Types of Business Structures in Canada

Before you begin the registration process, it’s important to understand the different types of business structures available in Canada. Your choice of structure will impact your taxes, liability, and other aspects of your business. Here are the most common business structures:

Sole Proprietorship

Ideal for small businesses run by one individual.

Easy and inexpensive to set up.

Partnership

Formed when two or more people agree to operate a business together.

Can be structured as a general partnership or a limited partnership (LP).

Corporation

A legal entity separate from its owners (shareholders).

Can be incorporated at the federal or provincial level.

Co-operative

A business owned and operated by its members, who share in decision-making.

Typically used for businesses in agriculture, retail, or community services.

Steps to Register Your Business in Canada

The process of registering your business depends on the type of structure you choose. However, there are some general steps that apply across most business types:

Choose a Business Name: Ensure your business name is unique and doesn’t conflict with existing trademarks or business names.
Register Your Business
- Sole Proprietorship/Partnership: Register with the appropriate provincial or territorial authorities.
- Corporations: File your incorporation documents with either the federal government or the provincial government. This involves submitting articles of incorporation and other key documents.
Obtain Necessary Permits and Licenses
- Depending on your business type and location, you may need specific permits, licenses, or zoning clearances.
- Ensure you meet all the regulatory requirements before starting operations.
Register for Taxes
- GST/HST Registration: If your business’s taxable sales exceed $30,000 in any single quarter or in the last four consecutive quarters, you must register for Goods and Services Tax (GST) or Harmonized Sales Tax (HST).
- Payroll Taxes: If you have employees, you must register for payroll taxes and remit the appropriate deductions for income tax, Canada Pension Plan (CPP), and Employment Insurance (EI).
- Other Taxes: Depending on your business, you may need to register for other taxes, such as excise taxes or provincial sales taxes.
Obtain a Business Number (BN)
- A Business Number (BN) is a unique identifier for your business and is used for dealing with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) for tax-related matters.
