STARTING A BUSINESS

At Droit Ouimet-McPherson Law, we help new business owners cut through the noise and avoid costly missteps. We guide you through every stage—from idea to execution—with personalized legal support tailored to your goals.

We start by helping you answer important foundational questions:

• What type of business do you want to create—and how will you operate it?
  (In person? Online? A bit of both?)

• Is your business better suited to a sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, or joint venture?

• Should you incorporate federally or provincially? What are the legal implications?

• What name should your business operate under—and do you need to register it?

• How many owners will there be, and how will shares or roles be allocated?

• Will you need a shareholder agreement, partnership agreement, or a joint venture agreement?

• What about choosing a fiscal year-end, banking setup, or selecting a corporate accountant?

These are just a few of the decisions that can have long-term legal and financial consequences. Our job is to make these decisions easier—and smarter—for you.

Don’t build your business on guesswork. Let us help you lay a strong legal foundation so you can focus on what you do best: building, growing, and succeeding.
