Canada: A Smart Investment Choice

Canada's open trade agreements, combined with a stable AAA-rated economy and abundant natural resources, provide global investors a competitive advantage in a reliable and secure environment.

Strategic Market Access

Canada provides access to 1.5 billion consumers across 51 countries through 15 free trade agreements, offering preferential access, and reducing trade barriers. These agreements, including CUSMA and CPTPP, strengthen international supply chains and provide access to global talent.

Political and Economic Stability

Canada's economy benefits from stable inflation within the Bank of Canada’s target range, a low net debt-to-GDP ratio of 14.4% (lower than other G7 countries), and the government's focus on productivity and growth. These factors contribute to a secure investment climate.

We Are The Solutions To
Your Problems

Business Incorporation

We simplify the process of incorporating your business in Canada.

With approximately 2.3 million businesses in Canada, 75% of which are in Ontario, there are important steps to consider. We provide expert assistance, from initial legal paperwork, including Articles of Incorporation to ensuring you meet federal and provincial regulations. Our services cover essential steps, like obtaining a NUANS report, creating information on Individuals with Significant Control, meeting board member requirements and securing a business number from the Canada Revenue Agency. Our personalized approach ensures efficient business incorporation, helping launch your company in Canada.

Tax Planning and Compliance

We assist with incentives and benefit for your expansion.

Canadian businesses must understand and comply with both federal and provincial tax regulations, including GST/HST registration, filing corporate tax returns, strategic year-end planning, and the application of various credits and deductions. Proper tax planning, such as using loss carryovers, and income splitting can minimize tax liability and ensure compliance with the Income Tax Act and Excise Tax Act. Engaging with a professional accountant can help your business optimize its tax strategy and manage compliance requirements.

Banking and Financial Setup

We establish a robust financial platform for your success in Canada.

Setting up the appropriate banking and financial structure in Canada is critical for business operations. This includes selecting a bank that suits your specific needs, such as retail, manufacturing, services, or tech startup. Opening a dedicated business bank account, complying with financial regulations, and exploring suitable funding options (personal savings, loans, grants) is necessary to achieve long term success. Foreign entrepreneurs need to also ensure they meet Canadian financial regulations. Government programs and grants are available to support various business needs.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

We protect your business with expert legal navigation in Canada.

Canadian businesses must navigate a dual legal system with both federal and provincial laws. Understanding the Canada Business Corporations Act (CBCA), provincial laws governing business organization, and the Investment Canada Act (ICA) is crucial. Additionally, businesses must comply with privacy protection legislation, employment and labor laws, and environmental regulations. Contracts should be drawn up by a lawyer to ensure compliance with commercial regulations.

Ongoing Operations and Support

We power your enduring growth and operational excellence in Canada.

To sustain growth and ensure long-term success, Canadian businesses need ongoing support and must maintain compliance with constantly evolving tax laws and regulations. The Canadian government offers various programs and services to help, along with resources for innovation and digital transformation. Accessing financial support, networking, and regional support is also essential. Inclusive entrepreneurship programs are available to support underrepresented groups.
