Benefits of Incorporation in Ontario and Canada

Incorporation provides protection through the separation of your personal liability from company's liability, in most circumstances. If you choose to incorporate your business, it is important to ensure that your constating documents and organizing materials are in order. Our business lawyers can assist with the incorporation of a business, whether it is a startup company, professional corporation, or other business ventures.

How to Incorporate a Company?

For a corporation to be properly constituted and in compliance with the law, a corporation usually should be incorporated and organized. A corporation should have the following documents upon inception:

• Articles of Incorporation.
• By-Laws
• Organizing Materials.

The organizing materials consist of various documents that are generally required by the governing statute (usually the Business Corporations Ac (Ontario) and the Canada Business Corporations Act) of most corporations. The above-mentioned documents are usually maintained in the corporation's minute book.

What is a Minute Book?

A minute book is a record book of a corporation, business corporation, partnership, or other business entity that holds the corporation's legal records, whether required by law or as a result of corporate governance. Every corporation or other business entity in Ontario or Canada should have a physical minute book or an electronic minute book.

Do Securities Laws Apply?

There are also various securities requirements to consider when starting a business in Ontario and Canada, and it is extremely important to ensure that your business is not breaching such requirements.

Incorporating a Professional Corporation

A Professional Corporation Incorporation is an incorporation of a business relating to the practise of a professional regulated by a governing body. Essentially, it is a professional corporation providing professional services where a member of a profession is governed by a body, such as a dentist, accountant, lawyer, doctor, or veterinarian.
