Incorporating your Company in Alberta

How you structure your business plays a critical role in its prosperity and success. Although the terms corporation, sole proprietorship, partnership and limited liability partnership may appear to be mere words, to a business lawyer they are the cornerstones for launching a successful new business enterprise. Each of these legal constructs provides its own set of tools and challenges through which business owners will ultimately determine the future of their labours. As such selecting the appropriate legal form of business enterprise is important, yet it is merely the starting line from which a long and arduous race is to be commenced.

To succeed in this highly competitive business world, the legal shell must be given substance. Merely incorporating one's business will not provide a wealth of legal protections (an all too common misconception that has been flogged to the public), given the harsh reality that poorly conceived business actions have the potential to create far more serious problems in the long run (due in part to the mistaken belief that the business has now attained some mythical protection). If you are committed to the success of your business, the advice of a knowledgeable legal professional is essential to giving your business legal substance, such that it has the ability to achieve the results that you intend to realize.

As such, when your business seeks the professional services of experienced legal counsel, whether when incorporating a new Alberta company or dealing with its ongoing corporate development, your business can look to the Calgary, Alberta law firm of Neufeld Legal P.C.

Incorporation of an Independent Contractor
Many job opportunities in the resource sector in Alberta (e.g., oil and gas, mining} are only available to you as an independent contractor (as opposed to an employee), with the principal company further requiring that as an independent contractor you provide your services through a corporation, which contracts with the principal company. As such, as part of accepting the work assignment, not only will you need to review and sign off on the independent contractor agreement, but also incorporate an appropriate corporation to perform the work.
