  • 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: N.W.T Name Request & Approval (replaces NUANS) Custom By-laws & Resolutions (The Notice of Articles is the primary public document) CRA Account Setup WSCC 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 N.W.T-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 N.W.T 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 N.W.T companies must file an Annual Report with the N.W.T 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 (N.W.T'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.
  • Do you offer post-incorporation services?
    Yes, we provide three post-incorporation and maintenance options for N.W.T companies: Annual Report Filing – We submit your required annual corporate report to the N.W.T 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).

    • 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 N.W.T.
    • Any rules for corporation's name?
      Generally a name should have two elements: distinctive and descriptive.
