Professional Corporations

As regulated professionals, audiologists and speech-language pathologists have the option of incorporating their practice as a professional corporation. 

If you require legal and/or financial advice regarding incorporation, you must contact a lawyer and/or an accountant.
Benefits of professional corporations are:

• Access to external investment funding
• Advantages of corporate tax rules
• Corporate status

Key features of professional corporations are:

1. Professional liability is not limited by incorporation.
2. The name of the professional corporation must include the words “Professional Corporation” or “Société Professionelle” and cannot be a number name.
3. The shareholders of a professional corporation must be members of the College and must be from the same profession.
4. The professional corporation may not carry on a business other than the practice of the profession.

To become a “professional corporation”, you may apply to obtain a Certificate of Authorization from CASLPO.
