BC Incorporation Form

When you are ready to take your business to the next level, we are here to help you start a new corporation.  As experienced counsel, we focus on the legal details so you can focus on your new venture.  Our BC Incorporation Form should be completed by the person seeking to incorporate and he or she should provide as much information as is possible to ensure that we can assist promptly and effectively.  We recognize that business owners don’t always have some of the required information available to them and sometimes need to consult with their accountants. That is understandable and we ask that the incorporator provide as much information as is requested and where information is unknown, to let us know and we can assist to fill in the gaps or work with your accountant to do so.

Note: By completing this form, a solicitor client relationship should not be assumed as we are required to conduct a conflict check and provide you with an engagement letter as part of our regulatory and best practice requirements before we are fully engaged. While this form intends to gather the most relevant information, we reserve the right to ask for additional information which is necessary to provide effective counsel and assistance to you.
