitation on the limited partner’s liability, subject to the Act. The legislation states that a limited partner is not liable for the obligations of the Limited Partnership beyond the value of money and other property contributed or agreed to be contributed, subject to the statutory framework.
Ontario legislation also addresses the nature of a limited partner’s contribution. A limited partner may contribute money and other property to the Limited Partnership, but the Act provides that services do not constitute a limited partner contribution for this purpose. The limited partner’s interest in the partnership is treated as personal property. These characteristics are part of the broader legal framework that distinguishes the limited partner’s role from the managerial role of the general partner.
Clients should not interpret the words “limited partner” as meaning that every action by a limited partner is automatically protected from every possible liability. The Limited Partnerships Act contains additional provisions governing limited partner conduct and liability. Businesses establishing sophisticated LP arrangements should therefore have their partnership agreement and intended allocation of responsibilities reviewed by appropriate legal counsel. CFS Canada focuses on registration and Corporate Registry administration rather than drafting bespoke partnership agreements or providing legal opinions concerning partner liability.
Ontario LP Registration for Non-Residents
Ontario Limited Partnership registration can attract interest from entrepreneurs and investors located outside Canada who want to establish a Canadian business structure. These clients may be located in the United States, United Kingdom, European Union, United Arab Emirates, Latin America, Asia or elsewhere and may have no previous experience dealing with the Ontario Business Registry. For them, a professionally coordinated registration service can eliminate the need to understand the technical filing process before they can establish the entity.
International clients should nevertheless distinguish between the ability to register a business structure and the broader consequences of operating in Canada. Creating an Ontario LP does not by itself determine the immigration status of its partners, guarantee a Canadian bank account, eliminate Canadian tax obligations or establish that the LP is appropriate for every international tax structure. Those issues depend on the parties, activities and jurisdictions involved and should be addressed independently where relevant.
CFS Canada’s role is to provide the Ontario Limited Partnership formation and registry service. Once the client has selected an Ontario LP as the appropriate structure, we can coordinate the registration and provide a clear five-year service arrangement for USD $1,200. This makes the service particularly useful for non-resident clients who want a defined Canadian Corporate Registry provider rather than attempting to complete an unfamiliar provincial filing independently.
Ontario LP for U.S. Entrepreneurs and Businesses
U.S. entrepreneurs frequently evaluate Canadian entities when expanding business, investment or commercial activities north of the border. An Ontario Limited Partnership can be one of the structures considered alongside an Ontario corporation, federal corporation, foreign branch or other arrangement. The appropriate structure will depend on the nature of the project and the tax and legal treatment applicable to the participants in both Canada and the United States.
For a U.S. client who has already determined that an Ontario LP is appropriate, CFS Canada can coordinate the provincial registration without requiring the entrepreneur to learn the Ontario filing system. The client provides the required information regarding the proposed firm name, business activities, general partner and other registration particulars, and CFS Canada manages the Corporate Registry process associated with establishing the LP.
The five-year registration structure can also be convenient for international clients because it provides a defined administrative period. Instead of treating the Ontario LP as an entity requiring a new CFS Canada registration service every year, the client receives the USD $1,200 five-year service period, after which renewal can be addressed if the LP remains active.
Ontario LP for International Entrepreneurs
Entrepreneurs outside North America may have similar reasons for considering an Ontario Limited Partnership. Canadian market access, investment projects, international joint ventures, consulting activities, technology ventures and other commercial objectives can lead foreign participants to evaluate an Ontario business structure. The LP format may be familiar to investors who have used comparable partnership structures in other jurisdictions, although the Ontario entity must always be understood according to Ontario law rather than assumed to operate identically to a foreign partnership.
A British, European, UAE, Asian or Latin American client should therefore evaluate the Ontario LP in conjunction with advisers who understand the relevant cross-border tax and legal implications. Once the structure has been selected, the registration itself can be centralized through CFS Canada. Our service provides a practical entry point into the Ontario Corporate Registry system for international clients who otherwise may not have any Canadian administrative infrastructure.
CFS Canada has worked with Canadian and international businesses since 2004, and the Ontario LP service forms part of a broader range of company formation, partnership registration, corporate representation and Corporate Registry services. This means an international client can continue using CFS Canada if the business later requires additional Canadian registry services rather than treating the LP registration as an isolated transaction.
Ontario LP for Investment Structures
Limited Partnerships are commonly associated with investment structures because they permit participants to occupy different roles within the same partnership. A general partner can perform the management function while limited partners contribute capital or property and participate economically according to the structure established by the partnership agreement and applicable legislation. This can make the LP concept relevant when investors are pooling capital for a defined business or investment objective.
