Help Section

How is a PREC different from a other corporation?

Eligibility: PRECs are specifically designed for Ontario-registered real estate professionals, such as real estate salespersons and brokers.
Regulation: A PREC must meet the requirements applicable to personal real estate corporations and must notify RECO as required. Naming: A PREC can generally use a corporate name permitted under Ontario corporate naming rules and applicable RECO requirements.

Which package should I choose?

All packages include the Ontario PREC incorporation filing, applicable Ontario government fee, Articles of Incorporation, Certificate of Incorporation, and electronic document delivery. Choose a higher package only if you need the additional CRA or compliance filing services specifically included in that package.

Who can incorporate a PREC?

An Ontario-registered real estate salesperson or broker may be eligible to incorporate a PREC if the corporation meets the applicable requirements. Ownership, directors, officers, and shareholding must comply with Ontario corporate law and RECO requirements. Check with RECO to confirm your eligibility and any profession-specific requirements before proceeding.

Is this a one-time payment?

Incorporation and one-time add-ons are charged once. Address service, annual support, annual filing service, and domain or website products are term-based and may require renewal. Ongoing corporate, CRA, and RECO-related obligations continue unless your order expressly includes those services.

Are there any hidden or extra fees?

No hidden fees. The price shown includes everything in your selected package. Each optional add-on shows its price before you choose it, and your total updates as you go.

What information is needed?

You will need your real estate registration information, the name of your brokerage, your proposed PREC name, a registered office address in Ontario, the name and address of the director(s), share and ownership details, and a contact email. Additional information may be required to confirm that the corporation meets the applicable PREC and RECO requirements.

Do I need everything ready before I start?

No. Fill in as much as you can now to speed up your order. If anything is missing, we will contact you for it, or you can email it to us before we file. Your real estate registration details and brokerage information should be available because they may be required for the PREC setup and RECO notification.

What are the steps after I place my order?

First, we review your information and contact you if anything is missing or unclear. Next, we prepare and submit your PREC incorporation to Ontario. After Ontario accepts the filing, we email your official Articles and Certificate of Incorporation. We then complete any purchased CRA or compliance filing services and provide guidance on the RECO notification requirements applicable to your PREC. Printed documents and physical supplies ship only if selected.

How long to receive my documents?

After we have your complete information and payment, we prepare and submit your Ontario filing. With our fastest Registry Queue option, your incorporation can be ready as fast as one hour during business hours; other speeds are shown on a later step. Once Ontario accepts the filing, we email your official Articles and Certificate of Incorporation. Any RECO notification or other compliance process is separate and may have its own timeline. Government processing times are set by Ontario and are not guaranteed.

Is this an official government incorporation?

Yes. We submit your PREC incorporation through the Ontario Business Registry, and you receive the official Articles of Incorporation and Certificate of Incorporation issued by Ontario. Incorporation of the company does not by itself authorize you to trade in real estate through the corporation; applicable RECO requirements must also be satisfied. We prepare and file your application and do not provide legal or tax advice.

What is CRA Business Number?

A registered company must obtain a Business Number to access its account with the Canada Revenue Agency. The Business Number, or BN number, is a nine-digit code that uniquely identifies your business with the CRA.

What does Tax ID assistance include?

Our team handles the administrative processing needed to secure your CRA Corporate Income Tax Account from registry records, verify your profile, and ensure your business is tax-ready immediately.

What does Company Key assistance include?

Your 9-digit Company Key acts as your corporate password. We take care of retrieving this key from the corporate registry, connecting it to your profile, and making sure it's ready whenever you need to update your business records.

What does Initial Return & Email Update include?

The Initial Return is mandatory and must be filed within 60 days after incorporation. We use our monitored filing email as the corporation's initial official email during incorporation. If you purchase this service, we file the Initial Return and update the official email to the address you provide.

Trade Name /Master Business Licence (MBL)

Trade Name Information

Adding a Trade Name is very common practice by business owners to take advantage on business sign, bank cheque, business card, brand logo, and future trademark.

Example:
“987654 Ontario Inc.” is the legal name and “Joe Movers” is the trade name.

Trade Name Information

Adding a Trade Name is very common practice by business owners to take advantage on business sign, bank cheque, business card, brand logo, and future trademark.

Help Section

Should I choose a numbered or named corporation?

