Business Incorporation Checklist
01
CONDUCT MARKET RESEARCH
Gather research on who your potential customers will be, and understand who your competitors are.
This stage is extremely important because it will reveal your competitive advantage.
02
CREATE A BUSINESS PLAN
Consider your business plan as a blueprint to how your business will operate, earn revenue, and turn a profit. When seeking investors or funding, you'd need to show that your business will be profitable over time - which is what your business plan will demonstrate.
03
CHOOSE A BUSINESS NAME & STRUCTURE
When choosing a business name, perform a comprehensive search to ensure the name you want is available. We suggest developing a list of your Top 3 business names. Need help selecting a business structure? Connect with a VAAS Pro Consultant.
04
REGISTER YOUR BUSINESS WITH THE GOVERNMENT
Legalize your business by registering it with the government. This process can be confusing and in some cases, time consuming, but enter this stage with confidence knowing that VAAS Pro is by your side.
Step 4 begins with registering your business idea with the federal government. This is where we step in!
To get started, we just need to collect a few pieces of information from you.
