From consultation to incorporation
Incorporation in Canada
Starting a business or taking on a new contract? We help you decide whether a corporation fits, then handle the registration you choose.
Start with a free 15-minute conversation.



What’s on your mind?
- Starting a business and unsure what to choose
- A client has asked you to incorporate
- Working for yourself and considering a change
Start with the decision you’re facing
Sole proprietorship or corporation?
You want to start a business, but haven’t chosen its structure. We compare working as a sole proprietor with incorporating, based on your plans and expected costs.
A contract requires incorporation
A new client wants to work with a corporation, and this is your first contract. Bring their requirements; we’ll discuss the setup and the accounting help you’ll need.
Your business is growing
You already work for yourself and wonder when to incorporate. We look at what you earn, what you need for living expenses and what you plan to keep in the business.
Ready to delegate registration
You’ve decided to incorporate and want someone to handle the application. We confirm the registration option and scope, then prepare and file it for you.
Get clear on the decision before you register
Your business, your money
A corporation is legally separate from its owners. How you’ll pay yourself belongs in the discussion before you register.
Federal vs provincial incorporation
Federal incorporation does not replace every provincial registration. Start with where your business will operate.
What will it cost later?
We discuss registration and ongoing accounting separately, so you can budget beyond the initial fee.
Incorporation services: what we handle
Why involve an accountant?
Federal incorporation is available online. Our help includes discussing the setup, preparing and filing the application, and explaining the accounting work to plan for afterwards.
Confirming the setup
We discuss Alberta and federal incorporation, your company name options and the work you want us to handle.
Preparing and filing
We prepare and file the incorporation application. The registry issues the certificate.
The next tax steps
We explain your CRA Business Number and the tax accounts your business needs.

FAQ
Alberta allows a numbered company, so you can contact us before choosing a name. We’ll discuss which option suits your plans.
