Why Incorporate

Incorporation is the most recommended long-term business strategy. Without this strategy, you’ll be personally liable for your business debts and legal issues.

Professional Corporations

In some situations, some professional organizations allow their members to register ventures through a corporation and set up what’s known as a ‘Professional Corporation. While such a corporation operates just like all other regular corporations, it’s restricted to only provision of specific types of professional services. Some of the professionals allowed to create these corporations include dentists, pharmacists, doctors, lawyers, and more

Benefits of Incorporation

Limited Liability – Unlike partnerships and sole proprietorship’s where the owner assumes all the instances of liability of the business, once a company is incorporated, the owners’ liability is limited to the specific amount of their investments in the business.

Business Continuity – An incorporated business continues to operate even if some or all the current shareholders leave the business or die or the overall ownership of the company changes.

Raising Capital is Easier – In addition to borrowing money, corporations can raise more capital through equity financing. This is a process that involves selling shares to venture capitalists or angel investors.

Tax Savings– Once your company gets incorporated, it will become subject to more favorable corporate income tax rates compared to the individual tax rates. That means your company can save more money to help finance its operations and future growth. Also, incorporated businesses allow for income splitting among family members and this leads to further tax savings
