Warman Accounting Co. provides business setup and registration support by appointment for new and growing businesses that want to start correctly, stay compliant, and keep their records clean from day one. If you’re unsure whether you should operate as a sole proprietorship, partnership, or corporation—or you’ve already started but feel like the setup is messy—this service helps you make the right structural choices, register properly, and put simple systems in place so invoicing, bookkeeping, and taxes don’t become a headache later.
What We Can Help You Set Up
Business setup and registration is the process of choosing a structure that fits your goals and risk level, registering your business where required, and getting the foundational pieces in place so you can operate confidently. When setup is rushed or done incorrectly, common problems show up later—mixing personal and business finances, missing tax registrations, unclear ownership between partners, disorganized records, or having to redo the structure after you’ve already started billing. Our focus is practical, accounting-based guidance that keeps your business organized and CRA-ready as you grow.
Sole Proprietorships
A good fit for many individuals starting small or testing an idea. We’ll help you register the business name (if needed), set up simple bookkeeping categories, and make sure you’re prepared for taxes and GST/HST if/when it applies.
Partnerships
If you’re going into business with someone else, we can help register the partnership and set up clean tracking so income and expenses are recorded properly. We’ll also help you set up a practical system for documenting owner contributions, draws, and shared costs so everything stays clear between partners and easy to manage at tax time.
Corporations
If incorporation makes sense for liability, credibility, growth, or tax planning, we can guide you through the setup steps and help get the corporation organized for accounting and tax filings. We’ll also help you plan the practical pieces that matter right away—how you’ll invoice, track expenses, separate business and personal finances, set up GST/HST if needed, and keep your records clean so year-end and future growth are much easier.
Who Should Book a Business Setup Appointment?
A business setup and registration appointment is a good fit if you’re starting a new business, switching from casual side income into something more formal, taking on larger contracts, hiring help, entering into a partnership, or thinking about incorporating but aren’t sure if it’s the right move. It’s also a good fit if you already registered something but feel uncertain about whether it was done correctly, you want to separate business finances properly, you need help understanding GST/HST registration timing, or you want to build a clean system that makes bookkeeping and tax filing straightforward.
What to Bring to Your Appointment
For your appointment, bring whatever applies to your situation—if you’re unsure, bring it anyway. Helpful items typically include a plain-English description of what you do and how you get paid, an estimate of expected revenue, any business names you’re considering, your business address and where you operate, and any registrations or accounts you’ve already created. If you already have invoices, a website, payment methods, or bookkeeping software set up, bringing those details helps us align your registration and accounting workflow so everything stays consistent.
What You’ll Leave With
Most sessions end with clarity, a clean plan, and real progress on registration and setup. You’ll typically leave with a clear recommendation on whether a sole proprietorship, partnership, or incorporation fits best, a registration path that’s practical and compliant, and guidance on GST/HST registration timing if applicable, along with clear next steps for how to invoice, separate business and personal finances, and keep your business organized from day one. The goal is to help you start clean, avoid preventable mistakes, and build a setup that supports growth instead of slowing you down.
Remote & Document Drop-off Options
If you can’t make it in person, we can often complete business setup support through secure document sharing and a phone or video appointment. You can send details ahead of time so your appointment stays focused and practical, and we can still walk through the structure, registration steps, and next actions without needing a long back-and-forth.
Accessibility & Special Accommodations
We aim to make business setup straightforward and comfortable. If you need accommodations—extra time, accessibility support, or help organizing your information—just let us know when you book and we’ll work with you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to incorporate right away?
Not always. Many people start as a sole proprietor and incorporate later. We’ll walk through the pros/cons based on your income, risk, growth plans, and how you want to pay yourself.
Can you help me register for GST/HST?
Yes. We can help you understand when you need to register and assist with the setup process.
What if I’m starting a business with a partner?
Yes—late or missed returns can often be filed, and this can be important for benefits and CRA compliance.
Will this help with taxes later?
Yes. Setting up properly makes year-end filing cleaner, reduces mistakes, and gives you better records from day one.
