Amqui: forestry at the heart of the valley
Amqui is the service centre for the Matapédia valley, a region built around forestry, wood processing, agriculture and river tourism. A network of specialized companies works there as subcontractors: harvesting, skidding, log transport, forest road work, heavy mechanics.
A capital-intensive activity
Forestry subcontracting requires costly equipment: harvesters, forwarders, trucks. A contractor takes on heavy debt to acquire that machinery, often on the strength of a supply contract lasting a few years.
That imbalance between a long financial commitment and a shorter contract creates real risk. If the contract is not renewed or volumes drop, the debt remains. As a sole proprietor, it follows you personally. In a corporation, it belongs to the business, subject to guarantees you signed.
Add accident risk, particularly high in this sector, with consequences often exceeding basic coverage.
Online incorporation, no travel required
Our pricing includes government fees. See our online incorporation guide or start your incorporation.

Provincial or federal for an Amqui business?
For work in Quebec, the provincial regime fits. Federal becomes relevant with regular activity in New Brunswick, which happens in the valley.
Negotiating your personal guarantees
A lender will almost always require your personal guarantee to finance machinery. That is normal, but everything is negotiable: capped amount, limited duration, release after a period of good payments. An unlimited guarantee cancels much of the protection you sought.
Your obligations once incorporated
Annual updating declaration, a current minute book, a separate corporate tax return and resolutions recording major decisions.
Common questions from Amqui entrepreneurs
My equipment is already in my name. Can I transfer it? Yes, generally through a tax rollover to avoid immediate tax, with an accountant's help.
