Select the name of your New Brunswick Corporation.
Before you begin the process of incorporation, you need to name your corporation. Every corporation must have a name; this is known as a corporate name. The name must be distinctive and it must not be misleading or likely to be confused with names used by other organizations and businesses. In general, a corporate name is distinctive if it does not make those who encounter it think of another organization or business.
Completing New Brunswick articles of incorporation
This step establishes the structure of your corporation. However, you can apply to change the structure of your corporation once you are operating.
Your articles of incorporation will need to be signed by the incorporator(s). If an incorporator is a company or other incorporated body, the articles must be signed by an individual authorized by that body.
In the New Brunswick articles of incorporation you need to state:
your proposed corporate name (leave a blank space if you want to proceed with a numbered name)
your corporation’s province or territory in Canada
your share structure and any restrictions on share transfers (see The share structure of your corporation)
your corporation’s number of directors
any restrictions you might want to set for your business or business activities
any other provisions
Establishing the initial registered office address and first board of directors
The registered office address is where you must keep your corporate records and where official documents will be served on the corporation. Choose an address where you will be sure to receive any documents that are sent there since, legally, they will be assumed to have been received by the corporation. Information about the registered office address is corporate information, and as such, is required to be made public.
