Our Packages
At Bunning & Farnand, we strive to keep costs low for our corporate clients. Our various corporate packages are designed to provide the services you need and allow you to request additional services as required.
For most people, we recommend our standard Provincial (Ontario) incorporation package, which will generate a Corporate Key granting you access to the Ontario Business Registry. Some clients require a Federal incorporation, which allows the company to act in all provinces across the country. Contact our office to find out which option is right for you.
Package | What’s Included | Costs¹ (HST Incl) |
|---|---|---|
Standard Ontario Incorporation | Provincial Incorporation, NUANS pre-search and one full NUANS name search (additional searches are $50), a ‘digital minute book’ including share certificates (add a physical minute book for $200.) | $1,500.00 |
Standard Federal Incorporation | Federal Incorporation, NUANS pre-search and one full NUANS name search (additional searches are $50), and a ‘digital minute book’ including share certificates (physical book extra.) | $1,400.00 |
Physical Minute Book only (existing companies) | Black attaché case with corporate seal, dividers, and pre-printed corporate registers, ledgers, by-laws, tabs, and share certificates, and including initial corporate resolutions. | $700.00 |
Digital Minute Book Only (for existing companies with no corporate records) | Corporate by-laws, registers, ledgers, resolutions, and share certificates in Microsoft Word format, delivered by email and hard copy (binder not included.) | $500.00 |
Ontario Annual Returns | Consultation with our staff and filing of Ontario Annual Returns on your behalf. (Ontario Corporate Key required.²) | $250.00 |
¹ Note that our standard costs include both legal fees and disbursements and are subject to change by our corporate supplier's pricing, Federal/Provincial government registration fees, and any additional work required over and above the standard package.
² Ontario Corporate Keys are generated automatically if you incorporated your company after October 19, 2021. If your company was incorporated prior to that date, you will need to request a key from the Ontario Business Registry before we can provide any registration services.
