How it works
Three steps — we handle the rest
1
Fill in your private link
We send you a form link (Chinese / English): company basics, name, shareholders, directors, registered office, business & tax, services and price, then review.
PDF copy as soon as you submit
2
We review, search, file
We check the details and confirm services and price with you; named companies get a Nuans search first, then we file.
Numbered companies file directly
3
Receive your documents
Your certificate and articles, plus each next step — who handles it and when.

Not-for-profits (NPOs) tooOntario (ONCA, at least 3 directors) or federal (CNCA); no shares, same price as a company. We then walk you through the NPO steps — by-law, first members’ meeting, yearly T2 / T1044.
Not sure which? Ask us first — we generally recommend Ontario or federal.
After incorporation
After incorporation: what we do, what you do
When registration is done, we send a “completed” email listing each next step, who handles it and how long it takes — with separate versions for BC companies and not-for-profits.
Within 1–2 business days
Required for Ontario corporations after incorporation; we file it and let you know.
ON about 2–3 days · federal 1–2 days
Ontario BN letters are mailed to the registered office — we can look it up online if urgent; federal BNs are issued by the government and passed on to you.
Usually 1–2 weeks
Opened per the boxes you ticked — no extra charge when opened at incorporation; HST registration is generally required above $30,000 in annual sales.
At your convenience
Directors bring the certificate, articles and personal ID to the bank; requirements vary, so check the bank’s list first.
Every year
