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
- Custom By-laws & Articles of Incorporation

- WCB (Workers' Compensation Board) Registration

- Annual Return Filings & Corporate Maintenance
- Domain name reservation
- Business Address Services

- ...and much more
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.
3. Complete Maintenance: Includes Annual Return Filing, Phone Support, and processing of Notices of Change (e.g., director or address 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: 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.

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.

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.

Yes. You can change any time share price, share number and shareholders.

Do I need WCB registration?
Registering with Workers' Compensation Board (WCB) is required for most businesses In Alberta within 10 days of hiring their first employee. Some types of businesses are exempted from mandatory registration with WCB based on the activities (Examples are banks, insurance companies, hair salons (with exceptions), private schools or daycares, travel agencies, etc.) but many employers in these industries choose to register with the WCB anyways for protection to their workers. WCB registration is more important for small businesses and start-ups to provide financial security in the event of a workplace accident.
Who needs a payroll account?
If you hire Employees including yourself, then you need a Payroll Account Number. If you do not have an employee, your own salary or a family member's salary can be processed through the payroll account to take advantage of CRA 'income splitting'.
