Start Your Named IncorporationNo NUANS report needed. The fastest, lowest-cost way to incorporate your business in Ontario.
Incorporate Numbered CompanyAll pricing includes government fees. No hidden fees, ever.
How long does online incorporation take?
Ontario incorporations are filed and returned within 2 business hours. Submit in the morning and you can be incorporated before lunch.
If you're forming a Named Company, your NUANS Name Reservation Report is delivered within 15 minutes — so the name step never holds up your filing. Numbered companies skip that step entirely and go straight to the registry.
Named vs. Numbered — Do you need a NUANS?
Choose Named if your brand name matters to customers, banking or marketing. You'll need a NUANS report (included in the $447 price).
Choose Numbered if you want to incorporate fast and don't need a public-facing name yet — common for holding companies, contractors and consultants. You can always register an Operating Name later.
Provincial vs. Federal incorporation
Incorporating in Ontario is the right fit for most businesses operating mainly within the province — it's straightforward and cost-effective.
Federal incorporation protects your business name across all of Canada and suits companies planning to operate in more than one province. It involves an extra registration step, but gives you nationwide name rights.
Both are full corporations
Whether you incorporate provincially or federally, named or numbered, you get a real corporation: limited liability, a separate legal entity, potential tax advantages and a more credible structure for growth.
Not sure which way to go? Our team will point you to the right option for your situation — that's part of the lifetime support included with every filing.
