You should consider incorporating if you want to protect your personal assets, secure exclusive rights to your business name, raise capital, or access lower corporate tax rates. Incorporation isn’t legally mandatory to run a business, but it becomes important once you take on employees, contracts, or financial risk.
Incorporate if you want to separate your personal finances from business liabilities, because a sole proprietorship offers no such protection and exposes your personal assets to business debts and lawsuits. A corporation is a separate legal entity, so its obligations generally stay with the company, not you personally.
Yes, non-residents and foreign nationals can own and incorporate a Canadian corporation. Federal (CBCA) corporations require at least 25% of directors to be resident Canadians, while Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, and Quebec have no director-residency requirement, making them popular with foreign founders.
Yes, a NUANS report is required to incorporate under a word name federally and in most provinces, including an Ontario-biased NUANS report for Ontario corporations. Numbered companies (e.g., “1234567 Ontario Inc.”) don’t require one, and the NUANS report reserves your proposed name for 90 days.
You’ll typically need your Articles of Incorporation, a NUANS name report (for named corporations), a registered office address, director details, and your share structure. Our team prepares and reviews each of these before filing with the appropriate federal or provincial registry.
Yes, every Canadian corporation must maintain a registered office address in its jurisdiction of incorporation, where legal and government documents can be served. This address becomes part of the public record on Corporations Canada or the provincial business registry.
An authorized registry agent is officially permitted to submit filings directly to government registries such as Corporations Canada, the Ontario Business Registry, and provincial corporate registries. Filing through an authorized agent and a registered paralegal firm reduces the risk of rejected or non-compliant documents that can delay your incorporation.
You must file an annual return with Corporations Canada or your provincial registry, keep director and address information current, and maintain your corporate records. Note that the annual return is a corporate registry filing separate from your CRA income tax return.
Failing to file your annual return can lead to your corporation being administratively dissolved, meaning it loses its legal status and name protection. Reinstating a dissolved corporation requires a formal revival filing, so staying current avoids costly disruption to banking, contracts, and operations.
Most CBCA corporations must maintain an ISC register identifying anyone who owns or controls 25% or more of the shares, and since January 22, 2024, must file that information with Corporations Canada. Non-compliance can trigger significant penalties and even dissolution, so this is a core obligation for new federal corporations.
Yes, every Canadian corporation must maintain corporate records, commonly called a minute book, including its articles, bylaws, director and shareholder registers, and meeting resolutions. These records must be kept at the registered office and made available for inspection as required by law.
Yes, changes to directors, officers, or your registered office must be filed with the registry to keep the public record accurate, and federal corporations must report director changes within 15 days. Our Corporate Maintenance service handles these amendments so your corporation stays compliant.
Yes, you can incorporate a not-for-profit federally under the Canada Not-for-profit Corporations Act or provincially, and professionals can form a professional corporation where their regulatory college permits it. Each structure has specific requirements around objects, bylaws, and eligibility that we help prepare correctly.
Incorporating creates a separate legal entity with limited liability, while registering a business name (for a sole proprietorship or partnership) simply lets you operate under a trade name without forming a corporation. Business name registration is simpler but offers no liability protection or nationwide name rights.
