We Incorporate Brampton Businesses the Right Way from Day One
We incorporate businesses in Brampton every week: trucking company owners on the Goreway and Steeles corridor, construction contractors along Hwy 410, food processing operators in Bramalea, restaurant owners on Queen Street and Main Street, logistics companies near Pearson Airport, IT consultants working from home in Springdale and Heart Lake and real estate investors across Peel Region. 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 Brampton 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.

We incorporated federally ($35 service fee + $273 government filing), set up 3 share classes, registered for HST, payroll and the import/export account (cross-border US loads), implemented a 55/45 salary-dividend split and claimed Immediate Expensing on 2 trucks ($320,000). Annual tax savings from incorporation: $32,600. RRSP room created: $38,500. The federal incorporation was critical because the trucks operate across Ontario, Quebec and into the US.

We incorporated in Ontario ($335), transferred operations to the corporation, set up payroll for 6 crew members and the owner's salary, established 3 share classes with non-voting shares for the spouse and registered for WSIB. Annual savings: $48,200. The T5018 reporting obligation for subcontractors was set up from day one to avoid CRA penalties.

10 Smart Incorporation Strategies That Can Save Brampton 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. A Brampton trucking operator earning $190,000 saves $32,600 in the first year alone by incorporating before the first load. 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: trucks, equipment, software, marketing, professional fees. A Brampton construction company spending $15,000 on startup costs recovers $1,950 in ITCs.
4. Use a salary-dividend split from your first pay period to create RRSP room
Most Brampton 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. Choose federal incorporation for inter-provincial trucking and logistics
Brampton trucking companies operating across Ontario, Quebec, Alberta and into the US need federal incorporation. It provides automatic right to operate in every province without separate extra-provincial registrations. It also costs less ($273 vs. $335 Ontario).
6. Claim Immediate Expensing on trucks and equipment purchased through the corporation
A Brampton trucking company buying 2 trucks ($320,000) or a construction company buying an excavator ($180,000) gets the full amount as a year-one deduction under Immediate Expensing. Sole proprietors cannot claim this at the same rate. Incorporate before the purchase.
7. Use a section 85 rollover to convert from sole proprietorship tax-free
A Brampton contractor with $180,000 in trucks and equipment who incorporates without a section 85 rollover pays approximately $14,000 in unnecessary tax. The rollover transfers everything to the new corporation at tax cost, deferring the gain until the asset is actually 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
Brampton 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 →
