Federal Incorporation and Business Guide: How to Form Your Own Federal Corporation Under the Canada Business Corporations Act

Toby Rupert was a librarian living in Toronto.

The first edition of this work, by Heather Fayers, appeared in 1978; it was favourably reviewed in CBRA 1978 (entry 1027). Even with a new author the topics remain substantially the same: how to incorporate at the federal level, how to carry on a business, the kinds and classes of shares, taxes, how to choose a name, how to choose officers and a board, and so forth. Twenty-seven sample forms are included in the book, and certain services are available from the publisher: a name search service, a kit of federal forms, corporate seals, and various stamps. A recommended self-help guide in this area of incorporation, and certainly very useful for students and budding journalists who want or need some “inside” information.
