body: I am the CEO and CMO of a new software based startup in Canada. I have little to no knowledge of company registration rules. I would like to not only register my startup in Canada, but also be recognized internationally as a company.
  
  
  * I was wondering first of all when is the best time to make the startup a company? (Right at the start? When the product is done and available? As soon as money gets involved?)
  * What makes a company, a company in the eyes of the law?
  * What is the thing I have to do in order to register my startup as a company?
  
  
  P-S: I do know that this is 3 questions, but they are very closely related and I didn't feel like creating 3 different questions and having all the info scatter.
