Written by:
When you incorporate a business in Canada, understanding the difference between a director and a shareholder is essential. In this episode, we break down what each role actually means, how ownership differs from management, and why the distinction matters for decision-making, liability, and corporate compliance. We also discuss how one person can sometimes hold multiple roles in a corporation, what responsibilities directors take on, and how shareholders influence the direction of the business through ownership and voting rights. Whether you’re incorporating for the first time or trying to better understand corporate structure, this episode helps simplify the fundamentals of running a corporation in Canada.
