FAQ
What is the difference between Registry ID, Business Number, and GSTIN?
Registry ID: A unique identifier assigned by the provincial or federal business registry when a company is incorporated or registered in Canada.
Business Number (BN): A 9-digit identifier issued by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) for tax and other government interactions.
GSTIN (GST/HST Number): A 15-character number assigned by the CRA for businesses registered to collect Goods and Services Tax (GST) or Harmonized Sales Tax (HST). It includes the BN followed by a program identifier.
What are the documents required to verify my business in Canada?
While document requirements vary by region and use cases, here are some documents typically used for KYB verification in Canada:
- Business registration or incorporation certificate (federal or provincial)
- Business Number (BN) issued by the CRA
- GST/HST registration details (if applicable)
- Articles of incorporation or business license
- Proof of business address (utility bill, lease agreement)
- Shareholder and director details (for corporate entities)
- Financial statements or tax filings (if needed for further verification)
How is business verification in Canada different from verification in the U.S.?
There are many differences in the KYB process in the U.S and Canada. Please check with your local regulatory authorities' websites to get more information on your particular KYB use case!
Regulatory Bodies:Canada has a mix of federal and provincial business registries, while the U.S. relies on state-level Secretaries of State and the IRS for business verification.
Identification Numbers: Canada uses a Business Number (BN), whereas U.S. businesses have an Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS.
KYB Data Sources:Canadian verifications involve federal and provincial registries, CRA, and financial regulators, while U.S. verification relies on state business records, IRS, and credit bureaus.
Tax Registration: Canadian businesses require a GST/HST number for tax compliance, while U.S. businesses register for federal and state tax IDs separately.
What are the main challenges of KYB verification in Canada?
- Multiple Registries:Business data is spread across federal and provincial registries, making access complex.
- Varied Regulations: Different provinces have unique business registration and reporting rules.
- Data Availability: Not all business records are publicly accessible or digitized, requiring additional documentation.
- Beneficial Ownership Transparency: Canada is improving transparency, but identifying ultimate beneficial owners (UBOs) can still be challenging.
- Fraud Prevention: Verifying legitimacy against shell companies or inactive businesses requires multiple data points.
- Cross-Border Verification: Canadian businesses operating internationally may need additional compliance checks beyond domestic records.
