How We Can Help You Incorporate Your Business in Canada
A business is not complete without the legal, licensing, or certification aspects. We can help you incorporate your business in Canada.
Incorporation in Canada
- Provincial (e.g. Ontario, including Great Toronto Area)
- If you incorporate provincially, your corporation only has the right to carry on business in the Canadian province where your business is incorporated and overseas.
- If you are planning to do business in only one province and overseas, there is no need to incorporate federally.
- Federal (Canada)
- Your corporation will be able to carry out business in all provinces
- Your corporation can use the same company name in each province
