Incorporating creates a legal entity separate from its owners, which generally provides limited liability protection and can offer tax planning flexibility that isn't available to a sole proprietorship. The process typically involves a NUANS name search, filing Articles of Incorporation, setting up a share structure, and establishing the corporation's CRA program accounts — after which ongoing corporate recordkeeping, like maintaining a minute book, becomes a legal requirement.

Straight answers about how this service works and what we need from you.
Ontario (provincial) incorporation is generally simpler and less expensive for a business operating mainly within the province. Federal incorporation provides name protection across Canada but requires registering extra-provincially in each province of operation.

A minute book is a corporation's official legal record — directors, shareholders, share issuances, and resolutions. Ontario corporations are legally required to maintain one from the start.
Yes, generally — since the corporation is a separate legal entity, its finances need to be kept apart from personal accounts, which typically means opening a dedicated business account.
