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, 987654 Alberta Ltd. 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.
What services can be added?
With an experienced in-house legal and accounting team, Incorporation Agency Canada is a trusted registered member of multiple government units. We offer a full suite of incorporation and corporate maintenance services, including:
  • NUANS Name Search & Approval

  • WCB (Workers' Compensation Board) Registration
  • Corporate Seal & Minute Book Binder
  • Annual Return Filings & Corporate Maintenance

  • Business Address Services
  • Express Registration Service

Can I get help placing an order?
Yes! Our customer service team is available to offer general assistance (note: we do not provide legal advice). You can reach us by phone at 647-945-8893 during business hours.
What is a Named Corporation?
A Named Corporation allows you to select a custom business name—e.g., Johnson Car Wash Inc. A Numbered Corporation does not include a custom name. Instead, a number is assigned by the government—e.g., 1000044599 Alberta Ltd.
Is It a one-time fee?
Yes, incorporation is a one-time payment with no recurring monthly or annual fees.
Are the corporate documents legally valid?
Absolutely. The Certificate of Incorporation and Articles of Incorporation are issued by the official Corporate Registry. Our in-house legal team drafts the articles, and you may opt for custom versions to fit your specific needs.
What Is a CRA Business Number?
A Business Number (BN) is a unique nine-digit identifier assigned by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). It streamlines interactions between businesses and federal, provincial, and municipal governments. Every corporation is required to have its own business number.
How will I receive the documents?
You can place an order online using a credit card or e-transfer. Once your order is reviewed and processed, we’ll register the company and deliver the documents either by email or postal mail, depending on your preference.
Do you offer post-incorporation services?
  1. Annual Return Filing: We submit your annual corporate return to the registry.
  2. Phone Support: Get help with your corporate questions and updates.

    Alberta Trade Name / Operating Name

    Adding a Trade Name is very common practice by business owners to take advantage on business sign, bank cheque, business card, brand logo, and future trademark. An example: "987654 Alberta Ltd." is the legal name and "Joe Movers" is the trade name.
    Adding a Trade Name is very common practice by business owners to take advantage on business sign, bank cheque, business card, brand logo, and future trademark. An example: the legal name of walmart is "Wal-Mart Stores, Inc." whille its trade name is "Walmart".

    What Is a Valid NUANS Report?
    NUANS, or Newly Upgraded Automated Name Search, is a federal database utilized to verify if there are any existing business names that could potentially conflict with your intended name. For registering a business in a province (Ontario, Alberta, New Brunswick, PEI), only the NUANS Reservation Report specific to that province is accepted. Keep in mind that a federal NUANS report cannot be used for this purpose.
    Is there any guidelines for name?
    A corporation’s name generally needs two components:
    Distinctive: A unique or invented word that sets your name apart (e.g., “Mike”)
    Descriptive: A common word describing your business activity (e.g., “Construction”) Example: Mike Construction “Mike” is distinctive, “Construction” is descriptive. Enter your preferred name, and we’ll help if adjustments are needed for approval
    Why need a legal ending?
    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.
    What are the benefits of a trade name?
    Registering a trade name offers several benefits:
    a) It allows you to use a shorter, more marketable name for advertising, business signs, and brand development.
    b) It can simplify the process of obtaining municipal licenses and permits.
    c) It creates a public record of your business name, which can be a foundational step toward securing a trademark in the future.
    What is a numbered company with a trade name?
    The main advantage of a numbered company is skipping the NUANS name search and approval step, which makes the incorporation process faster and less expensive. The primary disadvantage is that the assigned number (e.g., 123456 Alberta Ltd.) isn't a marketable brand name. This drawback can be easily resolved by registering a trade name, which allows you to operate under a more memorable name for marketing and branding purposes.

    Each corporation in Alberta is required to designate an Agent for Service who must live in Alberta (need to produce an Alberta Phot ID).

    Impact of adding additional director(s)
    Each director has equal power and control over the corporation. The Second director can remove the primary director and vice versa. Therefore, you may add an additional director whom you trust.
    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. If you opt for our Complete Maintenance package (available in the next steps), director changes can be made at no additional cost.
    What are the requirements to be a director?
    A director is responsible for managing the business and affairs of the corporation. To qualify as a director for an Alberta corporation, an individual: 1. Must be 18 years of age or older. 2. Must not be in a status of bankruptcy. 3. At least 25% of the directors must be resident Canadians. If the corporation has fewer than four directors, at least one must be a resident Canadian.
    Are you incorporating on behalf of a alient?
    If you are a lawyer, accountant, or service provider setting up the corporation for a client, do not enter your own name in this section. It should reflect the actual owner(s) of the corporation.
    Note: We do not contact directors directly. All communication is handled through the person listed in the billing address.
    Articles of Incorporation
    A Custom Articles of Incorporation allow you to establish a distinctive legal framework for your company by incorporating specific elements beyond a typical template. This may include limitations on business operations or share transfers, and particular governance guidelines. Such flexibility allows you to customize the corporation’s structure to meet your specific requirements and providing enhanced control.

By introducing these unique share classes, you can retain authority over corporate decisions, handle dividend allocations, and dictate how assets are divided in the event of liquidation of the corporation.

    Personalized Share Classes

    Creating custom share classess requires careful consideration and may need specialized drafting by our specialists. You can upload OR email us your custom requirements. Our registry agent might contact you for further information.

    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 than its owners, it could owned only by owning its shares. The corporation's assets and stocks are go split into pieces and each of these pieces is called share. If a corporation issues 100 shares with $1 each, the total net worth of the corporation is 100x$1=$100.
    Can I change share price in future?
    For simplicity of corporate filing, most people set up $1 share price in the beginning. Eventually, the share price and share numbers could be increased.
    What is Class A and B shares?
    A corporation's stock are split into shares. Those who own the shares, are in fact the owners of the corporation. Therefore, to make a classification of owners, shares are classified. 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.