However, forming an Ontario LP does not exempt an investment arrangement from securities legislation, tax rules or other laws that may apply to the raising or deployment of capital. An investment fund, private investment arrangement, real estate project or similar venture can involve regulatory questions far beyond the act of registering the Limited Partnership itself. The Ontario LP declaration creates the partnership under the Limited Partnerships Act; it does not constitute regulatory approval of the underlying investment activity.
CFS Canada therefore separates the Corporate Registry service from investment or securities advice. We can establish the Ontario Limited Partnership selected by the client and its advisers, while securities lawyers, tax advisers and other professionals address the regulatory framework applicable to the investment activity.
Ontario LP for Joint Ventures
An Ontario Limited Partnership can also be considered for joint ventures in which different participants want clearly differentiated management and investment roles. One participant or designated entity may act as general partner and manage the venture, while other participants enter as limited partners under the economic arrangements established by the partnership agreement. This can be relevant to commercial projects involving real estate, technology, energy, international trade or other collaborative business activities.
The partnership agreement becomes particularly important in a joint venture because the statutory registration alone does not capture every commercial arrangement between the participants. Matters such as distributions, capital commitments, decision-making, transfers, admission of new partners and exit mechanisms may require detailed contractual treatment. Those provisions should be developed with the appropriate legal advisers based on the actual transaction.
Once the parties have established their intended structure, CFS Canada can coordinate the Ontario Limited Partnership registration. This division of responsibility allows professional advisers to focus on transaction-specific legal drafting while CFS Canada manages the Corporate Registry component.
Ontario LP for Real Estate and Property Investment
Limited Partnership structures are also frequently considered in connection with real estate investment and development. Investors may seek to combine capital for a property acquisition or development project while assigning management responsibility to a general partner. An Ontario LP can provide a recognized legal framework for that relationship, although the tax, financing, securities and property-law consequences of the project must be evaluated independently.
Registering an Ontario Limited Partnership does not itself authorize a particular real estate transaction or determine the tax treatment of the investment. Non-resident investors in particular can encounter significant Canadian tax and reporting considerations when acquiring or disposing of Canadian real estate. The LP registration should therefore be understood as one component of the overall structure rather than a substitute for professional transaction planning.
For clients who have already determined that an Ontario LP will be used, CFS Canada can establish the partnership through the applicable Ontario registration process and provide the five-year registration service for USD $1,200.
Ontario LP for Technology and Consulting Businesses
Limited Partnerships are not restricted to traditional investment funds or real estate projects. Ontario legislation allows an LP, subject to the Act, to carry on business that a partnership without limited partners may carry on. Technology ventures, consulting projects and international business collaborations may therefore also evaluate an Ontario LP when the partnership model corresponds to the intended commercial relationship.
A technology venture, for example, may combine an operating general partner with investors participating as limited partners. An international consulting project may involve parties contributing capital or other property while assigning management responsibility through the general partner. Whether these structures are preferable to a corporation depends on the particular business model and should not be determined solely by the registration cost.
CFS Canada provides the registration mechanism after the structure has been selected. This approach keeps the service focused: the client’s advisers determine what the business should be, while CFS Canada establishes and maintains the appropriate Ontario Corporate Registry record.
Choosing an Ontario Limited Partnership Name
The proposed Ontario LP must operate under a firm name that satisfies the applicable Ontario requirements. Selecting a name should therefore be addressed early in the registration process rather than after the rest of the structure has been prepared. A client may want to use a name connected with an international group, investment project, geographic market or commercial activity, but availability and compliance with Ontario naming requirements must still be considered.
Ontario’s regulatory framework requires the firm name to be included in the Limited Partnership declaration, together with prescribed information concerning the business and general partners. A suitable name is therefore an integral part of the actual registration rather than merely a branding decision made after formation.
International clients should provide their preferred Ontario LP name and, where possible, alternative names in case the first choice cannot be used. CFS Canada can incorporate the naming step into the broader registration process so that the client does not need to coordinate the registry components independently.
Information Required to Register an Ontario Limited Partnership
To begin an Ontario LP registration, CFS Canada needs sufficient information to identify the proposed partnership and prepare the registration. This generally includes the proposed Limited Partnership name, the nature of the intended business, information concerning the general partner or partners and the structural information required for the declaration. Where a corporation or another registered entity will act as general partner, the relevant corporate or registry information will also be required.
