I have officially entered the maze of administrivia necessary to create an on-paper business. I fully expect this to take a week or more while I chase pointers and wait for approvals to grind through different bureaucracies.

I'm trying to do this as fast as I can, but I think the System is fine-tuned to normalize all such efforts at expediency. This afternoon, for example, I hauled ass to get one form (MUST BE TYPED, DO NOT FAX) to the State House before 5. Got there just after 4:30, with everything still open, including the corporations department filings window, staffed with a sullen man whose sole job was apparently telling people that they close at 4.

I see that ITA has nerdbait recruitment ads all over the T. It's looking like 2000 again, gord bless them. I hope they're not being irrationally exuberant.

Knowing what I know, they're not. Really. I can't say why though.

In Canada you can incorporate nationally online for a grand total of $220 (that's about $180 to you.) And if you live in most provinces, the required provincial filings are done automagically as part of the federal filing. I have literally incorporated in my pyjamas (is that too much information?)

:-D

It can take a few days to read over the instructions to ensure you understand what you're doing, but it's really just a matter of RTFM and you're good to go.

Typed? Typed? It's getting harder and harder to find an actual working typewriter these days. The computer lab I used to go to had one in the corner for some reason (maybe for typing envelopes). They actually put a sign on it [Typewriter] -- Either someone went 'sign happy' or maybe some people weren't sure what it was.
