Can I incorporate without any real assets

[Ryan OMalley]

Within the next year or so, I will be taking over the family business, as my father will be retiring. The business is not in anyway real estate related, but I'm wondering if I can incorporate myself and take over as an "investment company". Eventually I would like to use some of the money from the business to start investing in real estate. Does anyone know if this is possible to do? Can I incorporate myself without actually having any real assets? Any advise would be appreciated.
