Entity types
Choose the right business structure for your company
Corporation (Inc.)
A Corporation (Inc.) is a separate legal entity that provides strong liability protection for its owners. It's a common choice for businesses aiming for growth, attracting investment, or building long-term credibility. Register from anywhere in the world – our digital-first process means no paperwork hassles.
Benefits
- Limited liability: Shareholders' liability is limited to their investment in the corporation, protecting personal assets.
- Easier to raise capital: Share-based structure supports equity financing and makes it straightforward to bring on investors.
- Perpetual existence: The corporation continues operating regardless of changes in ownership or shareholders.
- Credibility: Well-recognized by lenders, suppliers, and customers as an established business structure.
- Tax advantages: Potential access to the small business deduction, income splitting, and tax deferral strategies.
Key considerations
- Directors have statutory duties and fiduciary responsibilities under corporate law.
- Dividends paid to shareholders are taxed at the individual level.
- Higher initial setup costs and ongoing administrative requirements compared to other structures.
- Must file annual corporate tax returns and maintain records under the Canada Business Corporations Act (CBCA) or applicable provincial legislation.
