What is included in a Quebec incorporation package?

What is the difference between a Quebec numbered company and a Quebec named company?

A Quebec numbered company is assigned a government-generated corporate number as its legal name, while a named company uses a chosen business name that must meet Quebec naming rules. A named Quebec corporation is better when branding, public recognition, or customer-facing identity matters.

Can I incorporate in Quebec without choosing a business name?

Yes, choosing a Quebec numbered company lets you incorporate without creating and approving a custom business name. This is often preferred when the legal corporation name is less important than getting the company registered.

What is a Quebec numbered company?

A Quebec numbered company is a corporation registered with a legal name based on a number rather than a custom business name. It is commonly used when the owner wants a simple legal corporation name and does not need a branded company name.

What is a named Quebec corporation?

A named Quebec corporation uses a custom legal name selected by the business owner and approved under Quebec naming rules. The name must be suitable for the business and must not be confusing, misleading, or already used by another enterprise in Quebec.

What documents are needed if my Quebec company name is already approved?

Why does a Quebec corporation need a registered office address?

A Quebec corporation needs a registered office, commonly referred to as its head office, so the Registraire des entreprises and other parties have an official address connected to the corporation. Under Quebec’s Business Corporations Act, the head office of a corporation must be permanently located in Quebec.

Who needs to provide a Quebec registered office address?

Anyone registering a Quebec numbered or named corporation must provide a valid Quebec head office address as part of the incorporation filing. Quebec law requires a notice of the corporation’s head office address to be filed with the articles or included through the initial declaration process.

Can I use a home address as the registered office for a Quebec corporation?

Yes, a home address may be used if it is a valid Quebec address, but it may become part of the corporation’s public registry information. The Quebec enterprise register is a public information bank, and enterprises are responsible for the accuracy of the information they declare.

What corporate records are connected to the Quebec head office address?

A Quebec corporation must prepare and maintain key records at its head office, including articles, bylaws, shareholder resolutions, director information, and the securities register. Some accounting and corporate records may be kept elsewhere if they remain available for inspection as required.

What does “incorporator” mean for a Québec corporation?

In Québec, the incorporator is commonly referred to as the founder, meaning the person or legal entity that signs the Articles of Constitution to create the corporation. Québec’s Business Corporations Act allows a corporation to be constituted by one or more founders.

Who should be listed as the incorporator on a Québec incorporation form?

The person or entity listed should be the one authorizing the creation of the Québec corporation and signing the incorporation documents. The founder’s information becomes part of the corporation’s Articles of Constitution, so it should match the signer’s legal identity.

Can there be more than one incorporator for a Québec corporation?

Yes, a Québec corporation can have one or more founders. This is useful when multiple founders, partners, or entities are jointly setting up the corporation.

What happens after the incorporator signs the Québec incorporation documents?

The signed Articles of Constitution and required documents are sent to the enterprise registrar, and the corporation is created when the certificate of constitution is issued. Once the corporation is constituted, it becomes a legal person.

Articles of Incorporation (Corporation's Share Structure)

The Articles of Incorporation is a legal document that establishes a corporation as a separate legal entity from its owners. It looks like a constitution of Corporation. It typically includes information such as the corporation's name, registered office address, number of shares authorized, restrictions on share transfers, and other key details about the business.

Articles of Incorporation

Standard (No specific class): Unlimited common shares, $00

Advanced (Two Share Class): Common voting & Common Non-voting $125 CAD

Custom (Your Own Words): Write or attach your own words $200

Standard share structure: This share structure is basically used by one and single owner (shareholder) corporation.It allows to issue unlimited number of shares without naming any specific share class. It does not make any distinction between voting shares and non-voting shares.

Advanced share structure: This structure is basically used by more than one owner and all the owners are family members corporation. It allows to issue class A common voting and class B common non-voting shares but does not allow issuing preferred shares.

Customize share structure: This structure is basically used by more than one owner and any one of the owners are non-family members (relatives, friends, business partners). This allows you to make custom share classes of your own (with/without preferred shares).

What does “corporation’s share structure” mean in a Quebec incorporation form?

