Incorporation Services in Etobicoke for $35, Filed by a CPA Firm
We prepare and file your Etobicoke incorporation for $35.00, HST included, and the registry fee appears separately at cost. The shares and the board are reviewed by a Chartered Professional Accountant before submission.
An Etobicoke business pays the same $300.00 registry fee as any other Ontario business, so location changes nothing about the cost. Our side is $35.00 with the HST already inside it. Where money is actually made or lost is the structure.
Etobicoke changes which questions matter most. Pearson sits on the doorstep, so freight, customs and import accounts come up constantly. A board with a director living outside Canada rules out a federal filing. A workshop with staff needs WSIB settled on day one.
Affordable Incorporation in Etobicoke for $35
We file for Etobicoke owners in Rexdale, Thistletown, Kipling, Islington Village, Richview, Eatonville, Markland Wood, The Queensway, Mimico, New Toronto and Long Branch. Etobicoke is part of the City of Toronto, so an Ontario corporation needs nothing further registered.
Logistics operators, importers, trades and workshops make up most of the filings here. Each changes a different clause in the articles, which is why the structure is talked through rather than assumed.
Ontario or federal leads, and the answer often turns on who sits on the board rather than on where the customers are.

Our Services for Etobicoke Businesses
Our professional fees include HST. Government fees are separate, itemised and charged at cost with no mark-up.
Full-Service Incorporation Support for Etobicoke Businesses
The same seven services in full detail, so nothing about the filing is a surprise once you have ordered it.
NUANS Name Search Report in Etobicoke
- Ontario takes an Ontario-biased report only. The same search house will sell a Canada-biased one, and the registry will refuse it.
- A surname paired with one trade word is the classic collision, so three candidates are tested before a report is paid for.
- Corporate names, registered business names and trademarks on file all show up in the results.
- A granted name is not an owned name. Trademark rights come from the Trademarks Act and from use in the market.
- Ninety days and the report is spent. File after that and the search is bought twice.
Incorporation Service in Etobicoke
- The articles decide which classes exist, how many directors are permitted and whether transfers are restricted.
- A range beats a fixed number, because a second or third director can then join without an amendment.
- By-law number one, the opening resolutions and the share subscriptions are drawn with the filing, not months later.
- A company key comes with the Ontario certificate, and no later filing can be made against the record without it.
- Online, the certificate issues on submission. Posted, the ministry allows 15 business days.
Registered Office Address Service in Etobicoke
- Ontario needs a real address in the province, and ministry notice ON00224E excludes a post office box on its own.
- The address filed on the articles is public immediately and stays searchable after it is replaced.
- A move goes in as a notice of change, which the registry records free of charge.
- Registry and Canada Revenue Agency post is taken in at the Etobicoke office and sent on to you.
- The address service fee is published on our pricing page with HST already inside it.
Payroll Service in Etobicoke
- The RP account is attached to the business number before the first wage is paid.
- Regular remitters pay by the 15th of the month after the pay period.
- T4 slips and the summary go in by the last day of February.
- Salary creates RRSP room and CPP credits where a dividend creates neither, so the split is chosen on purpose.
- Construction work triggers compulsory WSIB coverage, payroll or no payroll.
One Window Service for Corporation in Etobicoke
- One person owns the articles, the business number and every account that follows.
- RC, RT and RP are opened in the order the business genuinely needs them.
- HST registration is compulsory above $30,000 of taxable supplies across four consecutive calendar quarters.
- The first year end is chosen inside 53 weeks, and Canada Revenue Agency approval is needed to move it later.
- The minute book, the share registers and the transparency register are built at the start rather than reconstructed under pressure.
Corporate Annual Filing in Etobicoke
- Ontario's Annual Return falls six months after the year end and costs nothing.
- The federal annual return falls within 60 days of the anniversary date and costs $12.00 online.
- An annual return is corporate law and goes to the registry. A T2 is tax and goes to Canada Revenue Agency. One never covers the other.
- Enough missed returns and the registry dissolves the corporation, which must then be revived before trading again.
- Since 1 January 2023 Ontario has required a register of individuals with significant control, kept at the corporation rather than filed.
Corporate Tax Filing in Etobicoke
- The T2 goes in six months after the year end with GIFI statements attached.
- Tax is paid two months after the year end, or three where the small business deduction applies.
- Within the $500,000 business limit, combined Ontario tax on active business income is 12.2 percent.
- Machinery, vehicles and fit-out are written down on Schedule 8, not expensed in the year of purchase.
- Fees open at $300.00 with HST inside, and the figure is confirmed in writing before any work starts.
