Is Incorporation Right for You?

What are the benefits of incorporating? And when is the best time to incorporate?

Join Cara Chesney Mitchell CPA, CA of MNP in Kingston for a virtual, 1-hour session covering the advantages of incorporating, whether it’s the right choice for you, and what you should consider before you make the leap.

The decision to incorporate is not an easy choice; the set-up cost runs anywhere from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand. And if you’re at the early stages of growth, you’re assessing every pro and con of incorporating your business.

In this workshop, Cara will examine and discuss:

• The advantages and disadvantages of incorporation

• The impact of incorporation on overall taxes

• What deferring personal tax means for your income

• How to maximize the flexibility it gives you in tax, remuneration, and retirement planning.

NOTE: Attendees will be emailed a Zoom link to the online session by separate email prior to the event.
