Minute book consists of by laws, share structure & other legal sections. It's REQUIRED to open bank account. Without it, a corporation is not complete. A Minute book must be presented when corporation is audited.

Any advantage of doing in package?

Two major benefits. 1. Tax claimable: cost that occurs during business set up, is called Business Development Expenses, is tax claimable. Costs that occurs after business already registered, is called operational cost, is not tax claimable. These costs will occur at any way, since these are mandatory filing, therefore, it's wise to include in package. 2. The default process is, these filing to be done together with corporation; hence, it's cheaper in package. To do this services later; there are manual forms and process; hence, costs more money and takes longer processing time.

What are mandatory?

Minute Book, Corporate Tax ID, HST Account, Payroll account and Initial Returns are mandatory. Every corporation must have a corporate tax ID, just like the SIN number for an individual. Same applicable for HST & Payroll account. Initial Return is a mandatory filing MUST be done for every new corporation. Fail to file these mandatory filing, may result the corporation NULL & VOID.

Why choice for mandatory?

Many of our clients are law firm and accounting firm. This is why, we kept everything here as a choice. For example, the Minute book is a mandatory for a corporation, but we put here as a choice, because the law firm itself can prepare their minute book.

Named or numbered corporation?

In a numbered corporation, a random number will be the name (ex. 21345 Newfoundland and Lbrador Ltd.). On the other hand, a named corporation will have a name such a Mike Construction Ltd. which will be protected by government. Obviously, a named corporation looks better on a business card, bank cheque, invoices and business signs.

What is name pre-approval?

For a named corporation, a name pre-approval from the government is required. We can obtain it if you choose such service.

How name approval works?

IncorpRegistry is an agent of Industry Canada. If you buy NUANS & name approval from us, we do a pre-search first before obtaining the NUANS. If pre-search result shows good, we get name approval instantly. If pre-search result shows conflict, we will request you for alternative name by email, up to 3 names at free of cost.

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 suffix to choose?

All of these 6 legal suffix have same legal meaning and significance. Choice is for appearance purpose only. You may choose anyone that looks nice to you.
