Incorporating your business in Quebec simplifies the process, as registration is automatic upon submitting your incorporation application. For sole proprietors using their own name, registration is optional unless you’re involved in retail tobacco or tanning salons.

While you can manage registration on your own, it’s highly recommended to consult a lawyer. A legal expert can provide essential guidance, advise you on the necessary steps, and help you avoid costly mistakes.
