Business Number (BN) registration
The BN is a federal numbering system which is assigned to a business (one business, one number) to deal with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).
Not all businesses require a BN and CRA account(s) so it is important to read Do you need an account before registering.
The CRA is asking that all new registrants provide the social insurance number (SIN) of at least one owner/director and the business activity of the business when registering.
