What is an Alberta Corporation?
An Alberta Corporation is a legal entity created through registration with the Alberta Corporate Registry.
It provides business owners with a recognized legal structure, offering limited liability, perpetual existence, and a distinct separation from the personal
assets of its shareholders. Incorporating in Alberta enables businesses to operate under a regulated framework that enhances credibility and offers protections
both for the business and its stakeholders.
What is an Extra-Provincial Corporation?
An Extra-Provincial Corporation is an entity that was incorporated in a different province or country but wishes to operate in Alberta.
These corporations must register with Alberta’s Corporate Registry to conduct business legally within the province. Registering as an extra-provincial
corporation allows businesses to expand their market reach while adhering to Alberta’s legal requirements.
Alberta and extra-provincial corporations must maintain certain records, such as annual filings and compliance documents,
ensuring they operate under the regulatory standards of Alberta. These records are maintained in a Minute Book.
