- GST/HST and payroll accounts get missed during Business Number registration
- Bylaws, minute books, and share certificates are left unfinished
- Director residency rules catch foreign owners off guard at federal filing
- Operating in another province without an extra-provincial registration
- ISC registers are never prepared or kept up to date
