What I can handle

The straightforward launch work.

The package depends on whether you only need filing support or want the domain, email, phone, and initial site handled together.

Filing support

Gather the required information, prepare a standard filing, submit through the appropriate portal, and organise the resulting records.

Business essentials

Domain registration, business email, phone setup, account-ownership checklist, and a clear record of recurring costs.

Starter presence

A basic website and contact setup so the new business can be found, understood, and reached.

The boundary

Filing support is not legal or tax advice.

A standard solo-owner filing can be administrative. Choosing share classes, allocating ownership, drafting shareholder agreements, assessing liability, or planning taxes is professional advice.

If your situation involves partners, investors, complex ownership, regulated work, or meaningful liability, I will recommend that you speak to a lawyer or accountant before filing.

I will not tell you that provincial or federal incorporation is “the right call” based on a paragraph in a form. The correct choice depends on facts outside a web developer's remit.

How quickly is an online filing processed?

Ontario lists online incorporation as immediate. Corporations Canada lists online federal incorporation as one day. Name issues, missing information, extra review, or related setup can add time.

Do I need a lawyer?

Not every standard filing requires one. Partners, custom share structures, investor plans, shareholder agreements, regulated activity, or liability concerns are good reasons to get legal advice before filing.

Do I need to register for HST immediately?

Not always. Registration depends on your taxable supplies and circumstances. CRA rules and voluntary-registration tradeoffs should be checked with the CRA or an accountant rather than reduced to one sales-page sentence.

Starting something?

Tell me the jurisdiction, owners, and what you need after filing.

I will tell you whether the job is straightforward, what the current fees are, and where a professional opinion is needed.
