Roberval: a service hub on the lake
Roberval plays an administrative and service role for the western Lac-Saint-Jean, with health care, education, retail, forestry and lake-based tourism. Businesses there are mostly small and exposed to regional cycles.
One reality deserves frank discussion: not every business succeeds, and how you are structured changes what happens then.
The difference between a failing business and you
If a sole proprietorship can no longer pay its debts, there is no separation: they are your debts. Creditors can seize your personal property, and a personal bankruptcy affects your credit for years.
A corporation that becomes insolvent has other options. It can negotiate with creditors, file a proposal to restructure debts while continuing to operate, or wind down in an orderly way. In most cases, those events affect the corporation, not you.
Two important exceptions remain: debts you personally guaranteed, and certain director liabilities, notably source deductions and unpaid wages. One more reason never to let those specific obligations accumulate.
Online incorporation, no travel required
Our pricing includes government fees. See our online incorporation guide or start your incorporation.
By opening a NBC business account.
Acting early changes the options
A business that seeks advice at the first signs of difficulty has far more options than one that waits for seizure. A licensed insolvency trustee can explain available paths, several of which allow operations to continue.
Provincial or federal for a Roberval business?
For a regional clientele, the provincial regime fits. Note that insolvency law is federal and applies the same way to both regimes.
Your obligations once incorporated
Annual updating declaration, a current minute book, a separate corporate tax return and resolutions recording major decisions.
Common questions from Roberval entrepreneurs
Can I start a new business after a failure? Generally yes. That is in fact one advantage of a properly used corporate structure.
Do my personal guarantees disappear? No. They survive the corporation's closure, which is why limiting and negotiating them matters.
