CANADIAN COMPANIES
Entrepreneurs advancing business ideas in the Canadian market should, first of all, choose the most suitable type of business entity as per their needs. In Canada, following types of businesses are most commonly preferred:
Limited liability company

Canadian extra provincial corporation
The extra provincial corporation is a popular business form, employed by foreign investors coming to Canada. The particularity of the extra provincial corporation resides in the fact that it needs to obtain a license in each province it operates and also requires a registered agent.
The public company

Partnership
This type of entity is similar to the sole proprietorship except there are two or more owners running the business together and sharing profits. Mainly there are two types of partnership available in Canada:
Limited partnership
The entrepreneurs will agree on the responsibilities and rights of each partner. However, the extent of profit share and liability might vary, but all the details are mentioned in the agreement.
- General partnership
In general partnership, each individual can manage the business, and he/she is responsible for the debts and obligations of the partnership
