Your Business: Canada Business Corporations Act |

| Have you considered incorporating your business? The main advantages of operating a
business through a corporation are limited liability, perpetual existence and a reduced
tax rate. Federal incorporation offers unique benefits to small businesses. For
example, when you incorporate federally, a country-wide search of your proposed
name is made, which checks it against other names or trademarks in existence,
providing you with stronger name protection. More than 200 000 entrepreneurs have
chosen to incorporate federally over the past 20 years. If you incorporate federally, Industry Canada's Corporations Directorate can offer you various services depending on your specific needs. For instance, if you incorporate on-line, the processing turnaround time is usually within one business day. The fee for on-line incorporation is $200 compared to $250 for a traditional paper filing. Industry Canada also produces an extensive variety of information kits and policy statements to help you use the services offered under the Canada Business Corporations Act. Some of the kits include information on incorporation, amalgamation and dissolution, and the Small Business Guide to Federal Incorporation. Many clients choose to incorporate using the clear, easy-to-follow guidelines provided by the Directorate. |
