COIDA Registration Assistance
If you employ staff, you generally need to register with the Compensation Fund. We handle the registration so you can focus on your business.
COIDA registration
Your first step to COIDA compliance.
COIDA registration adds your business to the Compensation Fund’s records as an employer. It is the starting point for returns of earnings and a letter of good standing.
Registration requires accurate business and employee information. We prepare it correctly, submit it and help you understand your ongoing obligations.
Register once, then keep up to date every year to maintain good standing.
