Document background
The Single Member LLC Articles of Organization, adapted for the Canadian legal framework as Articles of Incorporation, is a crucial document used when establishing a corporation with a single shareholder in Canada. While Canada doesn't have the LLC structure common in the United States, incorporation provides similar benefits of limited liability and tax flexibility. This document must be filed with either federal authorities (under the CBCA) or provincial corporate registries, depending on the desired jurisdiction of incorporation. It contains essential information about the corporation including its name, registered office address, share structure, directors, and any restrictions on business activities. The document serves as the foundation for the corporation's existence and is required for business registration, opening bank accounts, and establishing the corporation's legal presence in Canada.
