Canadian Limited Partnership: Benefits
Why should you opt for Canada? Let’s look at the main advantages that a Canadian partnership may give:
- You will not be required to pay any corporate tax as the partnership is not a Canadian tax resident, which means that it is not liable for any local taxes.
- The LP can be established remotely, which may be a great advantage to some of you.
- All limited partners will bear limited liability.
- A Canadian LP has a high reputation, which means that you can open a bank account for it in virtually any country if you meet the requirements set by the bank.
- Get access to the country’s diversified economy and other solvent markets (for example, you may look at the US market located nearby).
- Individuals and legal entities that are appointed as partners can be residents of any country.
- There are no authorized capital requirements that you have to meet
Mind that you will need to submit additional documents and meet more stringent verification requirements if you decide to use a foreign legal entity as a partner, so we recommend doing so only if you need to. However, this possibility exists, and you are free to use it.
We can establish a limited partnership in Canada for you in a matter of 2 weeks from the date we receive all duly completed documents from you. An LP is required to have a registered office in Canada.
We would like to remind you that even a limited partnership must have one partner who bears an unlimited liability for the entity’s debts (called a general partner), while all the remaining partners can be limited (the liability is limited by the amount of their contribution).
Canadian LP Registration: Documents
Here is a list of documents that each partner will need to provide to establish a limited partnership in Canada:
- A passport copy (certified)
- Proof of the residential address (a utility bill or a bank statement issued no more than 2 months ago)
- A reference letter provided by a banking institution you have been cooperating with for at least 2 years
What is more, think of a suitable name for your partnership. It should meet certain requirements: for instance, it cannot include the general partner’s name or the name of a company that the latter owns.
You will need to have your documents certified and translated into English if the language of the originals differs.
Canadian Limited Partnership: Establishment and Maintenance Costs
The limited partnership registration package costs 3,500 euros, and it includes the following services:
- State duties
- Limited partnership registration procedure
- Checking whether the name you have suggested for your partnership is unique
- Legal address for one year
- Original corporate documents that will be sent to you by courier service to any country
- Services of a registered agent for 1 year
- Mailing address for the letters sent by local authorities for one year
The LP is subject to annual renewal which costs 3,000 euros.
A Business Account in Belize
Why do we recommend Belize for your corporate banking (in addition to diversification)? Well, this is one of the best offshore financial hubs where individuals and legal entities can obtain top-notch services at reasonable fees. However, there are restrictions by country: the local banks do not cooperate with customers from Russia, Crimea, and Belarus, as well as the territories blacklisted by FATF/OECD.
We will recommend a particular bank that offers world-class services. You will be able to enjoy great banking for your business, invest/multiply your capital, open demand/fixed-term accounts, and get prepaid VISA cards. Like any modern bank, the Belizean institution has an advanced system that will allow you to securely manage your account from afar using a mobile app or an online platform. The account can be opened without your personal presence (the turnkey service costs 3,999 euros).
Get in touch with our expert to find out what documents you will need to submit. You will get a fully functional account within two weeks of package submission.
