Business Incorporation

Who Might Need It:

Incorporation is ideal for entrepreneurs, startups, and growing businesses looking for legal separation from their owners.

✅ Benefits of Incorporation:

  • 🛡️ Limited Liability: Your personal assets (home, car, savings) are protected if the business faces financial trouble.

  • 💰 Tax Savings: Corporations often pay lower taxes than individuals, and income splitting with family members can reduce your overall tax burden.

  • 🏦 Easier Access to Funding: Banks and investors prefer lending to incorporated businesses.

  • 📈 Business Growth & Credibility: An incorporated business appears more professional and can continue operating even if ownership changes.

📝 How We Help:

  • 🔍 Name Search & Registration: We check if your desired business name is available and reserve it.

  • 📜 Incorporation Filing: We prepare and submit the Articles of Incorporation for you.

  • 🏦 Federal vs. Provincial Incorporation: We advise whether federal (name protection across Canada) or provincial incorporation is best.

  • 💼 Business Number & Tax Setup: We register your corporation with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and set up GST/HST registration if needed.

  • 📁 Corporate Records & Compliance: We prepare your minute book, organize corporate records, and ensure annual compliance.
