Help Section

Which package should I choose?

All packages include the Ontario incorporation filing, the $300 government fee, Articles of Incorporation, Certificate of Incorporation, and electronic delivery. Registration, retrieval, and delivery of your CRA Business Number, corporate tax account, and Ontario Company Key require specialized processing and are available through our higher-tier packages or add-on assistance services.

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 government and tax filing obligations continue unless your order expressly includes them.

Are there any hidden or extra fees?

No hidden fees. The price shown includes the $300 Ontario government fee and everything in your selected package. Each optional add-on shows its price before you choose it, and your total updates as you go.

What's needed to complete this order?

You will need a proposed business name, or you can choose a numbered corporation, plus a registered office address in Ontario, the name and address of at least one director, a basic share and ownership setup, and a contact email. A named corporation also needs an Ontario NUANS name search report, which we can obtain for you.

Is this an official government incorporation?

Yes. We submit your incorporation through the Ontario Business Registry, and you receive the official Articles of Incorporation and Certificate of Incorporation issued for your corporation. We prepare and file your application; we do not provide legal or tax advice.

Do I need a lawyer or accountant?

Most straightforward Ontario incorporations can be completed without a lawyer or accountant, and this form guides you through each step. We provide general filing information only, not legal or tax advice, so consider professional advice for complex ownership, tax, or share structures.

Do I need to ready anything before I start?

No. Fill in as much as you can now to speed up your order. If anything is missing, we contact you for it, or you can email it to us before we file. You do not need every detail finalized to begin.

What happens after I place the order?

We review the submitted information and contact you if anything required is missing or unclear. After Ontario accepts the filing, we send the official Articles and Certificate electronically. Printed documents and physical supplies are sent only if selected.

Can I get help placing an order?

Need help completing the order? Call (647) 931-9244 during business hours for general filing assistance. We do not provide legal or tax advice.

What does Business Number retrieval assistance include?

Ontario incorporation automatically creates a 9-digit CRA Business Number. This optional service covers our staff retrieving and delivering the Business Number information after incorporation; the fee is for our assistance, not for CRA creating the number. Retrieval and delivery are not included in the base incorporation service unless expressly listed.

What does Corporate Tax ID retrieval 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 Ontario company key retrieval 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 Filing and Official 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.

Example:
The legal name of walmart is "Wal-Mart Stores, Inc." whille its trade name is "Walmart".

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 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 only if the corporation 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 both the registered trade name and the corporation’s legal name on 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.

Do you have an Address in Ontario?

Help Section

What address can I use, and will it be public?

The registered office must be a full address in Ontario; a post office box alone is not acceptable. Use an address where official and legal mail will be received reliably. The registered office is on the public record, so a home address used here can be publicly visible.

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.

What is the difference between the address-service options?

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.

What is the difference between electronic and printed documents?

Electronic delivery provides PDF copies of the official incorporation documents by email. The printed option adds paper copies sent by mail; it does not change their legal effect. Seals, binders, and share-certificate forms are separate physical products.

Can I choose a future date, and does queue speed guarantee it?

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 any NUANS report must remain valid. Registry Queue is our handling priority, not a guarantee of government acceptance or completion time.

Help Section

Who can be a director of an Ontario corporation?

The corporation needs at least one director. A director must be an individual who is at least 18, is not bankrupt, and has not been found incapable of managing property under the applicable law or by a court. Ontario has no Canadian-residency quota for directors, although residency status is still requested as filing information.

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

Directors oversee the corporation and make board decisions. Shareholders own issued shares and exercise the rights attached to those shares. Officers perform the management duties assigned by the directors; one person may hold more than one role.

Can directors be added or removed later?

Yes, subject to the Articles, by-laws, corporate approvals, and Ontario law. Record the change in the corporation’s records and file the required Notice of Change with Ontario within 15 days. Appointing someone as a director does not automatically make that person a shareholder.

Articles & Bylaws

Clauses in the Articles

A Custom Articles of Incorporation allow you to establish a distinctive legal framework for your company by incorporating specific elements beyond a typical template. This may include limitations on business operations or share transfers, and particular governance guidelines. Such flexibility allows you to customize the corporation’s structure to meet your specific requirements and providing enhanced control.

