Business incorporation and registration in Hamilton
Starting a business or moving from sole proprietor to corporation involves more than filing articles. Listed accountants help you choose the right structure, incorporate in Ontario or federally, and register your business with the CRA so you are ready to invoice, hire and file from day one.
From Ancaster, Dundas and Stoney Creek to Westdale and Waterdown, we serve owners and households who want a responsive accounting partner without big-city fees or complexity.
After incorporation you receive your Certificate of Incorporation and Articles of Incorporation, then the setup that follows: a corporate bookkeeping system, a business bank account checklist, and the CRA accounts the business needs.
If you are a professional such as a dentist or physician, a professional corporation has its own rules and regulator requirements, and your accountant can coordinate them with your tax planning.

Business incorporation and registration in Hamilton: FAQ
Quick answers to what people ask us most.
Do you offer business incorporation and registration in Hamilton?
Yes. We provide business incorporation and registration to individuals and businesses in Hamilton and Hamilton. You can meet with us by phone or video and share documents securely online. Call (905) 798-8690 (Greater Toronto Area) or (647) 527-4970 (Mississauga, Vaughan & Pickering) to get started.
Should I incorporate in Ontario or federally?
An Ontario corporation is registered in the province and is the usual choice for businesses that operate mainly in Ontario. A federal corporation gives national name protection but must also register in each province where it operates. Your accountant can recommend the better fit for your plans.
How long does incorporation take?
Once the corporate name is approved and the details are ready, an Ontario or federal incorporation is usually completed within a few business days. Professional corporations can take longer because the regulator may need to approve the name or issue a certificate first.
Do I need to register for GST/HST and payroll after incorporating?
You must register for GST/HST once your taxable revenue passes $30,000, and you can register earlier. A payroll account is required as soon as you pay employees or yourself a salary. Your accountant can open these CRA accounts for you.
What is the difference between registering a business name and incorporating?
Registering a business name makes you a sole proprietor or partnership operating under that name, with no separate legal entity. Incorporating creates a separate legal corporation, which can limit your personal liability and open up tax planning options.
How much does business incorporation and registration cost in Hamilton?
Fees depend on the scope and complexity of your situation. After a free consultation we give you a clear quote before any work begins.
