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, 1000044599 Canada Inc. 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 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 Canada Inc.

Why I need Name Approval?

Prior to incorporate a named federal corporation, the name must be pre-approved by Corporations Canada. To submit a name pre-approval request, Corporations Canada asks for a valid Nuans report. Therefore, reserving a valid Nuans report is the first step, obtaining the name pre-approval is the second step and registering the corporation is the third step.

Which Legal Ending to choose?

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.

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.

What is a numbered company with a trade name?

The biggest advantage of a numbered company is is skipping the Nuans name search and name approval step. Therefore, the incorporation process is relatively faster and less expensive. However, the biggest disadvantage of a numbered company is, it does not have have a brand name for the purpose of marketing, business signs, and developing a brand. This disadvantage can be easily resoloved by adding a trade name.

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.

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?

What does shareholder mean?

In simple language, the shareholders are the owners of the corporation. If a corporation has 1 shareholder, regardless of the number of shares, the single shareholder owns 100% of the corporation.

How to set up share class?

A corporation has 2 shareholders: John and Mike. Case 1: Both owners have rights to vote: Assign class A to both. Case 2: Only John has voting rights: Assign class A to John and class B to Mike.

How to set up share number?

Share numbers must be whole numbers. Case 1: John, Mike and Ali own same percentage: Assign exact same number to each. Case 2: John owns 40%, Mike owns 30% and Ali owns 30%: Assign shares 40 to John, 30 to Mike and 30 to Ali. Case 3: Avoid decimals by scaling up the proportion. E.g., for 51%, 24.5%, 24.5%, assign 102, 49, and 49 shares.

Why extra-provincial registration is mandatory?

Extra-provincial registration is the necessary legal procedure for registering a federal corporation in every Canadian province or territory where it operates, ensuring adherence to local regulations. Although federal incorporation allows for business activities throughout Canada, this process is essential to formally create a legal presence, pay provincial taxes, open bank accounts, or maintain offices in those areas.

Can I open a bank account without an extra provincial registration?

Extra-provincial registration is a regulatory requirement for conducting business activities. As such, it is legally essential for any operations, including the opening of a bank account.

Is WCB registration mandatory?

Workers' Compensation Board (commonly known as WCB, WSIB in Ontario, WorkSafeBC in BC, WorkSafeNB in NB, CNESST in Quebec, WSCC in NWT & Nunavut, WorkplaceNL in NL ) registration is the essential legal step for incorporated businesses to register with their provincial workers' compensation board, usually within 10 days of employing your first worker. This process offers no-fault insurance for workplace injuries, covering both medical costs and wage replacement, while also shielding the corporation from legal action.

Who needs a GST account?

If you sell products and services in Canada and collect GST/HST from your Customers, then GST/HST Account Number is Required. Customer's invoice or receipt must show the HST number. Unable to collect HST may cause penalty by CRA.

What is Corporate Support?

Yes, we offer 3 types of post-incorporation and maintenance service: Annual Return: At the end of the year, we will file the mandatory annual corporate report for you. Phone Support: Includes corporate updates (address change, director's change, shareholder change, officer change). Complete Maintenance: Annual Return + Phone Support + Notice of Changes.

Why do I need Annual Return?

The Annual Report must be filed with the BC Corporate Registry for every BC corporation every year (regardless of whether you conducted business) to keep the corporation in "Good Standing." Failure to file the Annual Report can eventually lead to the corporation being dissolved by the government.

What is domain name?

We recommend reserving a domain name in your business name. If your domain name is taken by a competitor, it could be difficult to establish your brand and continue the business without a proper website. (example: www.yourbusinessname.ca)

What is Business Email address?

A Business Email Address is the one that has your business name in it and will be used for business communications that is based on your custom domain. (example: CustomName@companyname.com)
