We Incorporate Etobicoke Businesses the Right Way from Day One
We incorporate businesses in Etobicoke every week: dental professionals in the Kingsway and Royal York corridor, warehouse and logistics operators in the Rexdale and Dixon Road area near Pearson Airport, construction contractors across West Toronto, restaurant owners on Islington and The Queensway, IT consultants working from home in Mimico, New Toronto and Long Branch, e-commerce operators in Humber Bay and real estate investors across the west end. Every incorporation includes a multi-class share structure, complete minute book, CRA registrations and a tax planning conversation that sets the foundation for paying the lowest possible tax from your first dollar of revenue.
The most common mistake Etobicoke business owners make is incorporating after they have already started earning income. A sole proprietor who incorporates 2 years late at $150,000/year in income has already paid $48,000 to $60,000 more in tax than they would have as a corporation. We incorporate you before you earn the first dollar so every dollar flows through the corporation at 12.2% instead of up to 53.53% personal. Our service fee is just $35.

Every Year You Delay Incorporation Costs You Money: At $150,000 income, the annual tax difference is $24,000. Two years as a sole proprietor before incorporating: $48,000 in additional tax you will never recover. Our incorporation service fee is just $35 (government filing fee additional). The cost of not incorporating at $150,000 in income is $24,000 per year. Incorporate before your first dollar of revenue, not after.

10 Smart Incorporation Strategies That Can Save Etobicoke Business Owners Money
1. Incorporate before earning your first dollar to lock in 12.2%
Every dollar earned as a sole proprietor is taxed at your personal rate (up to 53.53% in Ontario). Every dollar earned inside a corporation is taxed at 12.2% under the Small Business Deduction. An Etobicoke dentist earning $260,000 saves $46,800 in the first year alone by incorporating before seeing the first patient. Our service fee is $35 (government filing fee additional).
2. Set up multiple share classes at incorporation to avoid a $15,000 reorganization later
A single-class share structure blocks salary-dividend optimization, LCGE multiplication and investor-ready fundraising. Reorganizing later costs $5,000 to $15,000. Setting up Class A voting common, Class B non-voting common and Class C preferred at incorporation costs $0 extra.
3. Register for HST at incorporation to recover $1,950 on $15,000 in startup costs
Voluntary HST registration before your first purchase allows you to claim ITCs on all startup expenses: dental chairs, warehouse racking, kitchen equipment, software, marketing. An Etobicoke warehouse spending $120,000 on startup racking and forklifts recovers $15,600 in ITCs.
4. Use a salary-dividend split from your first pay period to create RRSP room
Most Etobicoke business owners default to 100% dividends. But dividends create zero RRSP room. A 60/40 salary-dividend split on $150,000 creates $52,800 in RRSP room while keeping the combined tax lower than either salary-only or dividend-only.
5. Incorporate the dental practice as a DPC to save $46,800/year on $260,000 income
Etobicoke dentists must incorporate under the OBCA with a restricted practice clause and obtain RCDSO authorization. The DPC pays 12.2% corporate tax instead of up to 53.53% personal tax. On $260,000 in practice income, the annual savings are $46,800. We handle the full DPC incorporation including the RCDSO application.
6. Claim Immediate Expensing on equipment purchased through the corporation
An Etobicoke warehouse buying $120,000 in racking and forklifts, a dental practice buying $85,000 in chairs and imaging equipment or a restaurant buying $42,000 in kitchen equipment gets the full amount as a year-one deduction. Incorporate before the purchase.
7. Use a section 85 rollover to convert from sole proprietorship tax-free
An Etobicoke logistics operator with $36,000 in equipment who incorporates without a section 85 rollover pays approximately $5,800 in unnecessary tax. The rollover transfers everything to the new corporation at tax cost, deferring the gain until the asset is sold.
8. Issue non-voting shares to your spouse at incorporation to multiply the LCGE
The Lifetime Capital Gains Exemption shelters $1,281,866 per shareholder. Issuing non-voting shares to your spouse at incorporation doubles the exemption to $2,563,732. This costs nothing at incorporation but saves hundreds of thousands on a future sale.
9. Plan for the holdco from incorporation so passive income never erodes the SBD
Passive investment income above $50,000 inside the operating corporation erodes the SBD, costing up to $71,500/year. We discuss the holdco timeline at incorporation and trigger the setup as soon as retained earnings reach $200,000.
10. Bundle incorporation with bookkeeping and get the service fee waived entirely
Etobicoke business owners who sign up for monthly bookkeeping ($100/month) receive incorporation at no service charge (government filing fee only). The bookkeeping includes bank reconciliation, HST filing, monthly financials and the T2 filed FREE every year. Incorporation Services →
