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.

Why activities are so important?

To qualify as a charity, an organization must have purposes that are exclusively charitable and charitable activities that support those purposes. The purposes (also called objects) describe the aim or main intent of the organization. The activities describe how your organization will accomplish its purposes.

How to describe the activities?

When describing a charitable activity, keep the following points in mind:

what you want to achieve
how you're doing it – detailed plans
who the beneficiaries are and how they are selected any fees charged
frequency and length of the activity
involvement of employees and volunteers
how you maintain direction and control over activities and resources
other logistics (transportation, facilities, etc.)

⚠️ 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.

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.

What is the difference between the 2 Address options?

The address service alone will provide your company with a registered address that will allow for it to comply with the registration requirements. This address is not for operations; it is solely for registration purposes.

The mail scanning to email service is for forwarding all mail digitally to you if the address receives any government-related mail for your company.

What Is an Address Service?

The Address Service is an annual mail-handling and document-scanning solution we offer to corporations that do not have a local physical address in Ontario. This service can be renewed yearly for a similar fee.

Any government or corporation-related mail received on your behalf will be scanned and emailed directly to you.

How can I change my address in the future?

You can update your corporation’s registered address at any time by paying the applicable filing fee. Many businesses initially use a home or residential address during incorporation and update it later once they acquire a commercial or office location.

Decision Making: Adding trusted directors can bring diverse expertise to your board.
Residency: Yukon has no Canadian residency requirement for directors; they can be residents of any country.

Can I add or remove a director later?

Yes. At least one director must be listed at the time of incorporation. You can update the director information at any time in the future through a Notice of Change with the Ontario Business Registry.

If you opt for our Complete Maintenance package (available in the next steps), director changes and mandatory filings can be handled by our team at no additional service cost.

Capacity: Must be found capable of managing property under Ontario law.

If you sell products and services in Canada and collect GST/HST from your Customers, then GST/HST Account Number is Required. Customer's invoice or receipt must show the HST number. Unable to collect HST may cause penalty by CRA.

Who needs a payroll account?

If you hire employees, including yourself, you need a Payroll Account Number. If you do not have an employee, your own salary or a family member's salary can be processed through the payroll account to take advantage of CRA 'income splitting'.

Note for 2026: Under current TOSI (Tax on Split Income) rules, family members must generally be "actively engaged" in the business (working an average of 20+ hours per week) to qualify for certain income-splitting benefits. This service covers the initial setup of the account with the CRA, not ongoing payroll processing.

What is import account?

If your business involves importing physical goods for commercial use, an Import Account (RM) is required. This account identifies your business to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) for customs clearance.

As of 2026, all importers must also register through the CARM Client Portal (CBSA Assessment and Revenue Management) to manage duties and taxes.

What is export account?

If your business involves exporting physical goods to other countries, an Export Account (RM) is required. The government uses this account to process customs declarations and track the movement of goods out of Canada.

Do I need WSIB registration?

Registering with the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) is required for most businesses in Ontario within 10 days of hiring their first worker (including family members and some subcontractors).

Mandatory Industries: Construction, manufacturing, trucking, and most service/retail businesses.
Exempted Industries: Some types of businesses are exempt (e.g., banks, insurance companies, private schools, and travel agencies).
Why Register? WSIB provides financial security and "no-fault" insurance, protecting you from potential lawsuits if a workplace injury occurs. Many exempt employers choose to register voluntarily for this protection.

Notes on the draft review service

The package does not include the extract of the draft version from governmental systems and sending it to our customers. Should you wish to review the draft before the final submission, this option is available. Be informed that your chosen service speed determines when the draft copy is emailed to you. If we don't receive your green signal within a designated timeframe, our representative will proceed with the final submission and subsequently deliver the relevant company establishment documents to you.

Details on the shipping options

Should I list my business on google map?

Listing a business on Google helps by increasing its visibility in Google Search and Maps, which can attract more customers and build trust. It allows you to manage your business information, connect with customers through posts and reviews, and provide direct ways for them to do business with you, such as ordering or booking.

How a logo can help my business?

Strengthen your registered business and develop a brand with a unique logo. A logo for a registered business name is an essential initial step toward a successful trademark application later on. Our skilled graphic designers have received excellent feedback from many Canadian entrepreneurs.
