Electronic minute book

Your corporation’s legal memory, complete and compliant.

What is a corporation's minute book for?

Every business corporation must keep its registers current: resolutions, share certificates, registers of directors and of shareholders. That is the minute book, and its absence complicates everything, from financing to selling the business.

This package is for corporations already incorporated but without corporate records. The lawyer responsible for your file prepares the whole set of documents, in a secure and compliant electronic form.

What is included in the minute book

  • Articles and tailored organizational resolutions
  • Share certificates
  • Registers of directors and of shareholders
  • Securities register
  • Compliant with Québec and federal legislation
  • A secure electronic format you can always reach

Frequently asked questions

Worth knowing

The package is $349 plus taxes, for a total of $401.26. It covers your corporation’s articles, organizational resolutions, registers and share certificates.

The minute book brings together your corporation’s corporate documents: articles, by-laws, resolutions, registers of directors and of shareholders, share certificates. The law requires the corporation to keep these registers current.

Trouble during a financing, a tax audit, a sale of the business or a dispute between shareholders. Financial institutions and buyers almost always require a complete minute book.

Yes. Keeping registers in electronic form is recognized, provided the documents remain accessible and can be consulted on request. Our electronic format complies with both Québec and federal legislation.

Yes. This service creates your minute book as it should have been set up on day one: initial organization, by-laws, registers and certificates. It does not, however, make up the missing years: the annual resolutions for past years are a separate mandate, offered through our resolution drafting service.

The corporation’s by-laws, the organizational resolutions, the corporate registers, the share certificates and the share capital structure, prepared by the lawyer from the information collected online.

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.

To go deeper

Our article on the minute book explains what it contains, who may consult it and what its absence costs in a transaction.

It is then kept up through the annual resolutions.
