COMPANY INCORPORATION IN CANADA

A company in Canada can be started as one of the following legal entities.

Sole Trader: This type of corporation is owned by a single person who bears unlimited liability for the business, i.e., is fully responsible for all debts and obligations pertaining to the business. Because a sole trader is personally liable, a creditor can make a claim against his/her personal assets as well as their business assets in order to liquidate any debts. All profits, as well, are reaped by the owner.

Partnership: A partnership is owned by 2 or more people. A partnership could be a general partnership (where each partner is jointly liable for the debts of the partnership) or a limited partnership (where a partner can contribute to the business without being involved in its operations). A partnership, like a sole trading company, carries with it unlimited liability.

Corporation: A corporation is a legal entity that separates the business from its owner, implying that the owner is not personally liable for the financial matters of the company. In Canada, a corporation can be incorporated either federally or provincially.

Co-operative: A cooperative is an association formed by people of a community, generally to pool collective resources and cooperate to fulfil their common needs or support a cause. A co-operative is characterized by limited liability, right to vote for every member, and profit sharing. Like a corporation, a co-operative can be registered federally or provincially.
