This is great! I've been thinking about changing my business from sole proprietor to incorporated but been dreading the paperwork. This definitely makes it palatable, so THANK YOU!

[@GriffinMilks]

Glad it was helpful!

[@andyprokopchuk]

This is awesome! I will use this video in the Entrepreneur 20 class I teach. I've already used so many of your videos in my financial literacy class.

[@GriffinMilks]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@cordellfarmer8220]

I was lucky I came back to this video I began starting incorporating and realized I incorporate for ontario and not canada. I was so lucky I never clicked purchase yet! This video is a life save now I'm in federal doing it properly

[@MrArorano1]

Hi, thank you for the helpful video - it provided great insights. I’m in the process of incorporating under my name, but I’m considering whether a sole proprietorship might be a better option. Given that I’m not expecting any sales orders in the first 12-18 months, I’m wondering if you’d recommend starting as a sole proprietor instead. I’d appreciate your advice on the best approach in this situation.

Hi Griffin, Thank you so much for the amazing and productive videos. I have been learning a lot from them. I live in Alberta and have opened an account on Amazon US and want to do wholesale FBA. I have a couple of questions. * Does corporation only help us in taxation or also in buying products from product suppliers? As I heard they only sell their products to a business/corporation not individuals. * I can’t provide EIN as a Canadian, what should I use in W8 tax form? * What bank do you suggest for cross border banking? Please make a step by step video on how to contact and buy products from suppliers. Thank you Griffin!

[@hikmatullahshahidi8828]

hey samir, how is your amazon business going?

[@SophieAnnaston]

Super helpful!!

[@GriffinMilks]

[@namunuhimasa8082]

Thank you for the details. I have 2 questions. 1. Can I have a company name later down the line after registering as a basic incorporation? What is the process? 2. Also, if my online business is currently having a name, how can I link the name with the basic company name which is a number. Thank you

[@GriffinMilks]

1. Yes you can. You can pay a fee for a change request. 2. If you already have a company name, you can choose to « do business as » that name on behalf of the numbered company (same company under the hood)

[@danielleharrison4941]

This was very helpful, thank you. How do I define how many Class A and Class B shares to issue, and who holds them?

[@beingintrinsic]

I am BLOWN AWAY by the quality of your AMAZING video. Subscribed! Need to know if you can add DBAs to the Simple Inc option vs the Custom? Example: if my leadership education training company (online) business that has electronic products and may in a year buy a retreat property in Europe, is complex enough to warrant incorporating the Custom method?

[@jolettac6685]

I read on ownr website that a provincial corp can still do business anywhere in CA and also internationally. There are no restrictions with who they can do business with.

[@note2020]

I guess a provincial corp can not receive federal loan.

[@rosieanriversmommala9782]

Thank you! I went to the wrong place and it was so frustrating - business registered :)

Hi G. I im going through the steps with the video and am so happy it's easy to follow. Question: what if I change the paid name from my initial name to an updated one because the name is already a website in another country. i don't want to mix them up.

[@atial8831]

Thank you for the great video. Can you make a video on how to remit GST/HST for first-timer filing GST/HST?

I’ll consider it!

How many days before receiving the Certificate of Incorporation?

[@MukulDewangan-g9v]

It doesn't make sense to incorporate federally unless you live in Ontario. For any other province you need to incorporate provincially even if you incorporated federally and have to pay for both. So I recommend one incorporate provincially first then if you want to expand look into incorporating federally.

[@ashleymu8852]

I live in bc and I registered under federal....do I need register under BC again?

[@dennisl7659]

Im planning to create a corporation, my co founder living in California. Is there any specific steps i should be taking when registering? Im the primary and we agreed to operate in canada (federal)

[@ravneetkaurdhanoa5922]

Hi, I was struggling to find an easy video and stumbled upon yours. It's super helpful but I've a doubt regarding Director of the company - a resident Canadian. Since, 2021 people who do not have permanent residency or citizenship can still Incorporate. In that case, if we say 'No' it does not allow me to go to the next page. Should I say 'Yes'? Please help.

[@GriffinMilks]

I'm not 100% sure. I would pay a CPA or tax lawyer an hour of their time to get the correct answer

[@brodiepellerin5585]

[@user-bn5bk4od9g]

Once you incorporate, I hear you have to have your accounts balanced and might need more accounting services to keep up with book keeping. Is that true?

[@GriffinMilks]

Yes, you have additional accounting requirements with a corporation

[@user-bn5bk4od9g]

Hey also, my wife and I own a clinic. Our accountant said to maybe incorporate each other separately to save more on taxes than having just one corporation . Have you heard of this ?

[@andresfonseca9466]

where do I choose a provincial corporation? or this is only for federal?

Is it a must to hire a accountant?

[@mo2k2]

how many income streams can i have coming into one business account. lets say i have 2 ecom stores and a marketing agency, can i have income come in from each of them into one corporation or should i set up multiple corporations for each?

[@GriffinMilks]

You can in theory. Totally depends on the goal of your corporations though and their structure.

[@eliasbara5350]

Should I open a business bank account, whats could help me with?, and does this way make me get a certificate of incorporation or business registration license to verify my business on facebook ads manager?

[@GriffinMilks]

If you have an active corp, you need a business bank account, yes.

[@bhartibharti3274]

Hi griffin thanks for the useful video I am not sure about my case I am a home baker I want to incorporate my bussiness its a home based . How do I pay taxes on it? Whats the tax scenerio in my case I am not getting much order due to recession I am pretty confused about everything

[@GriffinMilks]

You’re not obligated to incorporate if it’s a very small business. You can run it as a sole proprietorship and report income on your personal tax return.

[@nimairkajani]

Hi , can I incorporate my business as a student ? If yes can you tell me how can we do it

[@GriffinMilks]

As long as you're over 18, yes you can.

[@visionaire95]

Is this for a provincial corporation?

[@sukantsharma7962]

I'm confused with the term "Canadian Resident"? I'm on work permit living in canada for more than a year so can I be canadian resident & open corporation?

[@GriffinMilks]

Yes. You’re a resident. Not necessarily a citizen, but a resident

[@aaronhaynez1014]

If my business is in person only in one province but I want to run virtual services worldwide, does it still work to only have provincial corporation

[@GriffinMilks]

Yes, that's irrelevant

[@garriedhillon8515]

hi griffin, when i try to incorporate business i face error when adding director that it should be 25% canadian . i am on work permit so what can i do ?

[@GriffinMilks]

I’m not sure. Contact Corporations Canada with a question like this.

If I incorporate my business does that automatically trademark my business name?

No it does not

[@georgealbertacanadaeh1038]

No, everyone pays the same tax in Canada! Does not matter if you are self-employed sole proprietorship or a registered corporation! The only difference is if incorporated you won't be sued personally and lose personal items. The Canadian Government taxes everyone at the same rate! George Nylan, Accountant

[@PurityPaintingINC]

The corporation pays less tax. You, as an individual, pay the same tax at 53%. Which is literal robbery. But you can claim less as an individual

[@BlackGoku-e3k]

But with a corporation I can add my car as a asset of the company and pay less yax
