Beaconsfield: a community of executives and professionals
Beaconsfield is an established West Island residential area, with limited commercial activity but a high concentration of executives, professionals and active retirees. Many launch a consulting practice there after a corporate career.
Moving from employment to consulting
Leaving a management role to offer services raises three immediate questions. Can your former employer become your client, and on what terms? Did your employment contract include a non-compete or non-solicitation clause still in force? And when does structure become useful?
On that last point, the answer is often: before the first mandate. Contracting in a corporation's name from the start avoids transferring contracts later and positions you better with corporate clients.
On restrictive clauses, verification is essential before prospecting. Not all are valid, but those that are can genuinely limit your activity for a period.

Provincial or federal for a Beaconsfield consultant?
For a consulting practice serving Quebec or Canadian clients remotely, the provincial regime fits.
One client calls for particular care
If your former employer becomes your sole client, on terms close to employment, your corporation's tax treatment can be questioned. Diversifying early and contracting on deliverables rather than supervised hours reduces that risk.
Your obligations once incorporated
Annual updating declaration, a current minute book, a separate corporate tax return and resolutions recording major decisions.
Common questions from Beaconsfield entrepreneurs
Is my non-compete valid? It depends on scope, duration and territory. An overly broad clause can be set aside, but that is assessed case by case.
