Business Services
Start a business & keep it in good standing.
Register a business
Pick the option that fits — or let us help you choose.
Incorporate a business
When you incorporate your business:
- Your business name is protected, boosting your credibility.
- It limits the personal liability of the business owner.
- It can qualify for a lower tax rate.
Register a trade name
When you register a trade name:
- You get a name under which you can conduct your business.
- Simple to set up and manage, with a low setup fee.
- You make all the decisions and keep all the profits.
Register a partnership
When you register a partnership:
- You operate a business with partners, sharing profits and liabilities.
- Your partners are actively involved in the business.
- It is less expensive to set up and manage than a corporation.
Not sure which one? Pick the column where any of the points apply to you.
Corporation
Choose incorporation if:
- Limited liability is important.
- Strong brand-name protection & credibility is important.
- You wish to pay yourself by dividends instead of salary.
Sole Proprietorship / Trade Name
Choose a trade name if:
- Simple, quick and low-cost registration is required.
- You operate a single-owner local business with full decision making.
- You want to apply business expenses & losses to personal income.
Partnership
Choose a partnership if:
- Multiple owners want a low-cost start-up option instead of incorporation.
- Owners or partners directly run the business and share profits and liabilities.
- You want a “pass through” entity — income and losses flow directly to the partners.
