Federal Incorporation in Canada

Incorporating federally registers your company with Corporations Canada under the Canada Business Corporations Act. Your corporate name is protected across the country, which matters if you plan to grow beyond New Brunswick or want national brand protection.

Is federal incorporation right for you?

Federal incorporation is often a good fit if you:

Plan to do business in more than one province
Want your corporate name protected across Canada
Are working with investors or partners who expect a federal corporation

If your business will operate mainly in New Brunswick, a New Brunswick corporation is usually simpler and costs less to maintain.

You still register in your home province

A federal corporation must also register in each province where it carries on business, including New Brunswick. We take care of the extra-provincial registration for you, so you are set up properly from day one.

How it works

Step 1: Name search. Choose a numbered corporation, or pick a name and we run a NUANS® search to check it is available across Canada.

Step 2: Documents and filing. We prepare your Articles of Incorporation, registered office address and first board of directors, and file them with Corporations Canada.

Step 3: You are incorporated. You receive your Certificate of Incorporation and CRA Business Number. We can also set up your HST and payroll accounts, prepare your minute book and register you in New Brunswick.

What is included for $439

Articles of Incorporation, Notice of Directors, Notice of Registered Office, Certificate of Incorporation and your CRA Business Number. HST is extra. See our price list for add-on services.

Why work with Startup Support Plus?

We have helped Moncton and Canadian businesses get registered since 2017. You deal with a local team, your documents are checked before they are filed, and we are available 24/7. Questions? Call us at (506) 854-6490.

Common questions about federal incorporation

How much does federal incorporation cost?

Our federal incorporation service is $439 plus HST. A named federal corporation also needs a NUANS name search report ($50). See our price list for related services.

Do I still need to register in New Brunswick?

Yes, in most cases. A federal corporation must also register in each province where it carries on business. In New Brunswick that is an extra-provincial registration with Service New Brunswick. We can handle both filings for you.

Federal or New Brunswick incorporation: which is better?

Federal incorporation protects your corporate name across Canada and can suit businesses planning to operate in several provinces. A New Brunswick corporation is usually simpler and less expensive to maintain for a business that works mainly in New Brunswick. We are happy to talk it through before you decide.

What does a federal corporation have to file each year?

A federal corporation files an annual return with Corporations Canada every year (we can file it for you for $200 a year), plus any provincial annual returns where it is registered, and a T2 corporate tax return with the CRA.

What is the register of individuals with significant control?

Federal corporations must keep a register of the people who have significant control over the corporation and file that information with Corporations Canada. We set it up as part of your incorporation and can help you keep it current.
