Well, dba didn't seem to work (i.e. John Smith dba ABC Company). As dba is an acceptable (and oft-used) synonym for o/a, I would hazard a guess that o/a doesn't work either. Bottom line, register it as a "Parternship" if you want an org name. If CIRA asks for proof, say "I own 99%, my dog owns the other 1%. It is a partnership, though we do not have papers drawn up to say so." In promotion of free enterprise, you do not have to have contracts signed to form a partnership in Canada, so they can't argue that one. -kb -- Kris Benson ABC Communications +1 (250)612-5270 x14 +1 (888)235-1174 x14
