  • It depends on your goals. Common options include sole proprietorships, partnerships, and corporations. We’ll help you choose the right structure based on your liability exposure, tax considerations, ownership plans, and long-term growth strategy.

  • In a share sale, the buyer purchases your ownership in the company. In an asset sale, they buy specific assets (like equipment, contracts, etc.). Each has legal and tax consequences. We’ll walk you through both options and structure the deal in your best interest.

  • Yes — many of our clients keep us on as their go-to legal resource. Whether you need help reviewing a contract, handling a dispute, or making a strategic decision, we’re here to support your business as it grows.

  • It depends on your goals. Sole proprietorships are easier to set up but offer no liability protection. Incorporating separates your personal assets from your business, offers potential tax advantages, and can enhance your credibility. We’ll help you choose the structure that makes the most sense for your needs.

  • Technically, no — but it’s strongly recommended. Incorporation involves more than just filing forms. A lawyer ensures you’re structured properly, issues shares correctly, sets up your minute book, and drafts essential documents like resolutions and agreements.

  • It varies depending on whether you incorporate provincially or federally, and what additional documents you need (like shareholder agreements). We offer flat-fee packages for new business setup — reach out for a quote tailored to your needs.
