How It Helps Your Business English
Around twenty-six terms, each answered in a short paragraph: sole proprietorship, general partnership, incorporation and the LLC question in Canada; company key, trade name, DBA and extra provincial license; federal and Ontario annual returns, notice of change and minute book; certificate of status, NUANS report and PPSA search; trademark, shareholder agreement, dropshipping and franchise.
You look up the term you have met, read the paragraph that answers it, and follow the link under most entries to a longer guide on that one topic. Reading a whole section at a time works when you are at that stage: the structures section while you are choosing between a sole proprietorship and a corporation, the filings section once the company exists. The headings are questions, so you can find a term by the question you would ask.
