Document background
Business Articles of Organization are essential documents required when establishing a corporation in Canada, whether at the federal or provincial level. This document is mandatory for incorporation and serves as the foundation for the company's legal existence and operational framework. It must be filed with the appropriate government authority (either federal or provincial) and include specific information required by law, such as corporate name, share structure, director information, and registered office address. The Articles define the fundamental aspects of the corporation's structure and governance, ensuring compliance with the Canada Business Corporations Act or provincial equivalents. This document is particularly crucial as it affects shareholders' rights, corporate governance, and the company's ability to conduct business, raise capital, and maintain its legal status in Canada.
