Lac-Mégantic: a town that rebuilt itself

Lac-Mégantic combines an industrial base, a rebuilt downtown, tourism tied to the lake and the dark sky reserve, and local services. Its business community has a sharp awareness of what an unpredictable event can do to a company.

What a corporation protects, and what insurance covers

These are two distinct protections often confused. A corporation shields your personal assets from the business's debts and claims. It replaces no insurance and compensates no loss.

Insurance compensates damage suffered. Three coverages deserve particular attention for an SME: property, civil liability, and above all business interruption, which replaces lost revenue while you cannot operate. That last one is frequently neglected even though it often determines whether a business survives a loss.

The two complement each other: insurance covers the loss, the corporation prevents an unpaid balance or excess claim from turning against you.

Provincial or federal for a Lac-Mégantic business?

For a regional clientele, the provincial regime fits. A manufacturer exporting to the United States or Ontario may examine federal for name protection.

Document before, not after

An up-to-date inventory, photos of premises and equipment, and a copy of key documents kept off site are worth a great deal at claim time. These are simple measures costing an hour a year.

Your obligations once incorporated

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

Common questions from Lac-Mégantic entrepreneurs

Does a corporation remove the need for insurance? No, absolutely not. It protects your personal assets; it compensates no loss suffered by the business.
