INCORPORATION SERVICES AT REGISTRY @ SOUTH TRAIL CROSSING

Incorporation is a vital step for many businesses in Alberta, providing a legal framework that supports growth, limits personal liability, and enhances credibility. However, navigating the process of incorporation can be tricky. Thankfully, your local Southeast Calgary registry, Registry @ South Trail Crossing, is here to help.

WHAT IS INCORPORATION IN ALBERTA?

Incorporation refers to the process of forming a distinct legal entity that is separate from its owners and/or shareholders. This separation means that the corporation can own property, incur debts, and enter contracts in its own name. In Alberta, corporations can take various forms, including:
 

  • Private Corporations: Owned by a small group of individuals, with restricted share transfers.
     

  • Public Corporations: Shares are available to the public, often traded on stock exchanges.
     

  • Non-Profit Corporations: Operate for charitable, educational, or social purposes, without profit distribution.
     

  • Co-operatives: Owned and operated by a group of individuals for mutual benefit.

BENEFITS OF INCORPORATION

Incorporating your business in Alberta comes with numerous benefits, including:
 

  • Limited Liability: Shareholders are generally not personally liable for the debts and obligations of the corporation.
     

  • Tax Advantages: Corporations may benefit from lower tax rates and various tax incentives.
     

  • Enhanced Credibility: Being incorporated can enhance your business's credibility with customers, suppliers, and potential investors.
     

  • Perpetual Existence: Corporations continue to exist beyond the life of their founders, allowing for easier transfer of ownership.

HOW TO APPLY FOR INCORPORATION

To incorporate a business in Alberta, you can simplify the process by working with incorporation agents at a registry office like Registry @ South Trail Crossing. We can guide you through the following steps:

​

  1. Choosing a Name: We can conduct a NUANS name search to ensure your chosen corporation’s name is unique and complies with Alberta's naming regulations.
     

  2. Preparing Articles of Incorporation: We can assist in drafting this crucial document, which outlines your corporation's structure, including share classes, voting rights, and other shareholder information.
     

  3. Filing the Incorporation Application: We review your documents to ensure compliance with provincial regulations and then submit your completed application and required fees to Alberta's Corporate Registry. 
     

  4. Obtaining Certificate of Incorporation: Once your incorporation is approved, one of our agents will provide you with the Certificate of Incorporation that officially recognizes your business as a corporation.

 

We can also help with additional services such as registering directors, changing registered office address, and registering an agent for service. Plus, if you are looking to register a corporation that is already incorporated in another province, we can help you with that as well by guiding you through the streamlined process of extra-provincial registration in Alberta. 
 

Many of these services can also be completed online.
