Product Info

A Corporation registered or incorporated under the Business Corporations Act is called an Ontario Corporation. It is recognized as a separate entity from its owners for legal and tax purposes.

Corporations can generally conduct any lawful business as well as the actions necessary to conduct the business, like entering into contracts, owning assets, borrowing money, hiring employees and setting up a bank account of its own. However, a PREC should not trade in real estate other than to provide the services of its controlling shareholder to the brokerage

It is the right choice if you want a business structure with a limited liability.
