Forming an Alberta company involves three main steps:
Step 1 Name Approval
All business entities require approval of proposed name prior to company registration in Alberta. Alberta registrar office is responsible for the approval of company names.
We will do this step as a part of our Alberta company incorporation service.
The general rules for choosing an Alberta company name are:
* must not be identical or too similar to another business' name
* must not infringe registered trademarks or patents
* must not be offensive or vulgar in any way
Company names that contain words like Bank, Finance Company, Insurance, School, University, Travel Agent, Media, etc. must first be approved by the provincial Company Registration regulatory authority before they can be used.
If the name of the company is to be its incorporation number, for example 123456 A.B. Ltd; a Alberta NUANS name search report, is not required and the number will be assigned at the time of incorporation.
Step 2 Filing Articles of Incorporation
Once you've reserved a company name, you can proceed to register your company and file articles of incorporation. Articles of incorporation are legal documents that establish your business, and must be approved by Alberta registries office before you do business under that business name.
If your articles of incorporation meets the current legislated requirements established by the Alberta Business Corporation Act, the Alberta registries office, will process the request and issue you an Alberta certificate of incorporation.
