not sure how much help legalzoom will be for Canada...but I think you get the best information by going directly to the local government and ask them..after all they will be the ones you ultimately have to answer to...not those of us on the forum

here in Canada it's about the same as in the USA in principle.

also real easy to DIY.

of course if you are setting up a large corporation then better get a law firm and an accountant right from the start.

Depends if you're looking at launching a brick and mortar store or if it will be strictly online.

You can register your business name w/ Ontario online here:
Register / Renew / Change

You then need to apply for an RST# so that you can remit any PST you collect for orders shipped w/in Ontario.

If you plan on making $30k or more annually, you'll also need to collect GST and apply for that as well.

Other than incorporating, that's all you need to start a legal online business in Ontario.

RST = retail sales tax, you can go through the website above, or you can contact your local enterprise centre, they can walk you through it. The problem is sometimes they bulk many towns into one centre so there may not be one close to you.
