Deux-Montagnes: many very small businesses
Deux-Montagnes is a residential town well served by commuter rail, with a human-scale commercial downtown. Its economy rests largely on very small businesses: professional services, skilled trades, independent shops, esthetics, maintenance, private lessons and self-employment in all its forms.
At that scale, one precise question dominates: when do you actually need to structure?
The $30,000 threshold is misunderstood
Many people believe you must incorporate once you pass $30,000 in revenue. That is false, and the confusion comes from mixing up two distinct things.
The $30,000 threshold concerns sales taxes. Below it, you are generally a small supplier and need not collect GST and QST. Above it, registration becomes mandatory. That threshold has nothing to do with legal form: sole proprietorships and corporations alike must comply.
The decision to incorporate answers other criteria: your risk exposure, whether you leave profits in the business, the presence of a partner, and your long-term intentions. You can be incorporated with $20,000 in revenue, or remain self-employed with $90,000.

Three questions more useful than revenue
First, what happens if a client sues you? If the answer puts your home at stake, a corporation is justified. Second, do you withdraw everything you earn? If so, the tax advantage is small; if not, it becomes real. Third, are you alone? With partners, a corporation is almost always the right answer.
Provincial or federal for a small business?
For a local clientele, the Quebec provincial regime is simpler and cheaper to maintain. It is the default choice for a small service business.
Your obligations once incorporated
Annual updating declaration, a current minute book, a separate corporate tax return and resolutions recording major decisions. These are light, but they exist: that is the real cost of the structure.
Common questions from Deux-Montagnes entrepreneurs
I earn $40,000. Must I incorporate? Not necessarily. You must, however, register for sales taxes. Incorporating depends mainly on your risk and your plans.
Can I incorporate and stay part-time? Yes. Nothing requires full-time work to own a corporation.
