Corporate Structure

Two walls, kept on purpose.

The holding company and the operating companies are separate legal persons. Money crosses between them only through four documented channels — never casually, never off the books.

Separate everything

Separate bank accounts, separate books, separate CRA business numbers — for each corporation, from day one.

Every dollar documented

Intercompany money moves only as dividends, documented shareholder loans, written management-fee agreements, or formal capital injections.

Records kept like they matter

Minute books, share registers, and annual resolutions maintained for each entity — sloppy records are how courts pierce the corporate veil.

Professionals at the table

An Ontario business lawyer validates the structure and an accountant runs books, payroll, and tax compliance before significant transactions.
