hey everyone!
i hope you guys can direct me or help me in some form. I tried calling government offices but they really dont know; keep directing me to different offices etc. but anyways, hopefully someone in this forum has some background or knowledge (know-how). here is the issue...
i have 4 ppl in asian who are willing to open/operate a business from canada. they are non residents/citizens. from that you can conclude that none of them can register a business in canada. what they want is, open a business in canada (all 4 of them together) and sell (export) their product through agencies in asian (having a canadian name to it)....they would like me to do some form of administrative work (not be involved financially, rather do the tax return, file paperwork etc).
b/c they are not citizens etc, partnership is out of the question. Sole prop. under my name is not likely b/c they would not like that (as all of them have stakes in the company and i will be investing no money, rather serve as a sole employee of the company), so SOLE PROP. is out of the questions.
corporation seems like the only legit. solution, however, will i have to be involved financially? or can i register the corp. under my name and be a stakeholder and do the paperwork? please note the other 4 stakeholders would take the ceo and other positions and are all non residents.
so from reading all this, hopefully you guys can clear somethings out for me or other options you see. they would like to get an answer soon so i would like to tell me what options we have and what we can do. please let me know if you guys have any input or any opinion. thxs
cheers,
