        Incorporate Now

In as little as thirty minutes, we can incorporate your Ontario company!

  1. Selecting a Business Name: Your company name needs to be distinct from other Ontario-registered business names. You can either choose your own name or have a numerical name assigned to you by the government. A NUANS report, which can be purchased through our incorporation packages, is required if you are registering a named corporation. Be advised that you may need to use specific names that adhere to regulations established by the relevant authorities, depending on the form of incorporation. We will advise you and offer potential names that would be workable for incorporation if we discover any problems with the suggested name.
  2. Directors, Officers, Shareholders, and Incorporators: During the incorporation process, you have to identify the corporation’s shareholders, directors, and officers as well as their responsibilities. A minimum of one individual must have the roles of shareholder, director, and incorporator; however, one person may hold all three roles. Officers are considered workers of the company. Remember that co-ops and not-for-profits need at least three directors to function.
  3. Registered Office Address: Every business is required to have a registered office address, which could be either a commercial or a residential location. If you do not have an accessible address in Ontario, our Address & Mail Forwarding Service is available for purchase (Only available for registration purposes).
  4. Initial Return Filing: All corporations in Ontario are required to submit their initial return within 60 days following their incorporation. If this return is not filed, the corporation will be deemed non-compliant with the corporate registry. This non-compliance could lead to the government dissolving the corporation.

No, there are no residency requirements to incorporate in Ontario. Directors may be from other domestic or foreign jurisdictions. Incorporators must be individuals or other Ontario businesses.

The main difference lies in how they handle the profits and their primary objectives.

  • For-Profit Organizations: These are businesses established with the primary intent of generating profits for the business owner or their shareholders. The main focus isn’t necessarily societal or community benefits, but rather earning a profit from goods sold or services provided.
  • Not-For-Profit Organizations: These organizations exist to fulfill an owner’s organizational objectives and are not primarily focused on generating profits. They can operate for social welfare, civic improvement, sport, recreation, or any other purpose except profit. They do not have shareholders or owners who receive dividends or financial distributions.
What is the difference between a Holding Company and an Operating Company?

Simplified: An operating company does things, and a holding company owns things.

  • Operating Company: It is a company that operates its business activity. It undertakes day-to-day business activities and generates revenue and has assets and liabilities related to regular operations. It may then provide manufacturing products or rendering services, employing staff, etc.
  • Holding Company: It is a company holding investment assets in other companies and whose purpose is to own as well as control the investments. It does not operate any active business but holds and manages the assets from shares, real estate, intellectual property, and other investments in their possession. — Example: Here, the holding company which owns a subsidiary company will become the shareholder of that particular operating company.
  • Asset Protection and Risk Management: the holding structure forms a buffer for the operationally active companies and their assets against creditor claims or established claims.
  • Tax Planning: is possible in many ways, with the holding company availing of income splitting, capital gains exemptions, and tax-deferred intercorporate dividends.
  • Increased Business Flexibility and Control: A holding company setup structure offers more flexibility and control in doing business with a number of subsidiaries.
  • Succession planning and wealth preservation are other ways in which a holding company will be of great importance to families or business owners through a smooth transfer of assets and wealth to successive generations.
  • Taxes on companies can also be deferred and reduced: This is possible in holding companies’ cases.
  • Low-Interest Loan Opportunities: A holding company may provide opportunities for low-interest loans.
    Holding companies can provide the facility of discrete and low-cost buying.

A professional corporation in Ontario is an option for regulated professionals such as doctors, lawyers, and others. This type of corporation is subject to specific rules and regulations during its formation and operation, which are overseen by the relevant governing bodies. Incorporation does not absolve the professional from personal liability for malpractice, meaning they remain accountable for their professional actions. While the corporation’s activities are limited to the practice of its profession, it is permitted to undertake tasks related to this practice. For differences between a professional and standard corporation.

A Personal Real Estate Corporation (PREC) is a corporation that real estate professionals in Ontario can form to conduct their business. In this arrangement, the real estate professional becomes the “controlling shareholder” of the corporation, giving them control over the corporation and its activities.

  • Benefits of Forming a PREC: A PREC will provide a financial benefit for the real estate professional. More flexibility in managing one’s income may lead to possible tax savings. However, application and exact benefit vary based on the individual business situation.
  • Function of a PREC: The main purpose of the PREC would be to provide services of the real estate professional-parent on behalf of a brokerage they are licensed with. A key fact to be kept in mind is that a PREC cannot operate independently like a brokerage.

Cooperatives are a business model organization wherein ownership and operations will be managed and transacted by the members themselves. They are founded on democratic principles; consequently, each member has an equal say in the decision-making process. They serve people’s purposes for consumer services, producer services, community development, education, sustainability, and innovation in technology. The specific use for a cooperative would depend upon the needs and goals of its members. An example of a cooperative includes MEC, or Mountain Equipment Co-op. They are a retail co-operative that sells outdoor recreation gear and clothing and only sell to its members.
