Frequently Asked Questions

Quebec Business Registration & Incorporation — Your Questions Answered

You incorporate in Quebec by filing articles of incorporation with the Registraire des entreprises, which then issues your certificate and Quebec enterprise number (NEQ). Business Quebec prepares and files the documents for you through our Quebec incorporation service.

Choose a Quebec corporation if you will operate mainly in Quebec, and a federal corporation if you want name protection across Canada. A federal corporation doing business in Quebec must still register with the Quebec registry; compare both on our federal incorporation page.

The NEQ is the 10-digit number the Registraire des entreprises assigns to every business registered in Quebec. You use it to identify your business with Quebec government departments and agencies.

Yes, if you do business under a name other than your own first and last name. Freelancers and self-employed people can register through our sole proprietorship service.

Your business name must have a French version under the Charter of the French Language, but a version in another language can be used alongside it. The Office québécois de la langue française explains the naming rules.

A numbered company uses its registration number as its name, such as “1234-5678 Québec inc.” It needs no name search, which makes it a quick option when you have not chosen a business name.

You need a NUANS report for a named federal or Ontario corporation, but not for a Quebec corporation or a numbered company. Order one through our NUANS and name approval service.

Yes. Quebec has no Canadian-residency requirement for directors, so non-residents can incorporate or register a branch through our foreign-owned business services.

It is the yearly filing every registered business in Quebec must submit to confirm or update its information with the Registraire des entreprises. Missing it can lead to penalties and, eventually, cancellation of your registration; our corporate filing service handles it.

You generally must register once your taxable sales pass $30,000 over four consecutive calendar quarters, the small-supplier threshold. Revenu Québec explains the rules, and we can open your QST account.

After registration, you may need a CRA business number, GST/QST accounts, and a CNESST account if you hire employees. Keeping a minute book and filing your annual declaration keeps your company in good standing.

We check your name, documents, and details before submission to avoid rejected filings, and we handle the process in French or English. You get one team for every registry, from incorporation to annual filings.
