What are some advantages and disadvantages to setting up a new corporation in Ontario versus extra-provincial registration of an existing corporation?

One major advantage of setting up a new corporation in Ontario is that it can help shield other parts of your existing business from claims relating to doing business in Ontario.

However, if a corporation only intends to do limited business in Ontario (or intends to complete any business within a few years), then it may not be worth the time and/or cost of setting up and maintaining a new Ontario corporation.

There may be other advantages or disadvantages depending on your situation. Please discuss this with us.
