Hull: the public sector as first client

Hull concentrates a significant share of the capital region's federal offices, surrounded by a professional services economy: management consulting, IT, translation, communications, training, architecture. A considerable share of these businesses bill departments and agencies.

Selling to government requires an entity

Federal procurement runs on formal processes: registration in procurement systems, an enterprise number, attestations, sometimes security clearance for the company and its personnel. Those mechanisms address incorporated entities.

Add standardized contract terms, barely negotiable, with liability and audit clauses. Signing such contracts personally directly exposes your assets.

Online incorporation, reviewed by lawyers

Our pricing includes government fees. See our online incorporation guide or start your incorporation.

Provincial or federal for a Hull business?

Contrary to a widespread belief, federal incorporation is not required to win federal contracts. Place of incorporation is not an eligibility criterion. A Quebec corporation bids on the same terms.

Working on the Ontario side

If your business opens an Ottawa office or places a permanent representative there, extra-provincial registration in Ontario becomes necessary. Billing from Hull without physical presence generally does not trigger that obligation.

Your obligations once incorporated

Annual updating declaration, a current minute book, a separate corporate tax return and resolutions recording major decisions.

Common questions from Hull entrepreneurs

Do I need a security clearance? It depends on the contracts targeted. It is requested of the company and sometimes of personnel, which assumes an incorporated entity.
