Highlights

Everyone says incorporate. Nobody shows the math. Here it is.

Should you incorporate your Canadian small business? This guide gives you the honest answer. Written by a Canadian tax professional with 20 years of experience.

What's inside:
- What incorporation actually does (and doesn't do)
- The tax difference, in plain numbers: the small business rate vs. personal rates
- Why the real benefit is deferral, not elimination
- When it's worth it, and when it's a waste of money
- What it actually costs: fees, maintenance, accounting
- Paying yourself: salary vs. dividends, honestly compared
- THE PERSONAL SERVICES BUSINESS TRAP: the rule that kills the benefit for contractors
- Section 85: moving your existing business in tax-deferred
- The shareholder loan trap: don't treat the company like your wallet
- Capital Dividend Account and Lifetime Capital Gains Exemption
- Liability protection: what it covers and what it doesn't
- Your incorporation checklist, step by step
