What is the Startup Bundle?
The Startup Bundle is for early stage co-founders with ambitions to create (or reorganize) a startup that is built to attract investment and grow — fast. The bundle includes a Lawyer Assisted Incorporation, a Complex Shareholder Agreement, and a Founder Employment Agreement (Complex Employment Agreement).
Pricing and Scope
Establish your co-founder stakes and responsibilities, attract top talent, and have a trusted legal ally from the start — sloppy corporations are deal-breakers for investors. Enter the Startup Bundle.
Starts at $2,480 + Tax
Where customization efforts exceed the typical threshold, a custom price quotation is suitable. Your lawyer will always seek your approval on custom quotes before proceeding — no surprises. |
Incorporation (or restructure)Government fees vary by province and range from $200 - $500. Incorporation is a business structure that involves the creation of an independent legal entity that is recognized by the Canadian government. The corporation has the same rights as a person and is considered a separate legal entity. Corporations are the most common business structure in Canada and for good reason; incorporating your business can reduce your tax burden, limit your personal liability, give your business a strong foundation to build on, and more.

Shareholder AgreementShareholder Agreements are used by incorporated businesses with multiple owners, or shareholders and are essential for organizing your business to grow. They govern the relationship between shareholders and their relationship with the corporation. Topics covered in a Shareholder Agreement often include how shares can be issued or transferred, the types of business decisions that require shareholder approval, and protections for minority shareholders. To learn more about custom Shareholder Agreements, visit the Shareholder Agreement Info Sheet. |
Founder Employment AgreementEmployment Agreements govern the relationship between an employer and an employee and they are especially important when it comes to outlining the roles of your founding team. Complex Employment Agreements are suitable for high-level employees (like the founders) and exceed the minimum basic employment standards. To learn more about custom Employment Agreements, visit the Employment Agreement Info Sheet. |
SubstitutionsWe know that not every startup is the same and their needs vary. We allow you to substitute other legal services into your startup bundle if you don't need a Shareholder or Employment Agreement, however prices may vary. Your lawyer will be able to provide you insight and pricing clarity. |
