Why Incorporate Your Business?
There are many reasons to incorporate a business. It may give you favourable tax benefits. It may also provide a layer of protection against personal liability. As you may be aware, a corporation may limit the liability of the person or people who own the business. For example, if a company is unsuccessful and goes bankrupt, the person or people who invested in the company can only lose their investment to the creditors. Therefore, the corporation acts as a shield against personal liability.
As mentioned, another incorporation benefit deals with taxes. In many cases the corporate tax rate is lower than the individual tax rate. This can save you money and provide real fiscal advantages. We recommend that you consult an accountant to determine whether there are tax advantages to you by incorporating your business.
