# Top 50 subscription businesses in Ontario

Tamtam tracks 153 subscription businesses headquartered in Ontario. This list ranks the 50 largest by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by Scotiabank, Thomson Reuters and Shopify. Their median headcount is 1,271. Half of them were founded in 1999 or later. The most common headquarters are Toronto (32), Ottawa (5) and London (2).

This selection of large subscription businesses in Ontario highlights a strong presence of software development companies, alongside financial institutions and telecommunications providers. Noteworthy examples include Thomson Reuters, offering news and information tools for professionals, Shopify, which provides tools for retail businesses, and OpenText, specializing in information management. The list also features Rogers Communications, a provider of communication services, and Scotiabank, a global financial institution.

A clear pattern is the concentration of headquarters in Toronto, with a significant number of companies based there. Beyond the major urban centers, companies like GoodLife Fitness, headquartered in London, Ontario, and Hydro One, founded in 1999, which handles electricity transmission and distribution, contribute to the diverse economic landscape of the province.

## How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 11, 2026.
