Incorporations

A corporation is a legal entity created by the filing of certain documents. Being a legal entity, a corporation has the rights, powers and privileges of an individual. A corporation is a legal entity separate from its shareholders and it also has certain tax and financial advantages. Any business carried on for profit can become a corporation.

Once you decide to incorporate as a named company you will have to have a NUANS report done. (If you are going to be a numbered company you don't need a name search.) The NUANS will show you all existing corporations with names similar to your suggested name. Because you want no conflicts you cannot use a name that is identical to that of another corporation.

You must prepare a Notice of Directors, a Notice of Address and your Articles of Incorporation. We can check to see that your documents are complete and enter the data onto the system for you.
