Sole proprietors · a business not on your dashboard

Your business is not on your dashboard. Bring it back.

Your dashboard may not show a business of yours, often one registered before this system. You bring it back online, with the number printed on your Business ID certificate.

This leaflet is for a business that is not on your dashboard. A licence has its own leaflet. Bring back a licence →

OBFC cannot recover this business online
