And that's a breeze in Canada. Starting from a position of complete ignorance, I had everything finalized in a day and only had to leave my home to get a document notarized by a lawyer around the corner. Total out-of-pocket was around $200.

If you are Canadian and want to start a business, you can find everything you need on starting (and running) a corporation here: http://www.ic.gc.ca/cgi-bin/sc_mrksv/corpdir/corpFiling/regi...

See, that's my issue. You started a corporation, which of course is a business, but a business in Canada is not always a corporation. A sole proprietorship is a perfectly valid legal entity, although without the limited liability aspect.
