This one answers what comes after you sign: which address a Canadian franchisee registers their business under, where a franchisor's disclosure document gets served, and the narrow band of home-based and mobile franchises where a virtual address actually fits. https://useauteur.com/blog/non-resident-landlord-section-216-address?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=feed https://useauteur.com/blog/non-resident-landlord-section-216-address Thu, 11 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT CRA & Tax A non-resident's Canadian rental income faces 25% Part XIII withholding unless they elect under Section 216 — and which address the CRA actually needs. https://useauteur.com/blog/cooperative-corporation-business-address-canada?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=feed https://useauteur.com/blog/cooperative-corporation-business-address-canada Thu, 11 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT Business Setup What address goes in a Canadian co-op's incorporation application — registered office federally and in BC, head office in Ontario — and why a PO box fails. https://useauteur.com/blog/canadian-health-spending-account-hsa-business-address?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=feed https://useauteur.com/blog/canadian-health-spending-account-hsa-business-address Wed, 10 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT Banking A Canadian Health Spending Account is a Private Health Services Plan under the Income Tax Act — not the US savings account that shares the acronym.

Here is whose, where the return goes, and how the bare-trust exemption reads now. https://useauteur.com/blog/general-partnership-business-address-canada?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=feed https://useauteur.com/blog/general-partnership-business-address-canada Tue, 26 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT Business Setup A Canadian general partnership has no separate legal personality, so every partner carries unlimited joint and several liability — and the address you register goes on a public provincial registry under each partner's name.
