  • Help Section

  • What is a numbered company?
    When incorporating a company, it’s assigned a corporation number. If you choose not to name your business, this number becomes its official name—for example, 987654 Alberta Ltd. The main advantage of a numbered company is that it skips the NUANS name search and approval process, which saves time and reduces costs. However, the downside is that it doesn’t provide a marketable brand name for use in advertising, signage, or brand development.
  • What services can be added?
    With an experienced in-house legal and accounting team, Incorporation Agency Canada is a trusted registered member of multiple government units. We offer a full suite of incorporation and corporate maintenance services, including:

    Yes! Our customer service team is available to offer general assistance (note: we do not provide legal advice). You can reach us by phone at 647-945-8893 during business hours.
  • What is a Named Corporation?
    A Named Corporation allows you to select a custom business name—e.g., Johnson Car Wash Inc. A Numbered Corporation does not include a custom name. Instead, a number is assigned by the government—e.g., 1000044599 Alberta Ltd.
  • Is It a one-time fee?
    Yes, incorporation is a one-time payment with no recurring monthly or annual fees.
  • Are the corporate documents legally valid?
    Absolutely. The Certificate of Incorporation and Articles of Incorporation are issued by the official Corporate Registry. Our in-house legal team drafts the articles, and you may opt for custom versions to fit your specific needs.
  • How will I receive the documents?
    You can place an order online using a credit card or e-transfer. Once your order is reviewed and processed, we’ll register the company and deliver the documents either by email or postal mail, depending on your preference.

    • Alberta Trade Name / Operating Name

    • Adding a Trade Name is very common practice by business owners to take advantage on business sign, bank cheque, business card, brand logo, and future trademark. An example: "987654 Alberta Ltd." is the legal name and "Joe Movers" is the trade name.
    • Adding a Trade Name is very common practice by business owners to take advantage on business sign, bank cheque, business card, brand logo, and future trademark. An example: the legal name of walmart is "Wal-Mart Stores, Inc." whille its trade name is "Walmart".
    • Help Section

    • What Is a Valid NUANS Report?
      NUANS, or Newly Upgraded Automated Name Search, is a federal database utilized to verify if there are any existing business names that could potentially conflict with your intended name. For registering a business in a province (Ontario, Alberta, New Brunswick, PEI), only the NUANS Reservation Report specific to that province is accepted. Keep in mind that a federal NUANS report cannot be used for this purpose.
    • Is there any guidelines for name?
      A corporation’s name generally needs two components:
      Distinctive: A unique or invented word that sets your name apart (e.g., “Mike”)
      Descriptive: A common word describing your business activity (e.g., “Construction”) Example: Mike Construction “Mike” is distinctive, “Construction” is descriptive. Enter your preferred name, and we’ll help if adjustments are needed for approval
    • Why need a legal ending?
      By law, every corporate name must include a legal ending. The government allows six options (like Inc., Ltd., or Corp.), all of which carry the same meaning. Choose the one that complements your business name best.
    • What are the benefits of a trade name?
      Registering a trade name offers several benefits:
      a) It allows you to use a shorter, more marketable name for advertising, business signs, and brand development.
      b) It can simplify the process of obtaining municipal licenses and permits.
      c) It creates a public record of your business name, which can be a foundational step toward securing a trademark in the future.
    • What is a numbered company with a trade name?
      The main advantage of a numbered company is skipping the NUANS name search and approval step, which makes the incorporation process faster and less expensive. The primary disadvantage is that the assigned number (e.g., 123456 Alberta Ltd.) isn't a marketable brand name. This drawback can be easily resolved by registering a trade name, which allows you to operate under a more memorable name for marketing and branding purposes.
    • A corporation is required to have a physical registered office address in Alberta. P.O. box or virtual mail box address is not acceptable. If you do not have a physical address, we offer address and mail scanning service.
    • Help Section

    • What is the difference between the 2 Address options?
      The address service alone with provide your company with a registered address that will allow for it to comply with the registration requirements. This address is not for operations. Solely for registration purposes. The mail scanning to email service is for forwarding all email digitally to you if the address receives any government-related mail for your company.
    • What are the requirements for a corporation’s address?
      • The address must be a physical location within Alberta.
      • P.O. Boxes and virtual addresses are not permitted.
      • All official correspondence and legal documents related to the corporation will be sent to this address.
    • What Is an Address Service?
      The Address Service is an annual mail-handling and document-scanning solution we offer to corporations that do not have a local physical address in Alberta. This service can be renewed yearly for a similar fee. Any government or corporation-related mail received on your behalf will be scanned and emailed directly to you.
    • How can I change my address in the future?
      You can update your corporation’s registered address at any time by paying the applicable filing fee. Many businesses initially use a home or residential address during incorporation and update it later once they acquire a commercial or office location.

      If you select electronic documents, we will email PDF copies to the billing email address you provide. You also have the option to receive both: electronic copies by email and printed hard copies sent by mail.
    • Can I set a future incorporation date?
      Yes, you can choose a future date for incorporation. However, the selected date must be no earlier than today and no more than 30 days ahead.
    • What is the main activity?

    • Impact of adding additional director(s)
      Each director has equal power and control over the corporation. The Second director can remove the primary director and vice versa. Therefore, you may add an additional director whom you trust.
    • Can I add or remove a director later?
      Yes. At least one director must be listed at the time of incorporation. You can update the director information at any time in the future. If you opt for our Complete Maintenance package (available in the next steps), director changes can be made at no additional cost.
    • What are the requirements to be a director?
      A director is responsible for managing the business and affairs of the corporation. To qualify as a director for an Alberta corporation, an individual: 1. Must be 18 years of age or older. 2. Must not be in a status of bankruptcy. 3. At least 25% of the directors must be resident Canadians. If the corporation has fewer than four directors, at least one must be a resident Canadian.

      If you are a lawyer, accountant, or service provider setting up the corporation for a client, do not enter your own name in this section. It should reflect the actual owner(s) of the corporation.
      Note: We do not contact directors directly. All communication is handled through the person listed in the billing address.

    • Share Structure

    • Help Section

    • What is share and why need it?
      Since a corporation is a separate legal entity than its owners, it could owned only by owning its shares. The corporation's assets and stocks are go split into pieces and each of these pieces is called share. If a corporation issues 100 shares with $1 each, the total net worth of the corporation is 100x$1=$100.
    • Can I change share price in future?
      For simplicity of corporate filing, most people set up $1 share price in the beginning. Eventually, the share price and share numbers could be increased.
    • What is Class A and B shares?
      A corporation's stock are split into shares. Those who own the shares, are in fact the owners of the corporation. Therefore, to make a classification of owners, shares are classified. Class A common voting share owners have voting rights to change the corporation's policies and rules. Class B common non-voting share owners do not have such rights.
