What Corporate Records and Supplies Does a BC Company Need?
A BC company must maintain certain corporate records, including incorporation records, company registers, resolutions, and other documents required under the Business Corporations Act. These records do not have to be kept in a physical binder specifically called a minute book and may be maintained in other permitted formats.
Some products are optional. A corporate seal is not required simply to authenticate company records, and many BC companies may use certificated or uncertificated shares depending on their structure.
Other services depend on the company’s circumstances. Address and agent services may be useful where applicable corporate or extraprovincial requirements must be satisfied, while domain registration supports the company’s online identity rather than its statutory corporate records.
