Is It a one-time fee?

Yes, the incorporation service is a one-time payment. However, to maintain your corporation's active status, you must meet yearly requirements:

Annual Return: Must be filed with the PEI Corporate Registry every year within 60 days of your incorporation anniversary.
Good Standing: This filing confirms your company is active and keeps it in "Good Standing" to avoid administrative dissolution.

Our legal team ensures that all supporting resolutions and corporate records are drafted to comply with provincial standards.

How will I receive the documents?

You can place an order online using a credit card or e-transfer. Once processed, we register the company and deliver your documents via secure digital delivery.

This includes your Certificate of Incorporation and Articles of Incorporation, which you can then use to open a business bank account immediately.

Do you offer post-incorporation services?

We provide three maintenance options to ensure your PEI company remains compliant:

Annual Return Filing: We handle the mandatory yearly submission to the PEI Registry for you.
Phone Support: Direct access to help for corporate questions or record updates.

Trade Name / DBA

Trade Name Information

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.

Example:
"1234567 P.E.I. Inc" is the legal name and "Joe Movers" is the trade name.

Trade Name Information

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.

Example:
The legal name of Walmart is "Wal-Mart Stores, Inc." while its trade name is "Walmart".

Help Section

What is a numbered company?

When incorporating, a company is assigned an incorporation number by the province. If you choose not to reserve a custom name, this number becomes its official name—for example, 1234567 P.E.I. Inc.

Main Advantage: It skips the mandatory Name Request (Name Approval) process, which saves time and reduces costs.
Downside: It lacks a marketable brand name for public use, though you can register a Trade Name later.

What is a Named Corporation?

A Named Corporation allows you to select a custom business name (e.g., Johnson Car Wash Ltd.). This requires a formal Name Request and approval from the PEI Registry.

A Numbered Corporation does not have a custom name; instead, a number is assigned automatically (e.g., 1234567 P.E.I. Inc.).

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 PEI.

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 in PEI must have a legal suffix to indicate its status as a limited liability entity. Under the Business Corporations Act, you may choose from the following 6 options:

Incorporated / Inc.
Limited / Ltd.
Corporation / Corp.

Note: All of these carry the exact same legal weight. You should simply choose the one that sounds best with your business name.

Is there any guidelines for names?

A corporation’s name in PEI must be unique and generally requires three specific components to be approved by the Registry:

Distinctive Element: A unique word or "coined" term that identifies your brand (e.g., "Island" or "XYZ").
Descriptive Element: Words that describe the nature of your business activities (e.g., "Consulting" or "Fisheries").
Legal Element: A mandatory corporate designation (e.g., "Inc." or "Ltd.").

Example: XYZ Fisheries Ltd. Enter your preferred name, and our team will review it for compliance before submission.

What is a numbered company with a trade name?

The biggest advantage of a numbered company is skipping the PEI 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., 1234567 P.E.I Ltd. operating as Mike Construction).

What are the benefits of a trade name?

A Trade Name allows your corporation to conduct business under a name other than its legal registered name. Key benefits include:

Branding: Allows for a shorter, more memorable name for websites, signage, and marketing.
Flexibility: One corporation can register multiple trade names to operate different business lines under a single legal entity.
Compliance: Helps satisfy requirements for specific municipal permits or professional licenses that require a specific "Operating Name."

A corporation is required to have a physical registered office and records office address in Prince Edward Island. 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.

What are the requirements for a corporation’s address?

Under the Business Corporations Act, every corporation in PEI must maintain a Registered Office Address and a Records Office Address within the province.

Physical Location: The address must be a physical street address in Prince Edward Island where legal documents can be served.
No P.O. Boxes: A P.O. Box is not permitted for the Registered Office Address.
Residential vs. Commercial: You may use a residential address, but many owners choose a commercial or service address to protect their personal privacy.

What Is an Address Service?

The Address Service is a professional annual solution for corporations that do not have a local physical presence in Prince Edward Island.

This service allows you to comply with provincial law by providing a recognized physical location for your Certificate of Incorporation and Annual Returns. Any correspondence received from the PEI Corporate Registry or the CRA will be handled according to your selected plan (forwarded or scanned).

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 of Registered Office Address via the PEI Online Corporate and Business Registry (OCBR).

Timeline: By law, any change to the registered office address must be reported to the Registry within 15 days of the move. Many businesses start with a service address and transition to their own commercial location as they grow.

Impact of adding additional director(s)

Each director has equal power and control over the corporation (exercised by majority vote). Directors are responsible for managing the corporation's business and affairs.

Trust: You should only add directors whom you trust to make significant financial and operational decisions.
Residency: PEI has no residency requirement for directors; they can be from anywhere in the world.
Note: If none of your directors reside in PEI, the Registry requires a specific legal certificate from a practicing PEI lawyer to be filed alongside your notice.

Can I add or remove a director later?

Yes. At least one director must be listed at the time of incorporation. You can update your board at any time by filing a Notice of Change of Directors with the PEI Corporate Registry.

