What kind of businesses can incorporate under the CBCA?
Almost any type of business may incorporate under the CBCA. However, mortgage, banking, insurance, loan and trust companies, and other Financial Institutions, cooperative, Chambers of Commerce as well as not-for-profit corporations are incorporated under different statutes. You can find further information about mortgage, banking, insurance, loan trust companies and other Financial Institutions at The Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions website. You can also find more information about Chambers of Commerce and cooperatives in the Forms, Policies, Fees and Legislation section of this site. There are no restrictions, such as minimum company size, on the businesses that may incorporate under the CBCA. While all provinces and territories have similar legislation for companies operating within their borders, only the CBCA is national in scope.
