Buying a Company in Canada

Why it is recommended to buy a company in Canada instead of starting one from scratch

Today, the Canadian market is characterized by dynamic growth and favorable conditions for entrepreneurs. Because of this, many businessmen are interested in registering a local company. However, creating a company from scratch is a rather complex and time-consuming process. For many entrepreneurs, acquiring a ready-made Canadian company is a more suitable option.

The decision to buy a company in Canada also comes from the fact that although commercial competition is quite high here, market stability and favorable legislation are much more significant advantages. One should not forget that any disputes are resolved fairly and within the framework of the law. An additional advantage for foreign entrepreneurs is the right to apply for a residence permit, which is granted to all non-residents who own a company in this country.

Steps

Selecting a Company in Canada

You need to find a company for purchase and negotiate the terms of the deal. This can be done independently or with our assistance. We have clients and partners who are looking for buyers for their companies.

02

Company Audit

Before the purchase, the company should be checked for debts to government authorities, including tax liabilities, as well as accounts payable and receivable.

03

Document Preparation

It is necessary to prepare the buyer’s personal documents, powers of attorney, and re-registration forms.

04

Submission of Documents for Re-registration

The prepared package of documents is submitted to the Registry. After that, the registrar processes the documents, and changes to the company are recorded in the Registry’s database.

05

Receiving Confirmation of Company Re-registration

After the company’s data has been updated in the Registry, its registration details can be viewed, and certified paper copies of statutory documents can be requested if needed. Our specialists can assist with all required certifications (notarization, apostille) and, if necessary, translations into other languages.
