Key Questions

Answers to the questions people actually ask.

Select any question to expand the answer.

Why incorporate as a professional in Canada?
Often for tax deferral and flexibility. The value comes from intentional planning and coordination, not incorporation alone.
How should surplus corporate cash be invested?
It depends on purpose, timeline, and tax outcomes. Corporate investing behaves differently than personal accounts, so structure matters.
What are the most common planning mistakes?
Unclear purpose for retained earnings, poor coordination (tax/estate/investments), and delaying planning until decisions become urgent.
What’s a clean next step to get organized?
Define the purpose of corporate capital, map cash needs/timelines, and coordinate assumptions with your accountant.
