Our Business Startup and Technology Services:

Incorporations.

Done quickly, done professionally. We can advise you on how to structure your company, which is always customized to fit your needs. You will receive an organized and professional Minutebook binder that includes every document essential to a functioning business.

Types of incorporations:

  • BC Corporations

  • Professional BC Corporations (Doctors, Dentists, Accountants)

  • Alberta Corporations

  • Ontario Corporations

  • Federal Corporations

    • International & Offshore Incorporations (Delaware, Singapore, Cayman Islands)

Your company, new or old, will require annual corporate maintenance to keep it in good standing with the corporate registry. While we build this service in to our incorporation package, we also offer it to existing companies who are looking for help.

 

Shareholders Agreements.

Your Shareholders Agreement is one of the most important documents to understand in your journey as a business owner or investor. It sets out the rights and obligations of the shareholders in your company, relative to other shareholders, dictating how to:

  • Resolve disagreements

  • Loan money to the corporation (shareholder loans)

  • Protect proportional ownership and voting power in the corporation (preemptive rights)

  • Transfer shares

  • Plan for ownership challenges upon the death of a shareholder

  • Agree to a valuation method of shares

  • And more.

Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, your Shareholders Agreement needs to be customized to suit your specific needs. It’s important to remember that in the early stages of your business it may only be you and your partner who sign it, but we can advise you how to design it for future growth. Collaborative design. Built to scale.

 

Employees, Contractors, and Confidentiality.

As you scale your business, you may need to hire staff. Not all entrepreneurs realize the differences between hiring employees versus hiring contractors. We can advise you on these differences and based on your situation, we can draft the appropriate contracts that you will use to hire staff and build your business.

Our Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs), our Intellectual Property (IP) Assignment Agreements, and our Invention Assignment Agreements ensure that your sensitive and valuable information and property stay protected as you grow. Privacy & protection are paramount.
