Starting a BC company
The BC Registries form asks for two addresses the day you set up your company, and they go on the public record. Use ours instead of your home. We then build the minute book the registry never gives you, and file every annual report after that.
Run by a practicing BC lawyer. About two minutes to sign up; the address follows in your welcome email.
Your first deadline is a year out. The annual report is due within two months after each anniversary of incorporation ($43.39 government fee). Companies that miss it repeatedly can be dissolved. We track it and file it for you.
$278.88 with GST and PST. Best for single-owner companies.
$446.88 with GST and PST. For companies paying dividends.
Government fees are extra and passed through at cost. See how this compares to law firms and online platforms.
No. Minuted doesn't incorporate companies or reserve names. Incorporating online with BC Registries takes most people about 20 minutes, and many accountants do it for their clients. We tell you exactly what to enter for the two office addresses.
Your welcome email with the address arrives within one business day of signing up. If you're filing sooner, you can put your own address and we'll switch it afterwards for the $21.50 government fee.
No. Sign up as an existing company and we file the change of registered and records office. There's no switching fee, just the $21.50 government filing fee.
Yes. Directors' addresses are public as well, and you can use our office for them at no extra charge.
That works too. A federal company that carries on business in BC also needs a BC extraprovincial registration. See federal corporations in BC.
No. Minuted's plans are corporate records and filing services. Legal work, such as a shareholders' agreement, is available separately under a written retainer with the operator's law practice.
Sign up first, and your welcome email tells you what to enter for the registered and records office.
