  • Base Services & Fees

  • Customize Your Order

  • Help Section

  • What is a numbered company?
    When incorporating, a company is assigned an incorporation number. If you choose not to reserve a custom name, this number becomes its official name—for example, 987654 B.C. Ltd. The main advantage is that it skips the mandatory Name Request (Name Approval) process, which saves time and reduces costs. However, it lacks a marketable brand name for public use.
  • What services can be added?
    With an experienced in-house legal and accounting team, we offer a full suite of incorporation and corporate maintenance services, including: BC Name Request & Approval (replaces NUANS) Custom By-laws & Resolutions (The Notice of Articles is the primary public document) CRA Account Setup WorkSafeBC Registration (replaces WCB/WSIB) Corporate Seal & Minute Book Annual Report Filings & Corporate Maintenance Domain name reservation Business Address Services Express Registration Service ...and much more
  • Can I get help placing an order?
    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 [Insert your BC-friendly number here, or keep 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 Ltd. A Numbered Corporation does not include a custom name. Instead, a number is assigned by the BC Corporate Registry—e.g., 1000044599 B.C. Inc.
  • Is It a one-time fee?
    Yes, incorporation is a one-time payment with no recurring monthly or annual fees from us. However, all BC companies must file an Annual Report with the BC Corporate Registry each year to maintain their active status, which incurs a small annual government fee.
  • Are the corporate documents legally valid?
    Absolutely. The Certificate of Incorporation and Notice of Articles (BC's equivalent to Articles of Incorporation) are issued by the official BC Corporate Registry under the Business Corporations Act (BCA). Our in-house legal team drafts the supporting resolutions and corporate records.
  • 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—including the Certificate of Incorporation and Notice of Articles—either by email or postal mail, depending on your preference.
  • What is the BC Company Password?
    The BC Company Password is a password for businesses incorporated in British Columbia. It lets your business access the government's "Corporate Online" services.

    You need this password to do important tasks online, such as:
    • Filing your Annual Report
    • Submitting a Notice of Change (like updating your company's address or directors)
  • Do you offer post-incorporation services?
    Yes, we provide three post-incorporation and maintenance options for BC companies: Annual Report Filing – We submit your required annual corporate report to the BC Registry. Phone Support – Get help with questions and updates. Complete Maintenance – Includes Annual Report Filing, Phone Support, and Notices of Change (e.g., director or address updates).

    • We Obtain Name Pre-Approval for You

    • Trade Name / DBA

    • Adding a Trade Name is a very common practice by business owners to take advantage on business sign, bank cheque, business card, brand logo, and future trademark. An example: "1234567 B.C. 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

    • Why name approval is required?
      A Name pre-approval (also known as name request) is required for the use of any name (other than a person's given name) as the name of a company (proprietorship, partnership, society, cooperative or corporation). The name request is the first step in the process of registering a business name with the Province of BC.
    • Any rules for corporation's name?
      Generally a name should have two elements: distinctive and descriptive. The distinctive element can't be common English word, it has to be unique or made up words while descriptive element can be common English words. An example is "Mike Construction". In this name 'Mike' is the distinctive/unique element; 'Construction' is the descriptive element. Put your ideal name, if doesn't work, we will guide you.
    • Which Legal Ending to choose?
      Every corporation must have legal ending after the legal name of the corporation. Government offers 6 legal ending which have same meaning. You may choose the option that looks good with the business name.
    • Is there any guidelines for names?
      A corporation’s name in BC generally needs three components: Distinctive Element (a unique word like “Mike”), Descriptive Element (a common word describing activity like “Construction”), and a Corporate Designation (a legal ending like "Ltd."). Example: Mike Construction Ltd. Enter your preferred name, and we'll help if adjustments are needed for approval.
    • What is a numbered company with a trade name?
      The biggest advantage of a numbered company is skipping the BC Name Request step, making incorporation faster and less expensive. This disadvantage (no brand name) is easily resolved by adding a Trade Name. The legal name remains the number, but the public-facing name is the trade name (e.g., 987654 B.C. Ltd. operating as Mike Construction).
    • What are the benefits of a trade name?
      A trade name (also called an Operating Name) allows a company to operate under a different name than its legal one. Benefits include: a) Shortening the name for advertising, signage, and brand development. b) Helping meet requirements for certain municipal permits or licenses. c) Creating a recognizable brand identity.

