Can some one please let me know what do we need to do wholesale in Canada?

I have Business Number already, do I need to get any retail license or something like that?

Thanks guys!

There’s no specific license required if you already have a business number… just make sure you’re registered for GST/HST and obtain required provincial or municipal permits depending on your product type.

If you want to start wholesale in Canada, you usually don’t need a special wholesale license. Having a Business Number (BN) from the is the main requirement, and most suppliers will ask for that to confirm you are a registered business. If your annual sales go over CAD 30,000, you’ll need to register for GST/HST to collect and remit taxes.

Are you planning to sell on Amazon Canada or through a physical store?

Since you already have a Business Number, you can start wholesale. Usually, no separate retail license is needed, but some suppliers may ask for a resale certificate or proof of business.

You need to get your GST/HST Accounts active for Canadian whole sale business.

No, for wholesale in Canada, your Business Number is enough; you don’t need a separate retail license. Just make sure to register for GST/HST if required.