A corporation’s share structure sets out the types of shares the Quebec corporation is allowed to issue, including whether the share capital is limited or unlimited and whether shares have par value or no par value. Under Quebec law, a corporation has unlimited share capital and shares without par value unless the articles say otherwise.

Why is the share structure important when registering a Quebec corporation?

The share structure controls ownership rights, voting power, dividend entitlement, and what shareholders may receive if the corporation is liquidated. Setting it correctly at incorporation helps avoid ownership disputes, investor issues, and future amendment filings.

Who needs a custom share structure for a Quebec corporation

A custom share structure is useful for multi-founder companies, family businesses, holding companies, professional corporations, investor-backed businesses, or corporations that need separate voting and non-voting shares. A basic share structure may be enough for a simple one-owner corporation.

Can a Quebec corporation change its share structure after incorporation?

Yes, but changes to authorized share capital, share classes, share rights, or share restrictions generally require Articles of Amendment. Quebec law specifically states that changes to maximum number, par value, or other authorized share capital details must be set out in articles of amendment.

Bylaws and Minute Book

When you incorporate in Quebec, you form a Quebec company. A minute book is mandatory for all Quebec corporations.

Bylaws are a set of rules and regulations that govern the internal management of a corporation. Bylaws typically cover topics such as the election of directors, the duties and powers of officers, the conduct of meetings, and other internal governance matters. A Minute book is a collection of legal documents that are kept by a corporation to document its corporate activities and decisions. It typically includes the Articles of Incorporation, bylaws, board and shareholder meeting minutes, resolutions, and other important documents.

Do you want us Prepare Bylaws & Minutebook for your Corporation?

What is a ByLaw & Minute book and what is included in it?

Bylaw & Minute book is detailed records & documents of an incorporated company’s structure and activities. According to the corporation act Minute book is MANDATORY. It must be updated every year as part of the incorporation’s Annual Return to maintain its legal structure and include By-laws, Articles of Incorporation Any amendment, Resolutions and minutes, Shareholder and share transfer registers, Directors & Officers Registers, Notices that have been filed. If a business does not have them or keep them up to date, they are fined by the CRA as part of an audit. Banks might decline to give loans and any potential future sale of their business or assets could be in jeopardy or face extensive and costly legitimate deferrals. This Minute book prepared by our legal and accounting team.

Why does a Québec corporation need bylaws and a minute book?

Bylaws set the internal rules for how the corporation operates, while the minute book keeps the corporation’s legal history, ownership records, resolutions, and governance documents. Québec law requires a corporation to prepare and maintain records at its head office, including its articles, bylaws, and any unanimous shareholder agreement.

Who needs a corporate minute book in Québec?

Every Québec corporation should maintain a proper corporate minute book, including numbered companies, named corporations, one-person corporations, family businesses, holding companies, and operating businesses. Even a simple corporation needs records showing who owns shares, who manages the company, and what decisions have been approved.

Why does a one-person Québec corporation still need bylaws and resolutions?

A single-owner corporation is still a separate legal person, so its decisions should be documented separately from the owner’s personal decisions. Proper bylaws and resolutions help prove share ownership, director authority, banking approvals, and corporate compliance.

Where should a Québec corporation keep its minute book records?

Québec corporations must keep required records at the head office, or in some cases another place that still allows inspection in Québec during regular office hours. The corporation must also take reasonable precautions to protect records from loss, destruction, or inaccuracies.

Why does a Québec incorporation form ask for officer information?

Officer information identifies the people who will handle key corporate roles such as president, secretary, CEO, COO, CFO, or similar positions. Québec law recognizes officers as people appointed or designated by the corporation’s board.

Who should be listed as an officer of a Québec corporation?

List the person who will actually hold an officer role and carry out that function for the corporation, such as signing documents, managing records, or handling corporate administration. The board may appoint directors or other individuals as officers and define their functions.

Is an officer the same as a director or shareholder?

No, a director supervises the corporation, a shareholder owns shares, and an officer performs an appointed management or administrative role. One person may hold more than one role, but each role has a different legal purpose.

Does a Québec corporation need to appoint officers after incorporation?

Yes, officers are usually appointed during the corporation’s organization process after incorporation. Québec’s Business Corporations Act states that directors may appoint officers at the organization meeting.
