Ready to build something great?
Start by making it official
How does it work?
1. Fill out the form
Fill out our incorporation form online in 15 to 30 minutes. Once we receive your information, we prepare your application and submit it to the Registraire des entreprises du Québec.
2. Company creation
You can choose between a numbered company or a company with a custom name.
A numbered company is generally created very quickly, as no name needs to be validated by the Registrar. Once your information is received, your business could be created within 2 hours, depending on processing volume and Registrar delays.
After incorporation, you can freely add one or more trade names to your business file.
Example: 1234-5678 Quebec Inc., operating under the name Élégance Coiffure Inc.
A company with a custom name requires additional name validation, which may make processing longer and take more than 12 hours in some cases. The name must comply with Quebec rules, be available, be primarily in French, and not be confused with an existing business.
3. Receive your official documents
Once incorporation is complete, you receive your official documents by email, including your certificate of incorporation.
Minimum requirements
- Age: Minimum 18 years old. (You must be at least 18 years old to act as a director or officer of a Quebec share corporation.)
- Identity: Valid government-issued ID required. (Canadian citizenship or permanent residency is not required — anyone, regardless of nationality, can incorporate a business in Quebec.)
- Address: A Quebec address is required for the registered office. (This can be your personal address, a virtual office, or the professional address of an accountant or notary. A residential address is perfectly acceptable.)
