Everything You Need to Incorporate & Launch
From filing your articles to registering every CRA account and setting up your corporate structure — we handle the entire process so you can focus on your business.
Articles of Incorporation
We prepare and file your articles of incorporation with Corporations Canada (federal) or the Ontario Business Registry — including name search, share classes, and restrictions.
CRA Business Number & Accounts
Registration of your 9-digit CRA Business Number and all required program accounts — corporate income tax (T2), HST/GST, payroll, and import/export if applicable.
Share Structure Design
We design your share structure for maximum tax flexibility — multiple share classes to enable income splitting, capital gains exemptions, and future estate planning opportunities.
Corporate Minute Book
A complete minute book with your certificate of incorporation, articles, bylaws, initial resolutions, share register, and director and officer register — organized and compliant.
Tax Planning & Structure Advice
Before we incorporate, we advise on the optimal structure for your situation — CCPC small business deduction eligibility, HST threshold timing, and salary vs. dividend planning.
Post-Incorporation Support
We don't disappear after filing. We set up your bookkeeping, connect your business bank account, and ensure your first fiscal year starts on the right foot — fully CRA compliant.
Built for Toronto Entrepreneurs Ready to Incorporate
Whether you're a freelancer ready to formalize, a contractor protecting your liability, or an entrepreneur launching your first venture — we guide you through the right structure for your goals and get you incorporated quickly.
Incorporated and Operating in 4 Simple Steps
From your first call to a fully registered corporation — we handle every filing and registration so you can focus on building your business.
Free Consultation
We review your business model, income level, and goals to determine whether to incorporate federally or provincially and design the right share structure for your situation.
Name Search & Filing
We conduct the NUANS name search (or register a numbered company), prepare your articles of incorporation, and file with Corporations Canada or the Ontario Business Registry.
CRA Registration
We register your Business Number and all required CRA accounts — T2 corporate tax, HST/GST, and payroll — so you're compliant from your first transaction.
Minute Book & Handoff

Why Toronto Entrepreneurs Choose Vertex Financial
We combine legal filing precision with CPA-level tax planning — so your incorporation isn't just done, it's done in a way that saves you money from day one.
CPA-Designed Share Structure
Most incorporation services file generic articles with one share class. We design your structure for income splitting, future capital gains exemptions, and estate planning — before we file.
Federal vs. Provincial Guidance
We advise you on whether federal or Ontario incorporation makes more sense for your business — considering cost, operating provinces, and future plans — before recommending a path.
Flat Fee — No Surprises
One transparent flat fee covers articles, CRA registration, minute book setup, and our tax planning advice. No hourly billing, no government disbursement surprises added after the fact.
Tax Savings From Day One
The CCPC small business deduction reduces Ontario corporate tax to approximately 12.2% on the first $500K of active income. We ensure your corporation qualifies and is structured to capture this rate.
End-to-End Service
We handle incorporation, CRA registration, and bookkeeping setup — so you have one firm for everything. No handing off between a lawyer, an accountant, and a bookkeeper.
Toronto Local & Responsive
We're a GTA firm that understands Ontario business rules. We respond within 2 business hours and explain everything in plain language — no confusing legal jargon.
