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.
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.

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 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.

Share Structure

Will it issue Class B non-voting share?

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.
What is class A and B shares?
Shares are classified to define owner rights. 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, often used for tax planning or investors who do not wish to be involved in management.

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.

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.
Can I change share details in future?
Yes. You can change share price, share number, and shareholders at any time by filing the appropriate corporate documents and updating the central share register (corporate records).

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.
Who needs a payroll account?
If you hire employees (including yourself if you intend to pay yourself a salary), you need a Payroll Account Number (RP0001). If you do not have an employee, your own salary or a family member's salary can be processed through the payroll account for tax planning benefits.
What is import account?
If your business involves importing physical goods from outside Canada, it is required. The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) uses this account (part of the BN) to process customs clearance and duties.
What is export account?
If your business involves exporting physical goods outside of Canada, it is required. The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) uses this account to process the required export documentation.

It is still widely used for formality and may be required by certain lenders.