Reporting Deadline: Any change to the directors (appointments, resignations, or address updates) must be reported within 15 days of the change.
Maintenance: If you opt for our Complete Maintenance package, these government filings are handled by our team at no additional service cost.

What are the requirements to be a director?

A director is an individual responsible for overseeing the corporation's management. To qualify as a director in Prince Edward Island, an individual:

Must be at least 18 years of age.
Must be an individual (a corporation cannot be a director).
Must be of sound mind (not found incapable by a court).
Must not have a status of undischarged bankrupt.

Note: There are no Canadian citizenship or residency requirements to serve as a director for a PEI corporation.

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.

Ownership: This section must reflect the actual owner(s) or director(s) who will hold legal authority.
Communication: We do not contact directors directly. All correspondence regarding the filing is handled through the person listed in the billing and contact 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 Prince Edward Island businesses and everyday operations. These are flexible and non-restrictive.

May I amend the articles?

Yes. The initial Articles of Incorporation are filed with the government to create your company. If your business grows or changes direction, you can modify them later.

Process: Changes are made by filing Articles of Amendment with the Prince Edward Island Corporate Registry.
Typical Changes: This includes changing the corporation's name, altering share structures, or removing restrictions on share transfers.

What is company bylaws & minutes?

Corporate By-laws act as the "internal constitution" of your company, setting the rules for how directors and shareholders interact.

Minutes: These are the formal written records of your initial and annual meetings (or resolutions in writing).
Compliance: Under the PEI Business Corporations Act, you are required to maintain these records in a Minute Book.
Banking: Most Canadian banks will require a signed copy of your By-laws before they will allow you to open a business bank 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. Incorporation fees are generally considered deductible business expenses by the CRA.

Business Start-up Costs: Professional fees, registry fees, and the cost of your minute book are typically deductible in the fiscal year the business begins operations.
Tax Credit: Because these expenses are incurred to earn business income, they can be used to reduce your corporation's taxable income.

Share Classes

Creating a personalized share class means creating specific types of shares, such as Class A, Class B, or preferred shares, that offer varying rights, voting capabilities, and financial interests to shareholders. By introducing these unique share classes, you can retain authority over corporate decisions, handle dividend allocations, and dictate how assets are divided in the event of liquidation of the corporation.

What does shareholder mean?

In simple terms, shareholders are the owners of a corporation. Ownership is determined by the number of shares each person holds.

If a corporation has one shareholder, that person owns 100% of the corporation, regardless of how many total shares are issued.

How to set up share class?

Share classes determine the rights and privileges of shareholders, such as voting rights and dividend rights.

Example: A corporation has two shareholders: John and Mike.

Case 1: If both owners should have voting rights, assign Class A shares to both John and Mike.
Case 2: If only John should have voting rights, assign Class A shares to John and Class B shares to Mike.

How to set up share number?

Share numbers must be assigned as whole numbers. Decimal values are not allowed.

Case 1: If John, Mike, and Ali each own the same percentage of the corporation, assign the same number of shares to each person.
Case 2: If John owns 40%, Mike owns 30%, and Ali owns 30%, assign:
- John – 40 shares
- Mike – 30 shares
- Ali – 30 shares
Case 3: If ownership percentages include decimals, avoid them by scaling the proportions. For example, if ownership is 51%, 24.5%, and 24.5%, you may assign:
- John – 102 shares
- Mike – 49 shares
- Ali – 49 shares

Can I change share details in future?

Yes. Share details such as share price, number of shares, and shareholders can be changed at any time by filing the appropriate corporate documents.

These changes must also be recorded in the corporation’s central share register and corporate records.

When do I need a Prince Edward Island HST account?

Because PEI uses the Harmonized system, there is no separate "provincial-only" tax account. Registration for the federal HST account covers your provincial obligations.

Mandatory Industries: You must register if you sell taxable goods, provide professional services (legal, consulting, etc.), or offer short-term accommodations.
No Small Supplier Exemption for certain businesses: Note that taxi operators and commercial ride-sharing drivers (like Uber) must register for an HST account immediately, regardless of their annual revenue.
Small Supplier Status: If your total taxable revenue is below $30,000, you are considered a "small supplier" and registration is optional unless you wish to claim tax credits back from the government.

Phone Support: Includes assistance with corporate updates such as address, director, or officer changes.
Complete Maintenance: A full package including the Annual Return, Phone Support, and the filing of all required Notices of Change.

Every PEI corporation must file an Annual Return with the PEI Corporate Registry every year, regardless of whether you conducted business or earned a profit.

Deadline: It must be filed within 60 days of your corporation's anniversary date to keep the company in "Good Standing."
Consequence: Failure to file will result in your status changing to "Inactive" and can eventually lead to the corporation being dissolved (struck off) by the government.

We recommend reserving a domain name that matches your business name immediately. If a competitor secures your domain first, it can be difficult to establish your brand online later.

Example: www.yourbusinessname.ca or www.yourbusinessname.com

What is Business Email address?

A Business Email Address uses your custom domain name instead of a generic provider (like Gmail or Yahoo).

Professionalism: It builds trust with clients and provides a professional appearance for all business communications.
Example: Contact@yourcompanyname.com
