What are the Benefits of incorporating a Company?

1. A Corporation is a Separate Entity:

   In Canada a corporation has the same rights and obligations as an individual. This means that a corporation can acquire assets, go into debt, enter into contracts, sue or be sued, etc.

2. Protected Against Personal Liability:

   When you incorporate a corporation you are protected against personal liability for your business debts and obligations. It means you would not be personally at risk if the corporation takes a loan and fails to pay it back to your bank. It provides you the freedom to take greater risks.

3. Lower Income Tax Rate:

   A corporation is taxed separately from its owners and generally at a lower tax rate.

   A corporation is able to hold after tax income and invest it in different projects without triggering any tax obligations for its owners.

4. Continuous Existence:

   A corporation does not cease to exist upon the death of its owners.

   Ownership can be transferred to another individual and the corporation would continue to operate. Having continuous existence gives the business greater stability in the future.

What is the liability of the owners of a corporation?

Shareholders are considered as owners of a company and are not liable for the company’s debts.

If the corporation goes bankrupt, a shareholder will not lose more than their investment, unless the shareholder has provided personal guarantees for the company’s debts. Also creditors cannot sue shareholders for liabilities incurred by the corporation, even though shareholders are owners of the corporation.

What are the Benefits of registering a limited partnership in Canada?

1. A Partnership is not considered a taxable entity

   All profit received by the partnership is passed through to its partners, this means that the partners claim their part of the profit in their personal income taxes in the country where they reside

2. An LP is made up of General Partners and Limited Partners. Information about General Partners is filed with the government. Information about Limited Partners is not filed with the government

   General partners have unlimited personal liabilities for debts and obligations of the limited partnership.

   Liability of the limited partners is restricted by the size of their contributions into the limited partnership.

   To protect yourself against personal liability you may appoint a legal entity as a partner. However if you wish to appoint a legal entity as a General Partner that entity must first be registered extra provincially in Ontario. Such registration provides the company with an Ontario Corporation Number which allows them to be able to be listed as a general Partner in the LP. This is an additional cost and takes 3 to 4 weeks to process.

3. Only takes 3 to 4 business days to have the company registered

What are the Benefits of registering a limited liability partnership in Canada?

This allows the partners to be more fully accountable to their clients or customers and ensures that all partners can engage in their business without the concern of having their personal assets at risk, unless there is negligence or wrongdoing.

2. A Partnership is not considered a taxable entity

   All profit received by the partnership is passed through to its partners, this means that the partners claim their part of the profit in their personal income taxes in the country where they reside
