Register a Federal Corporation in Canada

Are you planning to grow your business across provincial borders? Registering as a Federal Corporation gives you the national reach, legal protection, and flexibility to operate anywhere in Canada. At Startup Support Plus, we make the incorporation process simple, fast, and fully compliant with federal regulations.

What Is a Federal Corporation?

A Federal Corporation is formed under the Canada Business Corporations Act (CBCA), allowing your business to operate across all provinces and territories. This type of incorporation offers stronger name protection across the country and helps you scale with confidence.

You can choose between:

  • A Numbered Corporation (e.g., 123456 Canada Inc.)

  • A Named Corporation (e.g., Startup Support Plus Inc.)

What’s Included in Our Incorporation Service

We take care of all the paperwork and filings required to form your Federal Corporation, including:

  • Articles of Incorporation

  • Notice of Directors

  • Notice of Registered Office

  • Certificate of Incorporation

With everything handled by our experienced team, you can focus on building your business.

Add-On Setup Services (Optional)

To get your new corporation ready for full operations, we also offer support with:

  • CRA Business Number registration

  • Corporate tax (RC0001), HST (RT0001), and Payroll (RP0001) accounts

  • WorkSafeNB account setup (if applicable)

These services ensure you’re prepared to hire staff, collect taxes, and operate legally from day one.

NUANS Report for Named Corporations

If you’re choosing a custom business name, a NUANS Report is required to confirm that the name is unique and available. Don’t have one? We’ll help you request and file it as part of the incorporation process.

Share Structure Options

Every corporation requires a defined share structure. You can choose from:

  • Basic – Unlimited common shares

  • Standard – Class A voting and Class B non-voting shares

  • Custom – Fully personalized articles tailored to your business

If you’re unsure which option to choose, our team will guide you based on your business goals.