Custom clauses +$299

Share Class in the Articles

Creating a personalized share class means creating specific types of shares, such as Class A, Class B, or preferred shares, that offer varying rights, voting capabilities, and financial interests to shareholders. By introducing these unique share classes, you can retain authority over corporate decisions, handle dividend allocations, and dictate how assets are divided in the event of liquidation of the corporation.

Help Section

Should I choose standard or custom Articles?

Standard Articles use the preset share and other provisions shown for this service. Choose Custom only when you will supply different provisions. If you need special voting, dividend, transfer, investor, lender, or professional-corporation terms, have a lawyer draft or review them before filing.

What is the difference between the share-class options?

Basic provides the common voting class described in the option. Standard provides Class A common voting shares and Class B common non-voting shares. The exact dividend, liquidation, conversion, and other rights come from the Articles, not from the class letter alone.

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

Ontario does not issue by-laws or organizational resolutions as part of the incorporation filing. This add-on prepares the internal by-laws and initial minutes or resolutions described in the package. The corporation must maintain its required records whether it buys 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 rights, or authorized number of directors, generally require proper corporate approval and Articles of Amendment with the applicable fee. Internal changes do not all require an amendment, so confirm the correct filing before ordering one.

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?

The corporation can issue additional shares later with the required approvals and record updates. Already issued shares do not simply receive a new issue price. Changing authorized classes or their rights may require Articles of Amendment and can have legal or tax consequences.

Help Section

What does being a shareholder mean?

A shareholder owns shares issued by the corporation. Ownership percentage, voting power, and economic rights depend on the number of shares held and the rights attached to each class. Being a shareholder is separate from being a director or officer.

How should I enter the number of shares?

This form uses whole shares. Choose a total that expresses the intended allocation clearly, such as 50 and 50 for an equal split or 60 and 40 for a 60/40 split. If shareholders will have different classes or rights, percentages alone are not enough; confirm the structure before filing.

Can shareholder or share details change later?

A later transfer or issuance requires the appropriate approvals, documents, and securities-register update; do not treat it as a simple profile edit. If the change affects the corporation’s register of individuals with significant control, update that register within 15 days after the corporation becomes aware of the information. Changes to class rights may also require Articles of Amendment.

When do I need a payroll account?

Register when the corporation becomes an employer or another type of payer that must withhold and remit payroll amounts. The payroll account must be opened before the first remittance due date. This service sets up the CRA account only; it does not run payroll, calculate deductions, or make remittances.

What does Import Account Setup cover?

CBSA uses one RM import-export program account for businesses that import or export commercial goods. Select Import Account Setup for assistance with the import side of the RM and CARM setup. Import and Export Account Setup are separately selected and charged services, even though both relate to the same RM program account; customs declarations, duties, security, and ongoing CARM administration are separate obligations.

What does Export Account Setup cover?

CBSA uses one RM import-export program account for businesses that import or export commercial goods. Select Export Account Setup for assistance with the export side of the RM and CARM setup. Import and Export Account Setup are separately selected and charged services, even though both relate to the same RM program account; export declarations and ongoing customs administration are separate obligations.

When do I need WSIB registration?

Most Ontario businesses with employees must register with WSIB within 10 calendar days after hiring the first employee, but exemptions and industry-specific rules apply. Construction businesses can have different obligations, and some businesses may choose optional coverage. WSIB confirms whether registration is required after reviewing the business activity.

Do I need printed share certificates?

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.

Does an Ontario corporation need a seal?

Ontario corporate law allows your business to operate with or without an official seal. You can easily add a digital or physical embosser seal depending on your company's formal document practices, or if a bank, law firm, or overseas partner specifically requests sealed documentation.

Do I need a corporate records binder?

Ontario corporate regulations require your company to maintain accurate and organized corporate records. While records may be stored electronically or physically, choosing an official corporate minute book binder provides a dedicated, professional hard-copy record of your Articles, By-Laws, director registers, and share certificates. Any physical supplies selected are shipped directly to you using your preferred delivery method at checkout.

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.

What do Phone Support and Complete Maintenance include?

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, and work beyond the three-change allowance are excluded; Google assistance remains subject to eligibility and does not guarantee verification.

What does the Domain Name & Website Package include?

This service secures your business web presence in one complete package. It includes 1 custom domain name (.ca, .com, or .org), 5 business email addresses, and 10 GB of high-speed Canadian web hosting with a free SSL certificate and 1-click WordPress setup. Plus, your renewal price is locked in with no surprise price jumps.

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.

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.

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.
