Articles of Incorporation (BC Non-Profit)

Articles of Incorporation*

Standard (By default ): $00

Advanced (Your Own Words): Write or attach your own words $200

Basic share structure: This business structure commonly used when a corporation has one single owner (shareholder). It allows for the issuance of an unlimited number of shares without specifying any particular share class. This structure does not differentiate between voting shares and non-voting shares.

Standard share structure: This Structure is highly recommendable when a corporation has multiple owners from the same family, such as spouses, children, or parents. This type of Articles of Incorporation enables the issuing of both class A common voting shares and class B common non-voting shares, but does not allow for the issuing of preferred shares. This is a sensible decision that allows for the family members to maintain control over the company while still allowing for the potential of financial growth. Class A shares typically have more voting rights and greater control over corporate decisions, while Class B shares may have fewer voting rights or none at all. The specific voting rights and differences between Class A and Class B shares can vary by company and are defined in the company's articles of incorporation or bylaws.

Custom share structure: When a corporation has more than one owner and any one of the owners are non-family members, such as relatives, friends, or business partners, it is commonly used to create custom share classes. These classes can include preferred shares, which can provide certain benefits to the owners, or they can be without preferred shares. This allows the owners to customize the share classes to their own needs and preferences.Seals are typically used to indicate authenticity authenticity, official approval, or membership in a particular group or organization. Seals are commonly used on Business documents.
