What is a numbered company?
After a company is incorporated, it receives a corporation number. If a name isn't chosen, this corporation number serves as the company's name. For instance, a numbered company may be called 9872587 Alberta Inc. The primary benefit of a numbered company is the ability to bypass the Nuans name search and approval process, making incorporation quicker and more cost-effective. On the downside, the main drawback of a numbered company is the absence of a brand name, which is essential for marketing, signage, and brand development.
