Questions, answered

Before you begin.

We’ll explain the process in plain language and tell you when a question needs an accountant or lawyer.

Is FORM1 a law firm?+

No. FORM1 provides administrative incorporation and business setup support based on the information and instructions clients provide. Legal questions or complex ownership decisions are referred to a qualified lawyer.

Can you tell me whether I should incorporate?+

That decision can have legal and tax consequences. We can explain our process, but advice about whether incorporation is right for you should come from an appropriate accounting or legal professional.

Can I get help setting up my CRA accounts?+

Yes. Guided CRA, GST/HST and payroll account assistance is available. You will need to create, access and verify your own CRA account, and FORM1 will walk you through the process.

Can I order a corporate binder later?+

Yes. Essential clients can add a professionally prepared printed corporate binder later for $150 plus GST.

Can you help after the company is created?+

Yes. Optional business setup and Corporate Care support can help you organize the next steps and keep your company records current.

What if my corporation is complicated?+

We’ll identify matters outside a standard administrative filing and pause before proceeding. You can obtain instructions from the appropriate professional, then return to FORM1 for the permitted administrative work.

Incorporate. Set up. Launch.

One place to get
business moving.

Start with incorporation, then add accounting guidance and a professional online presence when you need them.
