The Government of Yukon has launched the first phase of the Yukon Corporate Online Registry (YCOR). This online system will offer Yukoners the ability to renew business names, conduct searches for all types of business entities and print certificates of status and compliance.
When complete, full functionality of YCOR will also allow Yukon corporations, societies, partnerships and cooperatives to submit annual and periodic filings such as annual returns, changes of directors and financial statements. As well, Yukoners will be able to incorporate businesses and register corporations online.
