When you are seeking work as an independent contractor, having an incorporated company, which is properly structured and has its corporate tax identification number and other registrations completed (or having taken steps to do so immediately with an experienced corporate lawyer), instills confidence in the hiring company that there won’t be a delay in commencing the contractor’s engagement and that the contractor knows what they are doing, as opposed to creating an administrative nightmare for the hiring company’s staff to get the contractor operational (and potentially create problems for the hiring company if the contractor’s internal corporate arrangements attract the unwanted attention of the Canada Revenue Agency, WCB or other governmental / regulatory entities).
One of the greatest drawbacks when pursuing a position as an independent contractor is a lack of preparation, while being ready to proceed immediately with the administrative pre-requisites in places for a fully functioning incorporated independent contractor reflects the kind of preparation and work that most hiring companies seek and prefer. Making the right first impression is critical, as it not strengthens your chances for attaining the work assignment, but it also enables you to more appropriately negotiate the terms of the work assignment, such that you are not underselling yourself, but instead securing a pay arrangement that is in line with your talents and work experience.
Don't sell yourself by not undertaking the work that is necessary to have an incorporated entity through with your might undertake the work as an independent contractor, together with have that lawyer review and advise you on the independent contractor agreement that you will be required to sign off on.