Ontario regulations require the declaration to contain the firm name, the applicable NAICS code describing the general nature of the business, the number of general partners and prescribed information for those general partners. The exact information depends partly on whether the general partner is an individual, corporation, partnership or another permitted entity.
CFS Canada reviews the information supplied for the registration process and coordinates the filing with the Ontario registry. If the proposed structure raises issues outside the Corporate Registry function, such as questions about partner liability, tax treatment, securities regulation or the terms of the partnership agreement, the client should address those matters with the appropriate professional adviser before finalizing the filing.
Maintaining the Record of Limited Partners
Ontario’s Limited Partnerships Act places record-keeping responsibilities on the general partners of an Ontario Limited Partnership. The general partners are required to maintain a current record of the limited partners containing the prescribed information. This requirement should be distinguished from the information appearing publicly or administratively in the LP declaration because the partnership’s internal records and its filed declaration perform different functions.
Maintaining accurate partnership records becomes particularly important when investors enter or leave, contributions change or the ownership structure evolves. A Limited Partnership should therefore be administered as an ongoing business structure rather than treated as a registration certificate that can simply be filed away for five years without further attention.
Where changes affect information required to be stated in the declaration, Ontario’s official Limited Partnership filing notice states that a declaration of change must be filed. Clients should therefore communicate relevant changes promptly so that the Ontario registry record can be maintained appropriately.
Changes During the Five-Year Registration Period
A five-year declaration does not mean that the information filed on the first day remains frozen for five years. Businesses evolve, and the Limited Partnership may change its firm name, business information, general partners or other particulars during the registration period. Ontario provides mechanisms for reporting changes when information required in the declaration changes.
This distinction is important when explaining the CFS Canada five-year service. The five-year period refers to the registration cycle of the declaration; it does not mean that every possible future corporate or partnership transaction is automatically included in the original USD $1,200 registration service. Amendments, restructuring, changes to partners, additional registrations and other transactions can require separate work depending on what occurs during the life of the LP.
The commercial advantage remains clear: the client establishes the Ontario Limited Partnership through a defined USD $1,200 five-year registration service rather than paying CFS Canada an annual registration fee simply to reach the next anniversary. Changes are handled when they actually occur.
Renewing an Ontario Limited Partnership After Five Years
An Ontario LP that continues operating beyond its initial declaration period should renew before the five-year expiry date. Ontario provides a specific Limited Partnership declaration renewal process, and the Ministry’s current instructions state that the declaration expires five years after the applicable declaration date unless cancelled and should be renewed before expiry if the partnership continues carrying on business.
The renewal creates the next registration period and should be treated as a future Corporate Registry transaction. It is not necessary for a new client to pay today for an indefinite series of renewals decades into the future. Instead, the client can establish the LP now through the CFS Canada five-year service and address renewal when the end of the period approaches.
Ontario’s current government schedule lists a regular government fee for a new declaration or renewal and a higher amount for a late renewal. Timely renewal is therefore preferable not only from an administrative perspective but also because it avoids the additional government charge currently associated with late renewal.
Dissolving an Ontario Limited Partnership
Not every Ontario LP will continue indefinitely. An investment project may conclude, a joint venture may reach the end of its purpose or the partners may decide to terminate the business. Ontario’s Limited Partnerships Act provides for a declaration of dissolution when the Limited Partnership is dissolved or when all limited partners cease to be limited partners. Filing the dissolution declaration cancels the declaration under which the LP was registered.
Formal dissolution should not be confused with simply allowing the five-year declaration to expire. The legislation specifically states that expiration of the declaration does not itself dissolve the Limited Partnership. If the partners intend to terminate the LP, the appropriate dissolution process should therefore be considered rather than assuming that no action is necessary once five years have passed.
CFS Canada can assist clients with subsequent Corporate Registry transactions when an Ontario LP reaches the end of its business life, allowing the registration and eventual closure of the entity to be handled through a consistent corporate services relationship.
Ontario Limited Partnership Versus Extra-Provincial Limited Partnership
An important distinction must be made between forming an Ontario Limited Partnership and registering an existing Limited Partnership from another jurisdiction to carry on business in Ontario. The first creates an Ontario LP under Ontario’s Limited Partnerships Act. The second concerns an extra-provincial limited partnership that already exists under the laws of another jurisdiction and seeks to establish its business presence in Ontario.
Ontario legislation expressly provides that an extra-provincial Limited Partnership cannot carry on business in Ontario without filing the required declaration, and the legislation contains specific provisions defining when such an LP is considered to be carrying on business in the province. That is a different commercial service and should not be confused with the formation of a new Ontario Limited Partnership.
