Business Registration & Incorporation

Make it official. Anywhere in Canada.

Registration is where every Canadian business begins and where most new owners lose their first two weeks. There are two levels (federal and provincial or territorial), four common structures, a name search that differs by province, a CRA Business Number with up to four program accounts, workers’ compensation and, in most cities, a municipal licence.

Business Plans for Immigration, Banks & Investors

A plan that opens doors.

Immigration officers, bank lenders and investors each read a business plan for something different: eligibility criteria, repayment capacity, return on capital. A plan that works for one usually fails the other two. We write plans for the reader who will decide, with the research, financial model and formatting that reader expects.

Business Bank Accounts

Open for business. Literally.

A business bank account is the first thing a new corporation needs and the first place a newcomer hits a wall: the bank wants articles, a Business Number, proof of address, identification for every director and signing officer, and sometimes an in-person visit. Arrive with one document missing and the appointment is wasted.

Books that balance. Filings on time.

Branding, Marketing, Social Media & Signs

Look established from day one.
