It depends on where you are and where you're headed. A sole proprietorship is the fastest way to start — low cost, minimal paperwork. Incorporation offers more protection and credibility as you grow. Preferway walks you through both so you can choose with clarity, not guesswork.
Right now, we focus on getting you properly set up — registration, structure, and the paperwork that matters most. But we're actively building toward ongoing compliance support, annual filings, and founder guidance so you're never left figuring things out alone.
No — and that's by design. Our service fees and government fees are always listed separately so you see exactly what you're paying and why. No bundled surprises, no hidden charges. Transparency is a core part of how we operate.
Neither — and we don't try to be. Preferway is a modern setup platform built for founders who want a clear, guided process without the overhead of traditional firms. We're not a substitute for legal or accounting advice, but we make the setup experience something you can actually trust.
It happens more often than you'd think — and it's not a dealbreaker. We run a name availability check early in the process. If your first choice is taken, we'll help you explore strong alternatives that still reflect your brand. You won't lose time or money on a name that won't clear.
In most cases, yes. Canada is one of the most accessible countries in the world for starting a business. Sole proprietorships typically require a valid Canadian address, while federal and certain provincial incorporations are open to non-residents. We'll walk you through the specific requirements based on your situation.
