Starting a Canadian Investment Club in Ontario. 10 people will contribute $100 each per month for 5+ years. We are looking to do a stock buy every 1 - 2 months. What do I need to know from a tax standpoint? How should I structure the club (i.e. Incorporation has too many fees)? Also I'd love tips, advice or Canadian specific links from anyone who has done something similar. Google provides great American info but I didn't find stuff for Canucks!

Legal/finance filter: Is it ok to advertise a business or investment for sale? So let's say I have a great business idea or investment idea or an actual business - and I want to sell part of it. Or garner investors. Can I just place ads (in papers or in direct mailings) asking for investors? Or am I bound by stacks of tricky SEC rules and Fed/State investment rules ? [more inside]
