Annual compliance kit

Every year your corporation has obligations. One order, and the year is dealt with.

What does a corporation's annual compliance involve?

Every year your corporation must file its updating declaration and adopt its annual resolutions: approving the financial statements, electing the directors, appointing the officers. Many entrepreneurs forget, and the registers fall further behind year after year.

The Annual compliance kit brings it all together: the lawyer prepares your annual resolutions of the directors and of the shareholders, then files the annual updating declaration with the appropriate register. For a federal corporation, the kit covers both Corporations Canada and the Québec registrar.

No commitment: you order each year, when your deadline comes round. A file kept clean means an easier financing, a sale without surprises and audits without stress.

What is included in the compliance kit

  • Annual resolutions of the directors and of the shareholders
  • Approval of the financial statements, election and appointments recorded
  • Annual updating declaration with the Québec registrar (and with Corporations Canada for a federal corporation)
  • Minute book updated
  • Official confirmations sent by email
  • Accredited intermediary with the Québec registrar: no clicSÉQUR code required

Worth knowing

$449 plus taxes for a Québec corporation (total $516.24) and $549 plus taxes for a federal corporation (total $631.21), which covers both Corporations Canada and the Québec registrar.

The annual resolutions of the directors and of the shareholders, approving the financial statements, electing the directors and appointing the officers, together with the annual updating declaration to the appropriate register and the updating of your minute book.

The law requires that certain decisions be taken each year and entered in the minute book. Years of missing resolutions seriously complicate a financing, a tax audit or a sale of the business.

No. The kit carries no commitment: you order it each year, when your deadline comes. No automatic renewal, no recurring payment.

Ideally in the weeks following your fiscal year-end, once your financial statements are ready, or when your annual declaration falls due. Behind? Order now and we will put it right.

The registrar update settles the public register only. The kit adds the internal side, your annual resolutions and your minute book, for compliance that is complete, both public and corporate.

We normally prepare and file within 24 to 48 business hours, depending on how busy the period is. The issuance of official documents by the authorities, such as the Québec enterprise registrar or Corporations Canada, depends on those authorities’ own processing times.

You add the service to your cart and pay securely online. You then send us the necessary information, and the lawyer responsible for your file carries out the mandate. You receive your documents by email.

No. The AI assistant exists only to help you choose among our services; it has no legal effect. All legal work is performed by the lawyer responsible for your file, a member of the Barreau du Québec.

If you withdraw before the work begins, we refund you, less processing and billing administration fees of $100. No refund is possible once the work has begun. If we are not in a position to serve you, you are refunded in full.
