Incorporation. Operations. Pipeline. Quotes. Invoicing. Contracts. The whole back office, one platform.

You've been building everyone else's dream. It's time to build yours. Your name on the business. Your rules. Your reputation.

How It Works

  1. Pick what kind of company to build — general contracting, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, concrete, framing, demolition, landscaping, engineering, or any AEC specialty.
  2. Set up your entire company in a few clicks — incorporation, CRA registration, WSIB, trade licensing, insurance, safety compliance, banking, payroll, and bid readiness.
  3. Bid on opportunities matched to you — 446,000+ open opportunities in Ontario right now. Someone is going to win them. Why not you?

Your company formed, your operations running, and projects matched to what you do. Takes minutes, not months.

Already have a business?

A lawyer helps you incorporate. An accountant files your taxes. Neither one gets you licensed, insured, compliant, bidding on work, and managing a pipeline. With AEC Stack you handle the full picture yourself — incorporation through operations, project matching, and team management — without needing to hire an office manager, compliance tracker, or bookkeeper.
Where is AEC Stack available?
Ontario, Canada right now. Every regulation, license, and registration requirement is built deep for the province. Expanding across Canada.
What do I need to get started?
Your area of expertise and your location. That's it. Read the 11 free guides at aecstack.com/guides to understand every step, or jump straight in.
