Individuals or groups wishing to operate as corporations in Québec are required under the Québec Companies Act to file the appropriate forms with the Québec Registraire des entreprises.
Before you begin your Québec company incorporation online there are a few things that you are going to need to know and/or have access to.
- A credit card
- Your proposed company name
- At least one physical address in Québec for your company registered address
- The full names and residential addresses of your director/s
- If you intend to apply for a company business number during the incorporation process, you will need the social insurance number of at least one director
- An active email address
- A computer that is installed with PDF reader software (e.g. Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.0 or above)
Forming a Québec company involves three main steps:
Step 1 Name Approval
All business entities require approval of proposed name prior to company registration in Québec. Québec Registraire des entreprises is responsible for the approval of company names.
We will do this step as a part of our Québec company incorporation service.
The general rules for choosing a Québec 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 Q.C. Ltd; a Québec 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 the Québec Registraire des entreprises before you do business under that business name.
If your articles of incorporation meets the current legislated requirements established by the Québec Companies Act, the Québec Registraire des entreprises, will process the request and issue you a Québec certificate of incorporation.