A named corporation uses the legal name you choose and requires a valid Ontario NUANS report. A numbered corporation receives a legal name such as “1234567890 Ontario Inc.” and does not need a NUANS report. A numbered corporation can register a separate trade name if it will use a public-facing name.

What type of Nuans report is valid for this filing?

Use an Ontario NUANS report for the exact proposed legal name, dated no more than 90 days before the Articles are submitted. A separate report may be required for each English or French form of the name. The report shows similar names; it does not guarantee acceptance or create trademark rights.

Which language option should I choose?

Choose English only or French only for one legal name in that language. “Combination English and French” creates one bilingual name. “English and French names that are equivalent but used separately” creates two legal forms, normally shown with a slash, and either form may identify the corporation.

Is there any guidelines for name?

A corporation’s name generally needs two components:

Distinctive: A unique or invented word that sets your name apart (e.g., “Mike”).
Descriptive: A common word describing your business activity (e.g., “Construction”).

Example: In "Mike Construction," “Mike” is distinctive and “Construction” is descriptive. Enter your preferred name, and we’ll help if adjustments are needed for approval.

When do I need a trade name?

Register a trade name if the PREC will carry on business or identify itself to the public under a name other than its legal corporate name. The registration lasts five years and does not change the corporation’s legal name or create trademark rights. Ontario requires the registered trade name and the corporation’s legal name to be used as required on business documents such as contracts, invoices, negotiable instruments, and orders for goods or services.

⚠️ Important: Physical Registered Office Address Requirement

A corporation is required to have a physical registered office address in Ontario. P.O. box or virtual mail box address is not acceptable. If you do not have a physical address, we offer address and mail scanning service.

Please ensure your provided address meets these requirements to avoid filing rejection.

What are the requirements for a corporation’s address?

The address must be a physical location within Ontario. P.O. Boxes and virtual addresses are not permitted. All official correspondence and legal documents related to the corporation will be sent to this address.

How do address-service options differ?

Address Service provides an Ontario registered-office address for the stated term. Address Service with Mail Scanning also scans mail received under the service terms and emails it to you. Neither option provides operating premises or, by itself, an eligible storefront for Google Business Profile.

Can I change the registered office later?

Yes. The corporation must file a Notice of Change within 15 days after the address changes. Any service fee for us to prepare or file the change must be shown separately from a government fee. Notify your governing regulator if the change affects any address on file with them.

You may request a date up to 30 calendar days in the future, but not a past date. The effective date cannot be earlier than the day Ontario receives an application acceptable for filing, and the NUANS report must remain valid.

Who can be a director of a PREC?

The real estate professional establishing the PREC must meet the applicable eligibility requirements to act as a director. Directors must generally be individuals who are at least 18 years old, are not bankrupt, and are legally capable of managing property. The corporation must also continue to meet the applicable ownership, control, and RECO requirements for a PREC.

Can directors be added or removed later?

Yes, subject to the Articles, by-laws, corporate approvals, and Ontario law. Any director change should be properly recorded in the corporation's records and the required Notice of Change should be filed with Ontario within the applicable filing period. The corporation must continue to satisfy the requirements applicable to a PREC after the change.

What is the difference between a director, shareholder, and officer?

Directors oversee the corporation and make board-level decisions. Shareholders own the issued shares and exercise the rights attached to those shares. Officers handle the management duties assigned by the directors. In a PREC, the eligible real estate professional may hold more than one of these roles, but each role remains legally distinct and should be properly documented in the corporation's records.

What must the Articles include for a PREC?

The Articles of a PREC must comply with the Ontario Business Corporations Act and the requirements applicable to a personal real estate corporation. The Articles establish key corporate details such as the corporation's legal name, registered office, share structure, and number of directors. The corporation must also be structured and operated in accordance with the applicable RECO requirements for a PREC.

What does the by-laws and minutes add-on provide?

This add-on prepares the internal by-laws and initial minutes or resolutions included in the package. These documents establish the corporation's internal rules and record its initial organizational decisions, such as appointing directors and officers and issuing shares. The corporation must maintain its required corporate records whether it purchases this package or prepares them another way.

Can the Articles be changed later?

Yes. Changes to provisions in the Articles, such as the legal name, share structure, or number of directors, generally require proper corporate approval and Articles of Amendment with the applicable government fee. Any amendment must continue to comply with the requirements applicable to a PREC and should be reviewed before filing if it could affect the corporation's eligibility or RECO requirements.

