Incorporate in Canada

Limited Liability Protection: Incorporation legally separates your personal assets from the business, protecting you from personal liability for debts, lawsuits, and other business-related risks.

Tax Planning Opportunities: Corporations may benefit from a lower small business tax rate, income splitting, and deferring personal taxes through retained earnings and dividends.

Business Credibility and Continuity: Operating as a corporation can enhance your credibility with clients, investors, and lenders. Corporations also have perpetual existence, meaning they continue to exist regardless of changes in ownership or management.

Access to Capital: Corporations can raise capital by issuing shares, which can make it easier to attract investors or partners.

Schedule your consultation today to ensure your corporate records are current, compliant, and audit ready.

Our Incorporation Services Include:

We handle every aspect of the incorporation process—from choosing the right structure to drafting governance documents—ensuring your new company meets all legal requirements in Canada.

Choosing the Right Business Structure

We help you determine the best type of entity for your business goals, whether:
  • Federal Corporation (under the Canada Business Corporations Act – CBCA)
  • Provincial Corporation (e.g., under Ontario Business Corporations Act – OBCA, BC Business Corporations Act, etc.)
  • Non-Profit Corporation (e.g. charities)
  • Professional Corporation (for doctors, dentists, lawyers, etc.)
  • Partnership or Joint Venture
Each option has different implications for taxes, liability, and administration. We’ll explain your options and provide advice tailored to your industry and goals.

Name Search and NUANS Report

Before registering, a corporate name must be unique and not conflict with existing businesses. We conduct a name search and prepare the NUANS (Newly Upgraded Automated Name Search) report to confirm availability and provide a legal opinion on the chosen name. If you prefer, we can also incorporate a numbered company.

Filing Articles of Incorporation

We prepare and file your Articles of Incorporation with either the federal or provincial government, depending on your jurisdiction and expansion plans. We also prepare other key documents, such as:
  • Initial Registered Office and Director filings
  • Notice of Address
  • Share structure and restrictions

Organizational Documents and Shareholder Agreements

Proper internal governance helps protect your business and avoid disputes. We prepare essential documents, including:
  • Corporate Bylaws
  • Organizational Resolutions
  • Shareholder Agreements
  • Director and Officer Registers
  • Share Certificates
These documents define how your corporation will operate, how decisions are made, and how disputes or buyouts are handled.

Business Number and CRA Registration

We assist with obtaining your Business Number (BN), Corporate Key (Required for any online filing) from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and registering for applicable tax accounts:
  • GST/HST
  • Payroll
  • Import/Export

    FAQs

    Anyone starting a corporation, bringing on business partners, restructuring a company, or planning for future growth can benefit from working with an incorporation lawyer. We help entrepreneurs, startups, professionals, and established businesses create the right legal foundation from the beginning.

    The right choice depends on your business goals. Federal incorporation can provide broader name protection across Canada, while provincial incorporation may be suitable for businesses operating primarily within one province. We review your objectives and recommend the structure that best fits your needs.

    Yes, but many business owners seek legal assistance to avoid mistakes with share structures, governance documents, ownership arrangements, and compliance requirements. Proper legal planning at incorporation can help prevent costly issues later.

    In addition to the Articles of Incorporation, businesses often require bylaws, organizational resolutions, share certificates, director and officer registers, and shareholder agreements. We prepare and organize these documents to ensure your corporation is properly established.

    A NUANS report helps determine whether your proposed corporate name is available and sufficiently distinct from existing businesses. We conduct the necessary searches and help ensure your chosen name meets legal requirements before incorporation.

    If your corporation has multiple owners, a shareholder agreement is strongly recommended. It helps establish ownership rights, decision-making procedures, dispute resolution processes, and exit strategies if circumstances change.

    Yes. We assist regulated professionals with the incorporation process and help ensure compliance with the specific requirements applicable to professional corporations in Ontario.

    Incorporation can provide limited liability protection, tax planning opportunities, enhanced credibility, business continuity, and improved access to investment capital. The specific benefits depend on your business structure and circumstances.

    After incorporation, your business must maintain corporate records, complete annual filings, update corporate information when changes occur, and remain compliant with legal obligations. We provide ongoing support to help businesses stay in good standing.

    Startups often need guidance on ownership structures, founder relationships, shareholder agreements, future investment planning, and corporate governance. We help create a strong legal framework that supports growth while reducing future risks.

    The cost varies depending on factors such as the type of corporation, ownership structure, and whether additional legal documents are required. We provide transparent pricing and explain the legal services included before beginning the incorporation process.

    We provide customized legal advice, prepare all required incorporation documents, assist with compliance requirements, and help business owners establish corporations that align with their long-term goals. Our approach focuses on practical, business-oriented solutions rather than one-size-fits-all filings.