What We Handle on a Etobicoke Incorporation
Ten questions decide what the corporation costs to run. All ten are answered before the articles are drafted.
Ontario or federal
- Federal holds the name nationally.
- Ontario suffices for provincial trade.
- Without a resident Canadian director, federal is out.
- A federal corporation still files Ontario's Initial Return.
Crossing a provincial line
- Operating in another province means registering there.
- A federal name is recognised everywhere in Canada.
- An Ontario name has no force elsewhere.
- Freight and distribution cross lines most often.
Named or numbered
- A numbered company needs no search.
- A named company needs the report first.
- A trading name can sit above a number.
- Signage on a unit argues for a name.
Share classes
- How many classes belong in the articles now.
- Votes separated from value where that earns something.
- A preferred class ready for a freeze.
- A transfer restriction written in at the outset.
Who holds the shares
- Whether a spouse should hold shares at all.
- The excluded business test in section 120.4 of the Income Tax Act.
- A trust while the children are minors.
- The lifetime capital gains exemption on a sale.
Directors
- One director is enough in Ontario.
- Ontario's residency rule went on 5 July 2021.
- A quarter of a federal board must be resident Canadian.
- Consent to act precedes any valid appointment.
The registered office
- A physical Ontario address, not a box.
- Public, and searchable after any change.
- A unit, a yard or a workshop can serve.
- Our Etobicoke office is available instead.
The Initial Return
- Due 60 days from incorporation in Ontario.
- Mandated by the Corporations Information Act.
- The registry charges $0.00 to file it.
- Directors and officers are reported, not shareholders.
Minute book and registers
- The OBCA requires the records to be kept and produced.
- Shares, directors, officers and resolutions go inside.
- The transparency register is held with it.
- Any buyer or lender asks to see it.
Business number, HST and the year end
- The business number comes after the certificate.
- HST starts at $30,000 of taxable supplies.
- The first year end sits inside 53 weeks.
- No instalments below $3,000 of tax owing.

Case Studies
Three Etobicoke files, each showing what the owner had in mind and what changed before the registry saw anything.
Residency Test Redirected a Pearson Freight Filing
Problem
A freight forwarder near Pearson wanted a federal corporation, with both proposed directors living outside Canada.
Solution
The board failed the resident Canadian test in section 105(3) of the Canada Business Corporations Act, so the filing went to Ontario instead, where no residency rule applies. The name was cleared and the certificate issued the same day.
Results
- Numbered Ontario corporation filed at $335.00
- Residency problem identified before filing
- Certificate issued the same business day
Year End Timed Around Equipment in Rexdale
Problem
A small manufacturer in Rexdale was about to buy $180,000 of equipment in the same month it planned to incorporate.
Solution
The year end was set so the equipment lands in the first fiscal period and the capital cost allowance claim is useful. Three share classes were authorised at the same registry fee.
Results
- Equipment landed inside the first fiscal period
- Three classes authorised at no extra registry cost
- Capital cost allowance claimed in year one
Payroll and WSIB Opened for a Kipling Auto Shop
Problem
An auto repair shop off Kipling had taken on two mechanics before any CRA account existed and with no WSIB account open.
Solution
The RP account was opened ahead of the first pay run and the WSIB registration was completed in the same week. HST was registered voluntarily so the tax on parts and tooling became recoverable.
Results
- RP account live before the first pay run
- WSIB registration completed the same week
- HST on parts and tooling recoverable
No one at the registry reads your articles against your business. The form is checked for completeness, endorsed, and every consequence is left with you.
Where the work actually goes
Selling only inside Ontario makes an Ontario filing the sensible answer at $300.00. Selling across provinces, or wanting the name held nationally, points federal at $200.00, with $80.00 to register extra-provincially in Ontario.
Residency on the board
Section 105(3) of the Canada Business Corporations Act requires a quarter of a federal board to be resident Canadians, and at least one director where there are fewer than four. Ontario has no such rule.
Classes authorised for later
One class and three classes cost the same to authorise. Doing it at the start avoids a $200.00 amendment on the day a partner, a spouse or a holding company arrives.
Shareholdings tested
Shares in the hands of a spouse or an adult child are tested under section 120.4 of the Income Tax Act. The rate applied to a dividend depends on the facts, so this is settled before any share is issued.
Office, year end and HST
An Ontario address that physically exists is required, and ministry notice ON00224E rules out a post office box used alone. The address is public and remains searchable after a change.
Filed, then diarised
Filed online, the Ontario Business Registry processes the articles on submission and the certificate issues that day. Posted articles are allowed 15 business days.
