Sole proprietorship is the least complicated business structure. As sole proprietor, you are the business. You can operate under your own name, or you can register a business name at the Companies Office for a fee. For example, I could use P.J. Richer Plumbing without registering because P.J. Richer is my own name. If I wanted to operate as Swoosh Plumbing, I would have to register that name.
If you decide to register a business name, you will be required to renew the registration every three years. Regardless of whether your name is registered, you will also be required to register with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) for a GST (Goods and Services Tax) number and with Manitoba Finance for a PST (Provincial Sales Tax) number. We strongly recommend that you also consult with an accounting professional at this stage.
The biggest disadvantage of incorporation is cost. While tax deferral is appealing, you should consult with an accountant to ensure you are fully aware of the consequences of the decisions you make. While you will be deferring taxes, you will also be incurring annual legal and accounting costs. If your income is low, any tax advantages will be lost.
