Overview
It is a sworn statement — also called a sole proprietor affidavit — confirming that a business is carried on by you as a sole proprietor, that there are no other owners, and the trade name if one is used.
Banks and suppliers use it to confirm who is responsible for the business.
It is used in banking and business dealings.
Identify yourself, the business and any trade name, the nature of the business, and that you are the sole owner and personally responsible. If you only need to confirm a trade name, a trade or operating name declaration may fit instead.
After you fill in your statutory declaration of sole proprietorship and download the PDF, do not sign it in advance. A sworn document must be signed in front of a notary public or commissioner for taking affidavits, who administers your oath or solemn affirmation first.
Minute Notary commissions your statutory declaration of sole proprietorship online by secure video, under Ontario's remote commissioning rules (O. Reg. 431/20), or in person in Ottawa. Bring valid government-issued photo identification.
