Every day, hundreds of new businesses are incorporated in the province of Alberta. Unfortunately, many business owners incorporate their business without knowledge of knowing what certain elements of the incorporation process are or mean. A new business must be incorporated properly the first time around as sometimes if done incorrectly it can cause future issues depending on how the business grows and expands. In addition to an incorporation, most business owners are unaware that it is a requirement to maintain a corporate minute book.
What Is Incorporation?
Alberta incorporation is the formal process of registering your business under the Business Corporations Act of Alberta. It creates a separate legal entity that is distinct from its owners, meaning the business can own assets, enter contracts, and incur liabilities in its own name.
By incorporating, you gain several important advantages:
Limited liability protection — Your personal assets are generally protected from most business debts and legal obligations.
Enhanced credibility — A corporation often appears more professional and trustworthy to clients, lenders, and investors.
Business continuity — Your company can continue to operate even if ownership changes.
Potential tax benefits — Incorporation can open the door to tax deferrals, income splitting, and access to the Small Business Deduction.
Whether you’re a sole proprietor ready to take the next step or launching a brand-new business, incorporation can set the foundation for growth, stability, and long-term success.
Why incorporate your business
Many sole proprietors and new business owners wonder what the benefits are to incorporate. We can discuss all the factors to consider in detail with you virtually or in-person to help you decide what the best option is for your business. Some of the main reasons to incorporate include:
Liability Protection – as an individual or sole proprietor all of the legal liability falls on you if anything were to ever happen. This means that all of your personal assets could be at risk. When you incorporate, the legal liability moved to your business which means that only your business assets may be at risk in the case or a lawsuit.
Tax Planning Opportunities – with an incorporated business all of your income is now being reported within the entity. Corporate tax rates are much lower than personal tax rates. This allows us to determine the most advantageous way to minimize your corporate and personal taxes.
