    About this ebook

    Congratulations on picking up this book and taking time to educate yourself about one of the most liberating and rewarding steps you are about to take.

    My name is Benjamin Lashar. I am a Canadian who moved to the USA 25 years ago to pursue a successful corporate career. But the global economic crisis of 2008 forced my employer to lay me off. I took a nice severance offer and moved back to Canada with my wife and children to be close to our family.

    After a year relaxing and contemplating next steps, I started a business in Ontario that has grown successfully over the last few years. Since then I have registered more businesses as well as helped others in my family and friends circle do the same.

    I’ve learned a lot about the business registration process over the last several years, and I have written this book to help you understand the implications of registering a business in Ontario, as well as how to go about doing so.

    This book also serves as an efficient way to respond to some of the most common questions I received about the process. Rather than respond individually, it is my hope that this book reaches far more than whom I can reach personally and help everyone searching for this information.
    As an entrepreneur and successful multi business owner, I hope you will find this information helpful and

    actionable so that you too can take advantage of it immediately.

    I wish you all the best

    Ben Lashar
