Should I incorporate a company or register a Sole Proprietorship?

It depends on your goals: a sole proprietorship is simpler and cheaper to start, while a corporation offers liability protection and more growth opportunities.

What are the benefits of incorporation?

Incorporation provides limited liability protection, tax advantages, easier access to investment and financing, and a formal business structure that can support growth and succession planning.

When should I start a Sole Proprietorship?

You should start a sole proprietorship when you want a simple, low-cost way to run a business on your own or under a trade name, without needing complex corporate formalities.

Choose a unique trade name.
Check availability using a Nuans® or business name search.
File a Business Name Registration with the Ontario government online or in person.
Renew the registration every five years to keep it active.
