The pre-defined Articles of Incorporation include standard legal precedents compliant with
Industry Canada.
When you choose this option, you only need to supply variable data such as the corporate name,
address, director and incorporator’s name(s) and address(es). The relevant precedents will be
populated in the appropriate sections based on your selection from the 2 types of corporate
structures offered. You may still edit the pre-defined data if required.
Two templates are available – simply select the option that matches your corporate structure:
• Common shares only
• Common and preference shares

If your corporate structure does not fall into one of the above categories, or if you wish to use your
own custom precedents, please select the option “My own data”.
If unsure, please seek legal advice to determine which best suits your Corporation.
