Provincial incorporation registers your corporation under a specific province’s business corporations act. It’s often simpler and can be a good fit if you only plan to operate within that province.
What Is Provincial Incorporation?
Registration of a corporation under a specific province’s corporate statute (e.g., Ontario Business Corporations Act), administered by that province’s registry.
Who Is It For?
Businesses operating primarily or exclusively within a single province.