    Order Abandonment: If the User fails to respond within twenty-eight (28) days from our initial contact attempt, the order shall be deemed abandoned and Business Registration Center will close the order.

    Reactivation: Should the User contact Business Registration Center after an order has been deemed abandoned, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to refuse reactivation of the order. If we agree to reactivate an abandoned order, the User may be required to pay a reactivation fee in addition to any outstanding amounts before Services can resume from the point of abandonment.

    Order processing work, including payment verification, order authentication, and preliminary review, begins immediately upon order placement. For this reason, the following fees are non-refundable for all orders, regardless of order value, whether the order is ultimately completed, or the timing of any cancellation request:

    • Payment Processing Fees — These fees are included in your transaction total and compensate for payment processor charges incurred at the time of purchase.
    • Agency Fee (also referred to as Service Fee or Business Registration Center Fee) — This fee compensates for order intake, verification, and administrative processing that occurs immediately upon order submission.
    • Instant, Automated, or API-Delivered Product Fees — Fees for products or services that are generated, retrieved, processed, or delivered immediately or near-immediately upon order placement, including Instant Nuans reports, are non-refundable.
    • Name Search & Analysis Fees
    • Specialist Review Fees
    • NUANS Report Fees
    • Name Approval Fees
    • Document Retrieval Fees

    Orders Placed in Error: The fees listed above are non-refundable even if you believe your order was placed in error, placed by mistake, or if you request cancellation immediately after ordering. Submitting an order constitutes acceptance of these terms.

    Important: Business Registration Center is a private company, not a government agency. Belief that you were transacting with a government entity is not grounds for a refund of non-refundable fees.

    12.2 Refundable Fees Under Certain Conditions

    Depending on the period of the service, we can provide a refund in the following circumstances:

    • Government Fees: Only if filing has not been submitted to the government yet.
    • Draft Fees: Only if a draft has not been sent for approval via email yet.
    • Company Key Retrieval Fees: Only if company key has not been requested from the government yet.
    • Shipping Fees: If the shipping department has not started preparing the physical items for shipping yet.
    • Future Date Fees: If a future date was not used for filing.

    12.3 Add-on Services

    • Initial Return Filing: If the Initial Return filing has not been submitted to the government yet.
    • Annual Return/Declaration: If the annual return/declaration filing has not been submitted to the government yet.
    • Company Key: If the company key has not been provided via email yet.

    • Share Certificate: If the Share Certificate has not been prepared.

    • Trademark Pre-Submission Fees: If no search or analysis have been completed for the proposed trademark.
    • Trademark Post-Submission Fees: If the trademark application has not been submitted to the government.

    12.4 Company-Initiated Refunds

    In limited circumstances where Business Registration Center is unable to complete your order due to factors within our control, refunds may be issued as follows:

    Full Refund of All Fees (including Payment Processing Fees):

    • The service requested is outside the scope of services offered by Business Registration Center, discovered after order placement
    • Business Registration Center lacks the legal authority to complete the requested service in the applicable jurisdiction
    • An unremediable technical failure solely on Business Registration Center‘s systems prevents service completion

    Refund of Agency Fee and Service-Specific Fees (Payment Processing Fees retained):

    • Business Registration Center makes a processing error (e.g., incorrect service processed)

    Not Eligible for Company-Initiated Refund:

    The following are not grounds for refund under this section, as they are outside Business Registration Center‘s control:

    • Government rejection of a filing or application
    • Requested business name being unavailable
    • Information provided by the customer being incorrect, incomplete, or insufficient
    • Customer failing to respond to requests for required information or documentation
    • Customer changing their mind after order placement
    • Service processing time exceeding customer expectations

    12.5 Chargeback & Disputes

    In the event that a chargeback is initiated by a User for any of our Products or Services, the following procedures shall apply:

    Invalid Dispute Grounds: The following are not valid grounds for initiating a chargeback or payment dispute, and Business Registration Center will contest any such disputes:

    • Order placed in error or by mistake
    • Immediate cancellation request after order placement
    • Belief that Business Registration Center is a government agency
    • Dissatisfaction with service speed or delivery time
    • Buyer’s remorse or change of mind

    Chargeback Notification and Communication: Upon receiving notice of a chargeback, Business Registration Center will make reasonable efforts to contact the User through the contact information provided during the order process. We will attempt to resolve the matter directly with the User before proceeding with formal dispute procedures.

    Dispute Response Process: If we are unable to reach a mutually acceptable resolution with the User, or if the User fails to respond to our communication attempts within a reasonable timeframe, Business Registration Center reserves the right to respond to the chargeback dispute through the appropriate payment processor channels.

    • Email correspondence and order confirmations
    • Payment transaction details and receipts
    • Recorded phone conversations
    • Any other documentation relevant to the transaction

    Dispute Resolution Outcomes: If the chargeback dispute is resolved in favor of Business Registration Center, the transaction and all related matters shall be considered fully resolved and the User will remain responsible for all amounts due. If the chargeback dispute is resolved in favor of the User, Business Registration Center reserves the right to pursue collection of any outstanding amounts for Services already rendered or products already delivered, including but not limited to referring the matter to a third-party collection agency and reporting the debt to credit bureaus as permitted by law.

    Conditions for Dispute Resolution: As a condition of resolving any dispute, Business Registration Center reserves the right to require the User to enter into a Non-Disparagement Agreement. Such agreement may include provisions restricting the User from making negative, defamatory, or disparaging statements about Business Registration Center, its Services, Products, employees, or business practices on any platform, including but not limited to social media, review websites, or other public forums.
