Incorporating a business corporation

The incorporation of a corporation, also known as a “company”, consists in creating a company to run your business with a view to generating a profit for its shareholders. The company becomes a legal entity in its own right, separate from its founder(s). We take care of the entire incorporation process, so that your structure is tailored to your needs.
The incorporation of a corporation, also known as a “company”, consists in creating a company to run your business with a view to generating a profit for its shareholders. The company becomes a legal entity in its own right, separate from its founder(s). We take care of the entire incorporation process, so that your structure is tailored to your needs.  

 

A joint-stock company involves three main categories of players: shareholders, directors and officers. Shareholders (often the founders) hold shares in the company, giving them rights such as the right to vote on certain decisions or to receive dividends. The directors, elected by the shareholders, make up the Board of Directors (BOD), which takes the major decisions in the conduct of the company’s business. Officers are appointed by the directors to perform day-to-day management functions. Usually for a start-up company, one person will combine all these roles, although this is not mandatory.  

 

Incorporation limits your economic and legal risks, since your company’s assets will be separate from your personal assets. What’s more, this structure gives you greater financing capacity, the ability to add partners, and the potential to benefit from tax advantages. Incorporation of your joint-stock company can be either provincial or federal.

    Multiple Class Share Capital *

    Lexstart constitutes companies with a standard share capital of 2 categories (A and B), with an issuance of ordinary shares (A) for the founders in order to give them the same rights to vote, a right to receive dividends and a right to the the assets of the company (the remainder). This share capital also offers the possibility of issuing Class B shares (without voting rights).
    In order to benefit from greater flexibility regarding the declaration of dividends, the possibility of issuing stock options or bringing in investors, it is possible to opt for a Multiple Class Share Capital.

    Essential Shareholders’ Agreement *

    This agreement is ideal for startups looking to establish clear guidelines from the start, defining rights and responsibilities in a balanced manner. It also incorporates procedures for dispute resolution, ensuring calm and consistent management.

    It is essential to recognize that this agreement is not a one-size-fits-all solution for every situation. It may prove inadequate for complex shareholding structures or in the case of external capital investment. For these circumstances, a customized agreement would be more appropriate.

    Intellectual Property transfer agreement *

    Have you or someone else created a technology, a logo, a website, or invented your company name? You intend to use any of these creations with your company? It is recommended to assign the intellectual property on these creations to your company, that will allow it to use these creations without hassle and that it becomes one of its assets.

    GST/QST registration *

    With Lexstart, GST/QST registration becomes simple and straightforward. We assist you in getting your business registered quickly and without complications. (Only for Québec)

    Express incorporation *

    The normal incorporation time is approximately 5 business days. If you choose the express option, we will incorporate your structure within 2 business days of receiving your completed form.
