One of the most common changes in the life of a corporation is an address change. Corporations change their address for a whole host of reasons; for example, when they’re growing, and they lease a new space, when there is a change in ownership, or when there is a...

A PO box is not considered a physical address, so it does not work as a Registered Office Address or an address for a director.

(Note: The requirement to have a Transparency Register is not only for federal corporations—it also exists for companies formed under the laws of every province in Canada except for Alberta and the three territories. The current difference between provincial corporations and federal corporations is that federal corporations now need to submit some of that information to the corporate registry. In contrast, provincial corporations do not currently need to file any of that information to their respective corporate registries. That could, of course, change in the future… especially since Corporations Canada tends to lead the way in modernizing corporate law, and some of the provinces tend to slowly harmonize with them over time.)

Many people don’t have a separate address for their new business, so they use their personal address. This option is acceptable; however, it’s important to understand that the address of a Federal corporation is public information, which some people may not feel comfortable with. If you are someone who would rather keep your personal information private, then read this article to learn more.

So, the answer to the above question is yes, your role as a shareholder (and some information about you) will be public if you are an individual who owns or controls, directly or indirectly, 25% or more of a company incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act.

The Police are responsible for the enforcement of the majority of traffic regulations where vehicles are moving, such as speeding or other forms of dangerous driving. However, authorised by current legislation, Bedford Borough Council will enforce bus lane contraventions through the issuing of Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs).

The enforcement of bus lanes is carried out by a static approved camera, which can be moved between bus lanes when needed. The camera takes a recording of any unauthorised vehicle using the bus lane and the evidence pack is then assessed by a civil enforcement officer to issue a postal penalty charge notice if necessary.

A minibus is defined as a bus (and so can use all of our bus lanes) as long as it has a minimum of 10 seats including the driver.

Many companies offer “Virtual Address” or “Digital Mailbox” rentals. The services of each company/subscription plan vary. Still, typically, these services give you the ability to have a separate address for your business and have any mail that is sent to that address scanned and forwarded to you. Some companies offer more services than others, so finding a rental option that suits your needs is important. This is a great option for new businesses that work out of their home, as it provides a professional look to potential clients or customers and keeps your home separate from your business.

The Transparency Register lists all of the individuals (i.e. real human beings) that own or control 25% or more of the company.

No, not through Corporations Canada. Corporations Canada does not keep officer information on file; therefore, unless you are also a director, your information will not be available to the public via Corporations Canada. The corporation is required, however, to keep an internal record of the officers of the company—called an Officer’s Register—and this must be kept up to date. Feel free to contact us if you need help keeping your corporation’s officer records up to date.

One important thing to note is that when you incorporate a federal corporation in Canada, you must “extra-provincially register” the corporation in at least one province or territory. In that one province or territory, you must have an address, which will be treated as your corporation’s registered head office address. So, if your business is based in Ontario, you must register in Ontario and have an extra-provincial address in Ontario.

Corporations Canada is required to know information about the directors of a corporation, and they are required to make that information available to the public. This is so that people can understand who is responsible for a company.

Here is an example that helps to explain how the Transparency Register works: A company is owned by the following three persons:

When you incorporate federally, the names and addresses of all directors are publicly available. That being said, Corporations Canada will accept either a residential address OR a different address for service that is not a residential address. An address for service is an address where legal documents can be accepted by the director or someone on the director’s behalf. So, similar to the registered office address, a director can rent a virtual office or digital mailbox to use as an alternate address to their home address.

We are responsible for enforcing the correct use of bus lanes throughout Bedford Borough. Effective and efficient bus lane enforcement allows the Council and its partners to achieve easier and more consistent journey times for buses and taxis through congested areas by allowing the free flow of authorised bus lane traffic.

We hope this article gave you a better understanding of this topic and some guidance on how to keep your personal information private. This is not always possible, as rules vary from one jurisdiction to another, so it’s important to understand what is required in the jurisdiction you plan to incorporate.

Federal corporations are now required to keep a “Register of Individuals with Significant Control”, sometimes referred to as a Transparency Register. The Transparency Register is kept only in the corporation’s Minute Book and is not made public (except that some authorities can demand to see it). Still, since January 2024, federal corporations need to submit some information from the Transparency Register to Corporations Canada annually (and within 15 days of any changes occurring).

If you are preparing to incorporate your new business, but don’t have a separate location from your personal address lined up, there are other options.

Improving the public transport network will also encourage commuters to choose more environmentally friendly forms of travel and thereby reduce CO2 emissions.

The Transparency Register would not contain information about Human Being A because Human Being A only owns or controls 10%. However, the Transparency Register would contain information about Human Beings B, E, and F since each owns or controls, directly or indirectly, 25% or more of the company.