CFS Canada therefore treats these as distinct service categories. This article concerns the registration of a new Ontario Limited Partnership. An existing Alberta, British Columbia, U.S. or other foreign Limited Partnership seeking registration in Ontario should use the appropriate Ontario Extra-Provincial Limited Partnership Registration service, which involves its own registration and representation considerations.
Why Use CFS Canada to Register an Ontario LP?
The Ontario Business Registry provides the provincial filing infrastructure, but many clients do not want to manage the registration themselves. This is particularly true for international entrepreneurs who are unfamiliar with Canadian provincial registries, investment groups coordinating multiple parties, professional advisers registering entities for clients and business owners who simply prefer to outsource Corporate Registry administration.
CFS Canada provides a single point through which the registration can be coordinated. Instead of learning the Ontario filing system, interpreting the declaration requirements and managing the registry transaction independently, the client supplies the information required for the proposed LP and CFS Canada handles the Corporate Registry process associated with establishing the entity.
Experience also matters when the client expects the relationship to continue beyond the initial registration. CFS Canada has assisted Canadian and international businesses with Canadian company formation, partnership registration, local representation and Corporate Registry services since 2004. The Ontario LP therefore becomes part of an ongoing corporate services relationship rather than a one-time online filing.
Ontario Limited Partnership Registration for Lawyers and Accountants
Law firms, accounting firms, tax advisers and other professional service providers may also need an Ontario LP registration provider when implementing a structure developed for their clients. The professional adviser may have already determined the legal or tax structure but prefer to delegate the registry process to a corporate services provider rather than managing the provincial filing internally.
CFS Canada can perform that Corporate Registry role without replacing the adviser. The lawyer can continue handling the partnership agreement and legal structuring, the accountant or tax adviser can address Canadian and international taxation, and CFS Canada can coordinate the Ontario LP registration. This separation allows each professional to remain focused on the area in which the client engaged them.
The USD $1,200 for 5 Years structure also makes the cost of the CFS Canada registration service straightforward for professional advisers to communicate to their clients. Rather than explaining a recurring annual CFS Canada registration charge, the adviser can present a defined five-year service period corresponding with Ontario’s declaration cycle.
Ontario LP Registration Is a Corporate Registry Service
CFS Canada provides Ontario Limited Partnership registration as a Corporate Registry service. We do not present registration itself as tax advice, legal advice, securities advice, investment advice or immigration advice. This distinction is particularly important for international clients because the creation of a Canadian entity can interact with tax residence, permanent establishment, withholding tax, securities rules, immigration requirements and other areas outside the provincial registration process.
Registering an Ontario LP also does not guarantee that a particular bank, payment processor, financial institution or commercial counterparty will accept the structure. Financial institutions conduct their own compliance, identification and account-opening procedures. Similarly, an Ontario LP registration does not provide authorization to conduct a regulated business that requires a separate licence or professional approval.
The CFS Canada service is designed to accomplish a specific objective: establish the Ontario Limited Partnership through the appropriate Corporate Registry process and provide a professionally managed five-year registration service. Clients can then integrate that entity into the broader business, investment or international structure developed with their professional advisers.
Register Your Ontario Limited Partnership With CFS Canada
If you have decided that an Ontario Limited Partnership is the appropriate structure for your business, investment project or commercial arrangement, CFS Canada can coordinate the registration without requiring you to navigate the Ontario Business Registry process independently. We work with Canadian entrepreneurs, international business owners, investors and professional advisers seeking a reliable Corporate Registry provider for their Canadian structures.
The service is simple and transparent:
Ontario Limited Partnership Registration — USD $1,200 for 5 Years.
The five-year service period corresponds with the Ontario Limited Partnership declaration cycle. Ontario law provides that the declaration expires five years after it is accepted for filing unless it is cancelled or renewed, which means the LP should address renewal before the end of that period if it will continue carrying on business.
To begin your Ontario LP registration, provide CFS Canada with the proposed Limited Partnership name, the general nature of the business, information concerning the proposed general partner or partners, and the basic details of the intended partnership structure. We can then coordinate the information required for the Ontario registration and guide the Corporate Registry process through completion.
CFS Canada has assisted Canadian and international businesses with company formation, partnership registration and Corporate Registry services since 2004. Whether you are a Canadian entrepreneur establishing a new venture, a U.S. business owner developing a Canadian structure, an international investor organizing an Ontario project or a professional adviser establishing an LP for a client, CFS Canada can provide the Corporate Registry support required to put the structure in place.
