Forestville: a resource economy
Forestville, on the Upper North Shore, relies on forestry, wood processing, fishing, tourism and services to a population spread across a vast territory. Distance is part of the business model.
Remoteness changes the cost structure
A business in a remote region deals with realities major centres ignore: high transport costs, supply delays, difficulty recruiting specialized staff, and often having to do everything yourself for lack of nearby suppliers.
That has a concrete legal consequence. The business holds more equipment, ties up more capital and takes more operational risk than an equivalent business in the city. As a sole proprietor, all of that rests on your personal assets.
A corporation holds the equipment, carries the financing and absorbs bad seasons. It also lets you retain cash taxed at small-business rates during good years, a valuable cushion in a cyclical resource economy.
Fully online incorporation
No travel is required. Our pricing includes government fees. See our online incorporation guide or start your incorporation.

Provincial or federal for a Forestville business?
A business operating on the North Shore does not need the federal regime. Provincial is simpler and cheaper to maintain year after year.
Forestry contracts and their requirements
Large buyers in the forestry sector require an incorporated entity, insurance at prescribed levels, a health and safety record and sometimes certification. A sole proprietorship is screened out at the qualification stage.
Your obligations once incorporated
Annual updating declaration, a current minute book, a separate corporate tax return and resolutions recording major decisions.
