BC Business Incorporation Law Firm

The first step to every corporation is deciding on a corporate name. The name must be distinct and not include a misrepresentation of your business. That name must be approved and reserved by the Corporate Registry.

It is composed of three elements:

1. A distinctive portion that identifies the particular corporation;
2. A descriptive portion that identifies the particular activities of the corporation;
3. And a legal element, identifying the company as a corporation, such as Limited, Incorporated, or Corporation.

You must have a name search done once you’ve submitted a Name Approval Request or Name Reservation Request Form.

Typically, you will be required to prepare the following documents:

The Memorandum

Sets out the rules for the conduct of the company.

The Articles of Incorporation

The rules and regulations that will govern the conduct of the company members and directors.

The Articles of Incorporation application will include the following information:

• Corporate name
• Completing party
• Share structure - Need to decide on who the shareholders will be
• Registered and record office
• Information of directors.

The Notice of Offices

States the location of the two required offices for your corporation, the registered office, and the records office.

Once Patrola Law has received all the information mentioned above, we can incorporate the company by E-filing the Incorporation Application.

After this step has been completed, the post incorporation documents will be prepared for your signature, to add to the Corporate Minute Book.