How are shares different in a PREC?

Shares in a PREC represent ownership of the corporation and are issued according to the corporation's Articles and applicable Ontario corporate law. The ownership and control structure must also comply with the requirements applicable to a personal real estate corporation and the applicable RECO rules. The exact rights attached to each share class, including voting, dividend, and liquidation rights, are set out in the Articles.

What does the initial share price mean?

This is the consideration the first shareholder provides to the corporation for each share at issuance; it is not the corporation's market value or net worth. A share cannot be issued until its consideration is fully paid in money, property, or qualifying past service with the required value. Record the issuance and payment in the corporation's records.

Can the share price or structure change later?

Yes. The corporation can issue additional shares later with the required corporate approvals and proper record updates. Changes to authorized share classes or their rights may require Articles of Amendment and can have legal, tax, or regulatory consequences. Any change should be reviewed to ensure the PREC continues to meet the applicable Ontario and RECO requirements.

What is a share?

Think of a share as a slice of ownership in a company. You can slice a corporation into as many pieces as you want—just one piece (1 share), 100 pieces, or more. To figure out how much the whole company is worth, you simply multiply the price of one share by the total number of shares

Is there any benefit of adding a family member?

The primary advantage of adding a spouse, child, or parent as a non-equity (non-voting) shareholder is the potential for income splitting.

Dividend Distribution: A PREC allows you to distribute business income by paying dividends to shareholders.
Lower Tax Brackets: If your family members are in a lower personal tax bracket than you, paying them dividends can theoretically reduce the overall tax burden for your household.

Can I add my minor child as a shareholder?

Yes, a minor child can be a non-voting shareholder in your Ontario PREC, but regulations require their shares to be held in trust by a trustee rather than in the child's own name. Our team can help you set this up

Ontario shares may be certificated or uncertificated. A blank certificate is not proof of ownership until shares are validly issued, the certificate is completed, and the securities register is updated. Choose this option only if you want physical certificate forms.

No. An Ontario PREC is not required to have a corporate seal. You may choose to use a physical or digital seal for your corporation's document practices or if a bank, institution, or third party specifically requests one.

Phone Support provides general corporate-filing support for 12 months. Complete Maintenance lasts 12 months from completion of incorporation and renews for $299; it includes Phone Support, and up to three changes or updates in total across the corporate address, directors, shareholders, or officers, with registry filings completed where applicable. It also includes a logo design service with three design choices, 12 sample business cards with one business-card design, and assistance with a Google Business Profile listing. Government fees, legal or tax advice, Articles of Amendment, Certificate of Authorization applications, and work beyond the three-change allowance are excluded; Google assistance remains subject to eligibility and does not guarantee verification.

Is the Ontario Annual Return the same as the corporate tax return?

No. The Ontario Annual Return updates the corporation's registry information and is due each year within six months after its fiscal year-end. The CRA T2 corporation income tax return is a separate filing, also generally due within six months after the tax year ends. This add-on covers only the Ontario Annual Return unless the order expressly includes tax preparation. Your governing regulator may also require an annual Certificate of Authorization renewal, which is a separate obligation.

What does pre-registration draft review include?

We send you a draft of the filing information so you can check factual details before submission. Draft review does not include legal or tax advice and does not guarantee Ontario will accept the filing. If you select review, we will not submit the filing until you approve the draft. For a professional corporation, we recommend reviewing the draft with your lawyer to confirm the Article provisions meet your regulator's requirements.

Which shipping option should I choose?

Shipping applies only to printed documents or physical supplies. Select the tracking and signature level shown beside each option. Carrier delivery estimates begin after the order is ready to ship and do not change electronic-document delivery or government processing time.

Is my business eligible for a Google Business Profile?

Google generally requires the business to make in-person contact with customers during its stated hours. A P.O. box or remote mailbox cannot be used as the Business Profile location, and online-only businesses are not eligible. This option is hidden when our address service is selected; for other orders, our staff assesses eligibility after purchase. If the business is ineligible, we issue the setup charge as store credit. Setup does not guarantee verification, ranking, or continued eligibility.

What does the Logo Design Service include?

We create a professional logo for your business based on your selected requirements and branding preferences. Choose no revisions, 1 revision for $99, or up to 3 revisions for $149. Revisions apply to the logo design and do not include a complete redesign with a new concept.
