What is a corporation?
A corporation is a legal entity that is separate from its owners. It is created by filing articles of incorporation with the provincial or federal government, depending on the scope of the business. Once incorporated, the corporation can conduct business, own assets, and enter into contracts in its own name.
Why incorporate?
Incorporation offers several benefits, including:
- Limited liability: The owners of a corporation (shareholders) are not personally liable for the debts and obligations of the corporation. Their liability is limited to the amount of their investment in the corporation.
- Tax benefits: Corporations may be able to take advantage of lower tax rates and deductions.
- Perpetual existence: A corporation can continue to exist even if the original owners sell their shares or pass away.
- Professionalism: Incorporation can add credibility and professionalism to a business, which can be important for attracting investors, partners, and customers.
