Understanding Our Pricing
Government Fees
All prices listed are professional service fees. Government filing fees are additional and vary by jurisdiction. Federal incorporation filing fees are currently $200, while provincial fees range from $150 to $350 depending on the province. We provide a complete cost breakdown before you commit to any service.
No Hidden Costs
The price we quote is the price you pay. There are no surprise charges for "administrative fees" or "document preparation." If additional work is needed beyond the original scope, we discuss it with you first.
Payment Terms
For incorporation services, we require 50% upfront with the balance due before final filing. Ongoing services are billed annually in advance. We accept bank transfers, credit cards, and electronic payments.
Package Discounts
Clients combining multiple services often benefit from bundled pricing. For example, incorporating and setting up annual compliance together typically saves 15-20% compared to purchasing services separately. Ask us about package options for your situation.

Common Questions About Our Services
Yes, non-residents can incorporate Canadian businesses. However, federal corporations require at least 25% of directors to be Canadian residents. We offer non-resident incorporation packages that include resident director services to meet this requirement. You can complete the entire process remotely.
Missing deadlines can result in late fees and, eventually, dissolution of your corporation. Our annual compliance package includes deadline tracking and reminder notifications so you never miss important dates. If you're already behind on filings, our compliance audit service can help get you back in good standing.
For standard incorporations, our services provide everything you need without requiring a lawyer. However, if you have complex shareholder arrangements, significant intellectual property, or unique legal considerations, we may recommend consulting with a corporate lawyer. We work collaboratively with legal professionals when needed.
Your corporate minute book includes articles of incorporation, bylaws, directors' and shareholders' resolutions, share certificates, register of directors and shareholders, and records of meetings. We provide these in organized digital format. Physical minute books can be arranged for an additional fee if required.
While we don't set up bank accounts directly, we provide all the corporate documents banks require and can introduce you to banking contacts familiar with working with new corporations. We also explain what to expect during the bank account opening process, which can be especially helpful for non-resident business owners.
Generally, businesses with annual revenue over $30,000 must register for GST/HST. Some may choose to register voluntarily even below this threshold to claim input tax credits. During your initial consultation, we review your business model and advise on registration requirements and timing.
