Incorporating a business, if done properly, can protect your personal assets from lawsuits or creditors and can minimize your tax bill. The process of incorporation is not an overly difficult procedure, but every step along the incorporation process has to be properly completed. A knowledgeable lawyer will help you through the process.
We will help you in drafting all the necessary documents needed to officially incorporate a company in British Columbia including:

• Name Approval Requests;
• Notice of Articles;
• Special Rights and Restrictions;
• Incorporation Agreement;
• Incorporation Application;
• Register of Directors;
• Central Securities Register; and
• Transparency Register.

After incorporation, there are annual reporting requirements for British Columbia corporations. These reporting requirements involve updating information with the provincial government to ensure the corporation remains in good standing. This annual update is a service that Heath Law LLP can provide which will allow you to focus more on the day-to-day operations of the business. We will ensure that your company complies with all of British Columbia’s statutory requirements thereby maintaining your corporation’s good standing.

Additionally, British Columbia corporations must have a corporate record office. Heath Law LLP can act as your registered corporate office where we will keep all required documents and records in a Record Book. Maintaining the corporate Record Book is very important. It will not be possible to obtain a loan or to sell shares without an up-to-date Record Book. A properly maintained Record Book is also important in the event of an audit by the Canada Revenue Agency.

Heath Law LLP has lawyers with extensive experience in advising British Columbia companies and would welcome the opportunity to start a working relationship with your company.
