Supporting Canadian Businesses at Every Stage

At FH&P Lawyers, our Corporate Services are designed to help you navigate the legal landscape of doing business in Canada with confidence and clarity. Whether you’re incorporating a new company, managing annual compliance, issuing dividends, or planning for a future transition, our experienced Legal Team is here to protect your interests and support your long-term goals. With a deep understanding of both federal and provincial corporate regulations, we offer practical, proactive, and personalized advice to help your business thrive.

Business Registrations

Navigating the legal requirements for starting a business in Canada can be complex. We guide you through the entire incorporation process—whether federal or provincial—and ensure your business is properly structured from the outset. Our services include name searches, preparation of incorporation documents, organizational resolutions, and initial share issuance.

Annual Filings

Corporations are required by law to maintain annual records and filings. We manage the preparation and submission of your annual returns, update your minute books, and ensure that all records are in good standing with provincial or federal registries. Having FH&P Lawyers as your Legal Team allows you to stay compliant and stay focused. 

Dividends

Our Corporate Legal Team can help you declare dividends legally and tax-efficiently, ensuring compliance with the federal regulations and your corporate by-laws. Whether you're paying out to shareholders or planning retained earnings strategies, our lawyers ensure all documentation is in place.

Corporate Records / Registered Records Office

Maintaining accurate corporate records is not only a legal obligation—it’s a best practice for any successful business. We assist with the upkeep of your corporate minute book, shareholder registers, and resolutions. We can also act as your Registered Records Office, offering secure storage and quick access to your official documents.

Reorganization & Transition Planning 

Future-proof your business—from restructuring ownership to preparing for succession, we help you plan for the future. Our lawyers work closely with accountants and financial planners to craft tax-effective strategies for reorganizations, shareholder exits, estate planning, and intergenerational transfers. Let us help you build a smooth and sustainable path forward.
