Incorporation in Quebec
You may constitute a company within Quebec jurisdiction if you anticipate that the company's headquarters will be in Quebec, and that it is not likely that the latter will be moved outside of Quebec.
Another point to consider is the place of residence of the administrators and shareholders. The Loi sur les sociétés par actions does not stipulate any requirement relative to the residence of the members of the administrative council or that of the shareholders: the administrators and shareholders of a Quebec company do not have to be Canadian residents.
Why choose to incorporate a company in Quebec?
- The administrators and shareholders are not residents of Canada
- In order to limit the government fees related to constitution
- Simplified formalities with regard to updates: only one company registry to maintain up to date
- To obtain a Numéro d'entreprise du Québec (NEQ*) quickly
- The company to be created will be a subsidiary of a Quebec company
- The possibility of doing business everywhere in the world
* This number is often required by financial institutions for opening bank accounts.
**Provided that the registration formalities for the concerned province.
