Businesses that wish to possess, sell, manufacture or export firearms or ammunition must have a Firearms Business Licence (as mandated by the Firearms Act). A Firearms Business Licence is subject to renewal every 3 or 5 years (depending on the activity of the business). A Chief Firearms Officer maintains legal responsibility for the approval or refusal of Firearms Business Licences. All Firearms Business Licenses are held within CFIS.