    • A corporation is required to have a physical registered office and records office address in British Columbia. P.O. box or virtual mailbox addresses are not acceptable. If you do not have a physical address, we offer address and mail scanning services.

    • Help Section

    • What are the requirements for a corporation’s address?
      The corporation must maintain a Registered Office Address and a Records Office Address in British Columbia. These must be physical locations. P.O. Boxes and virtual addresses are not permitted for the Registered Office Address.
    • 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 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 British Columbia. 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 filing a Notice of Change with the BC Corporate Registry. Many businesses initially use a residential address during incorporation and update it later once they acquire a commercial or office location.

    • Electronic vs. Printed Documents
      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 10 business days ahead in British Columbia.
    • What is the main activity?
      The main activity refers to your business’s primary line of work. Please provide one activity, described in one or two words, so we can accurately match it with the options in the government’s classification system.

    • Help Section

    • Impact of adding additional director(s)
      Each director has equal power and control over the corporation (by majority vote). The directors manage the corporation's business. You may add an additional director whom you trust. Note: BC has no residency requirement for directors; they can be from anywhere in the world.
    • 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 by filing a Notice of Change with the BC Corporate Registry. If you opt for our Complete Maintenance package, director changes can be made at no additional cost.
    • What are the requirements to be a director?
      A director is responsible for overseeing the corporation's operations. To qualify as a director in BC: Must be 18 years or older. Must be an individual (not another corporation). Must not be bankrupt. (BC has no residency requirement).
    • Are you incorporating on behalf of a alient?
      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) or director(s) of the corporation. Note: We do not contact directors directly. All communication is handled through the person listed in the billing address.

    • Custom Clauses & Provisions

    • The classes and any maximum number of shares that the corporation is authorized to issue:

    • Other provisions, if any. Enter other provisions, or if no other provisions enter “None”

    • Help Section

    • What is standard clause in the articles?
      Standard provisions are used by default in the Notice of Articles and the internal By-laws for a wide range of standard BC businesses and everyday operations. These are flexible and non-restrictive.
    • May I amend the articles?
      Yes. The initial Notice of Articles is filed with the government. After incorporation, these articles can be modified by filing Articles of Amendment with the BC Corporate Registry, along with the required fees.
    • What is company bylaws & minutes?
      Corporate By-laws (or company constitution) are the internal rules, rights, and policies set by a corporation. They, along with the Minutes (records of meetings), are part of the required Corporate Records that ensure no rules conflict with the BC Business Corporations Act (BCA). Banks often require By-laws to open an account.
    • May I customize share classes?
      In the next section, you will be asked to choose share classes. The default structure works for most small businesses, but you may customize the classes, rights, and restrictions to align with a complex ownership or tax plan.
    • Is this expense tax ceditable?
      Yes, the expense is tax creditable. When you incorporate a company, the expenses are called business development expenses which are tax creditable.

    • Personalized Share Classes

    • Accepted file types: pdf, doc, docx, Max. file size: 8 MB.

    • Important: Please only upload saved files on local storage. Uploading directly from cloud storage (Google Drive, iCloud, Dropbox) will cause errors.

    • Share Structure

    • Help Section

    • What is share and why need it?
      Since a corporation is a separate legal entity from its owners, it is owned only by owning its shares. The corporation's capital and equity are divided into pieces, and each piece is called a share. Owning shares gives you a proportional claim on the company's profits and assets.
    • Can I change share price in future?
      For simplicity of corporate filing, most people set up a low or nominal share price (like $1) in the beginning. Eventually, the authorized share capital (including share price and share numbers) can be adjusted later by filing Articles of Amendment and updating your corporate records.
