Federal Incorporation in Canada

Federal Incorporation In Canada

Canada recently introduced a new federal incorporation law known as the Canada Business Corporations Act, which has made business registration more straightforward for small businesses across the country. The Act has simplified the rules surrounding share capital and voting rights, introduced electronic filings, and granted more flexibility to directors in determining who can be an officer of the corporation. Additionally, it provides clear definitions for “small business” and “medium-sized enterprise,” among other improvements.
