Common questions

Straight answers. If yours is not here, ask us.

Do I need a lawyer to incorporate in Ontario?

No. Incorporating in Ontario or federally is a government form submission. CorpStart prepares and files the documents on your behalf as a document preparation service. For complex structures (trusts, estate freezes), consult a lawyer.

How long does it take?

Ontario and federal incorporations are typically filed within 1–2 business hours of payment, during registry business hours (Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm ET).

What's included in the price?

Your flat service fee covers document preparation, Articles of Incorporation, By-law No. 1, Organizational Resolutions, Share Register, and a digital Minute Book. The government filing fee is collected and remitted separately, shown at checkout.

What's the difference between Ontario and federal incorporation?

Ontario corporations operate only in Ontario (extra-provincial registration needed to operate elsewhere). Federal corporations operate across all provinces. Federal is more flexible for expansion; Ontario is cheaper and faster for local businesses.

Can you help with business name registration (sole proprietors)?

Yes. We file Ontario Business Name Registrations for sole proprietors, partnerships, and trade names. Same-day filing, $159 all-in.
