Starting a new business is an incredibly exciting venture, but it involves a lot of paperwork and numerous legal formalities. To ensure your fledgling business is set up correctly, it’s crucial to work with an experienced Chartered Professional Accountant during the registration and incorporation process. An accountant can advise you on whether you should operate as a sole proprietor, partnership, or incorporation and educate you about your various tax obligations as a business owner. We can also assist with the following tasks:
Selecting the correct structure for your business, planning for tax season, and creating a budget ahead of time will ensure you generate maximum profits, avoid audits, and invest your money wisely. Better still, working with a Chartered Professional Accountant will allow you to use your time more efficiently, so you can focus on achieving your goals.
Though not all businesses incorporate initially, incorporation is typically the best long-term business strategy. Once your business experiences significant growth and you begin employing staff, we strongly recommend incorporating for the following reasons:
You’ll reduce your liability. In a sole proprietorship or partnership, the business owner is responsible for all of the company’s debts. In a corporation, he or she is only responsible for his or her direct investments into the business. As such, incorporation can protect your personal assets should your business become insolvent.
You’ll secure your company’s future. Incorporated businesses can continue to operate even if the original owner passes away or leaves the business. Ownership of the business can easily be transferred to someone else.
You’ll have better financing options. Corporations typically have an easier time finding investors and borrowing money from financial institutions. They can also sell shares to generate equity financing.
You’ll save money on your taxes. In Canada, the income tax rate for corporations is significantly lower than the personal income tax rate. By incorporating your business, you’ll reduce the amount you must spend on your annual income taxes and free up additional revenue to invest in growing your business. Depending on the nature of your business, you may also be able to divide revenue between family members, further reducing the amount of tax you must pay.
You’ll reduce your liability. In a sole proprietorship or partnership, the business owner is responsible for all of the company’s debts. In a corporation, he or she is only responsible for his or her direct investments into the business. As such, incorporation can protect your personal assets should your business become insolvent.
As a new business owner, you must register your business with the CRA; failing to do so may violate provincial or federal regulations and create unnecessary tax complications. Our Chartered Professional Accountants can help you register your business number, create your payroll account, and complete your GST/HST registration with the CRA accurately and efficiently.
