INC Business Lawyers TIP: In order to open a business bank account using an unincorporated trade name, most banks will require proof that you have registered that trade name with the Corporate Registry.

 

Every British Columbia company is required to file a document called an "annual report" with the Corporate Registry every year. The document must be filed online.

INC Business Lawyers provides registered office services to keep these filings and their supporting documents, the annual shareholder and director resolutions, up to date.

Our standard BC incorporation package is designed for people who want to make sure that they structure their company properly and to receive advice as to how to best use the company. 

If you reside outside of Canada and you are thinking of incorporating in Canada this is the package for you. British Columbia is an excellent choice choice for a Canadian corporation because the BC Business Corporation Act allows for non-resident directors and more flexibility than any other jurisdiction in Canada.

6 Steps to Incorporating in British Columbia: 

1 Choose three alternate names for the corporation with first, second and third choices. These names will need a name search before approved. Unique names are more likely to be approved. Common or popular words are often rejected. 

Note:  You may choose a numbered company for faster results and change to a named company later.  The Government automatically issues the numbers.

2 Choose the legal ending  for your company to be either: Limited (Ltd.), Corporation (Corp.) or Incorporated (Inc.).
3 Supply the full names and street addresses of the directors,  officers and shareholders.
4 Provide the British Columbia street address for the corporation's registered office. Post office box numbers are not allowed. If you don't have a BC address, or don't want to use the BC address that you do have, we can act as registered office for the corporation. We charge $150 a year, plus applicable tax and government filing fees for the annual report. Please tell us that you need this service when you order your BC corporation.  
5 Decide upon a simple or complex share structure with common or preferred shares (Class "A" or "B" shares). We can help you select what are the best choices for you.
6 Lastly, confirm with us that you wish to go ahead with  your incorporation.
