Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a sole proprietorship and a corporation?
A sole proprietorship is generally simpler and less expensive to operate, but it does not create a separate legal entity from the owner. A corporation is a separate legal entity and may provide certain operational and liability advantages depending on the circumstances.
Should I incorporate federally or provincially in Canada?
The appropriate structure depends on your business goals, operations, and intended scope of business activity. During a consultation, we can discuss which option may be appropriate for your circumstances.
What is a corporate minute book?
A corporate minute book is a collection of important corporate records and organizational documents that corporations are generally required to maintain under applicable legislation.
Do I need contracts for my business?
Clear written agreements can help establish expectations, reduce misunderstandings, and support business operations as your business grows.
