Incorporation Checklist

The Toolbox.
Small, self-contained tools for the parts of incorporating and running a Canadian corporation that are easy to get wrong and expensive to fix late. They run in your browser, they don't ask who you are, and they cite where every requirement comes from.
What's in it.
Roughly the order you meet them: incorporate, open the tax accounts, and — if you're a licensed real estate registrant — check that your articles hold up.
CRA Accounts & First-Year Tax
Picks up once you hold the Certificate of Incorporation: which CRA accounts a new corporation needs, when each one is triggered, and the thresholds that decide it.
Personal Real Estate Corporations
For licensed real estate salespeople and brokers, whose articles have to satisfy conditions ordinary corporations don't. Includes a free Articles Health Check that rates your existing articles.
General information — not legal or tax advice. Rules, fees, and thresholds change, and every situation has details a checklist can't see. Each tool links the official source behind its items so you can confirm the current requirement, and anything specific to you belongs with your own lawyer and CPA.
Why these are free.
Every one of these tools encodes something an accountant would otherwise explain from scratch, on the clock, to each new client — and would rather spend that hour on the questions that actually need judgment.
Nothing you enter is sent to us. The tools keep their state in your own browser, so you can work through one across several sittings without an account existing anywhere.
