FAQs
Do I need a corporation or a sole proprietorship?
Corporations separate personal and business liability and can offer tax planning advantages. Sole props are simpler but place liability on the owner. We’ll map pros/cons to your situation.
Federal or provincial incorporation?
Federal offers name protection across Canada; provincial may be faster/simpler for local operations. We’ll recommend the best route for your goals and timelines.
How long does incorporation take?
Once we have your details, typical filings complete in 1–3 business days. Name approvals or complex structures can add time.
What information do you need from me?
Directors/officers, addresses, registered office, share classes, signing authorities, and ownership percentages—plus photo ID to satisfy KYC.
Can non-residents be directors or shareholders?
Rules vary by jurisdiction. Many provinces and federal incorporation allow non-resident shareholders; director residency rules depend on the act. We’ll advise based on your case.
What’s included vs. not included?
Included: filings, articles, minute book, initial resolutions, CRA accounts (as needed), compliance calendar. Not included: government fees, third-party legal/accounting opinions, specialized licenses (we’ll guide you).
After incorporation, what’s next?
Open banking, register GST/HST if applicable, set payroll if hiring, secure WorkSafeBC/WCB, and obtain municipal licensing. We’ll walk you through each step.
