What Our Clients Are Saying
Incorporating a BC Benefit Company – What Is It and Why Consider One?
Frequently Asked Questions
What Is a BC Benefit Company?
A Benefit Company is a for-profit corporation registered under British Columbia’s Business Corporations Act that commits to creating a material positive impact on society and the environment. Unlike standard corporations, it balances profit with purpose, giving you legal protection to prioritize social responsibility.
Is a Benefit Company the same as a BC Corp?
No. A Benefit Company is a legal status under BC law. A B Corp is a certification by the non-profit B Lab. A BC Benefit Company may choose to become B Corp certified, but the two are separate.
What is considered a “public benefit”?
A public benefit is a positive impact on society or the environment, such as improving health, promoting sustainability, or supporting communities.
Does a Benefit Company still make a profit?
Yes. It’s a for-profit business that must still generate revenue—but it is legally required to balance profit with purpose.
Does it offer limited liability protection?
Yes. Just like any other BC corporation, a Benefit Company provides limited liability to its shareholders.
