Our Services
Business Incorporation Assistance
Incorporating a business in Canada involves navigating different government websites,
English and French terminology, preparing business information and supporting materials,
and completing multiple filing steps. Inspelis provides detailed guidance on the incorporation
process for entrepreneurs, small and medium-sized businesses, and international clients
seeking to establish a business presence in Canada. We help clients understand
government webpages, prepare the required information and materials, and work through
the official incorporation process step by step.
How We Can Help
001 Detailed Explanation of the Incorporation Steps and Process
Based solely on information and materials that the client has independently decided upon
and prepared:
• Explain the federal incorporation process in Canada
• Explain the Québec incorporation process
• Guide clients through the steps on government incorporation websites
• Provide information on government-published filing fees and processing times
• Provide a detailed checklist of the information and materials required for
incorporation
• Provide a checklist of the information that must be provided to government
authorities
• Check whether any information or materials required by the government process
appear to be missing
002 Real-Time Guidance
Through in-person support, video meetings, or screen sharing, we can:
• Assist clients in completing the application using their own computer and government
account
• Direct clients to the appropriate government webpage
• Explain the purpose of the page currently being viewed
• Show where information that the client has independently decided upon and
prepared corresponds to fields on the government form
• Point out required fields that have not yet been completed
• Explain the next administrative or technical step
• Help clients understand general administrative and technical information contained in
system messages and government notices; where a matter involves specific legal
consequences, legal obligations, or decisions about how to respond legally, the client
must make that decision independently and consult a lawyer or Québec notary where
appropriate
003 Post-Incorporation Business Launch Support
Incorporation is only one step in launching a business. After incorporation, depending on the
client’s needs, Inspelis can also provide support with:

procedures

government webpages

Scope & Professional Boundaries
The client remains responsible for entering information, reviewing the contents of the
application, making declarations, signing where applicable, making payments, and
completing the final submission. Inspelis checks whether the client appears to have omitted
information or materials required by the government process. This review is limited to
checking whether the information and materials required by the government process appear
to be complete and does not assess their legal sufficiency, legal effect, or the
appropriateness of any particular legal arrangement. Inspelis provides business consulting,
language support, general information about government processes, administrative
guidance, information organization, and project coordination services.
Inspelis is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Matters involving tax, legal,
accounting, or other regulated professional judgment are handled by appropriately qualified
professionals. Inspelis does not prepare, draft, sign, or submit on behalf of the client articles
of incorporation, Québec enterprise register declarations or other legal-publicity filings,
corporate resolutions, or other legal documents relating to the incorporation or organization
of a corporation. Inspelis also does not act as the client’s authorized representative to
complete government filings on the client’s behalf. Throughout the process, the client retains
control of their own computer, government account, keyboard, and mouse, and personally
reviews, confirms, and submits all filing information.
Inspelis does not obtain or use a client’s government-account password, authentication
credentials, or multi-factor authentication (MFA) codes in order to complete filings on the
client’s behalf. If a client wishes to use customized articles of incorporation, special rights
attached to shares, a special ownership structure, or another customized legal arrangement,
those decisions must be made by the client and, where appropriate, with advice from a
lawyer or Québec notary.
All decisions concerning corporate structure, classes of shares, rights attached to shares,
ownership arrangements, provisions of the articles of incorporation, and other matters
requiring legal judgment are made independently by the client. Inspelis can provide detailed
explanations of standardized options and forms made available by government authorities,
but does not make legal decisions for the client or design or draft customized corporate legal
documents. Inspelis does not draft or modify customized articles of incorporation,
shareholders’ agreements, by-laws, organizational resolutions, or other corporate
organizational documents requiring legal judgment.
