Frequently Asked Questions
What is a corporate minute book and why do I need one?
A corporate minute book is essentially an organized binder or electronic filing system where all your important corporate documents, such as articles of incorporation, bylaws, minutes of meetings, resolutions, shareholder and director registers, and share certificates, are stored. It is mandatory for all Canadian corporations to maintain accurate records in order to be in compliance and avoid possible fines.
Who needs a corporate minute book?
Any incorporated business in Canada, whether it is a small startup, family business, tech business, or a business with multiple shareholders, requires one. This is especially important for corporations that issue shares to founders, investors, or employees, or for businesses that have plans for growth, loans, or eventual sale.
What documents go inside a corporate minute book?
It typically includes your articles of incorporation, bylaws, director and shareholder resolutions, meeting minutes, ledgers for directors/officers/shareholders, share registers, copies of issued share certificates, and other key records like tax filings or agreements.
Do Canadian corporations still need share certificates?
Yes, share certificates are considered official proof of ownership for shareholders. Shareholders are entitled to them under Canadian corporate law (federal or provincial) unless the corporation is using uncertificated (electronic) shares. They are very important for ownership, transfer, equity distribution, and confidence.
When should I issue share certificates?
Distribute them immediately after incorporation once the board approves and assigns shares to founders, investors, or employees. Custom certificates display the shareholder’s name, number or class of shares, and corporate information for easy reference and protection.
Is a corporate seal required for my corporation?
No, a corporate seal is not required by either the Canada Business Corporations Act or provincial legislation. Nevertheless, many businesses do use a corporate seal to give their formal documents, such as contracts, resolutions, or share certificates, a touch of authenticity, perhaps required by certain banks or international parties.
What is a corporate seal used for?
A durable embosser creates a raised impression with your company name for official validation on legal papers, share certificates, or agreements. It gives documents a professional, tamper-evident touch and builds trust in formal transactions.
What are wafer stickers and why would I choose them?
Wafer stickers are high-quality, adhesive labels that accept a seal impression without needing a heavy embosser. They’re a modern, flat alternative for applying a professional seal to share certificates, minutes, or resolutions—tamper-evident, easy to use daily, and ideal if you prefer a cleaner look.
Can non-residents or international founders use these supplies?
Yes, these tools work for any Canadian corporation, including those with non-resident or international founders/directors/shareholders. They help maintain proper records and ownership proof regardless of where you’re located.
How do these supplies help with compliance?
They help keep everything organized and at your fingertips—to easily prove to regulators, auditors, banks, or buyers that your corporation is in compliance. Keeping good records helps protect limited liability, facilitates the transfer of shares, and makes annual updates or major changes easy.
Can I get these for an existing corporation, not just a new one?
Absolutely. Whether your corporation is brand new or several years old, these supplies can help you organize (or reorganize) your records, replace old items, issue additional shares, or add seals/wafer options for better document security and professionalism.
