Corporate records and equity guides by jurisdiction

Because most people don't think "I have a minute book question" first. They think "I'm Ontario-incorporated" or "I'm a Delaware C-corp" first. Starting from the jurisdiction is faster when you already know yours. If you'd rather start from a topic, each topic has its own hub linked from the sidebar.

The 41 jurisdictions cover the federal CBCA plus the ten Canadian provinces and the federal CBCA, the 29 US states most commonly used for incorporation (Delaware, California, New York, Texas, Florida, Nevada, Washington, Massachusetts), and the UK. Together they cover the overwhelming majority of private corporations our buyers operate. We'll add more provinces and US states as coverage expands.

No. Many corporations are incorporated in one jurisdiction (e.g. Delaware) and registered to do business as 'extra-provincial' or 'foreign' corporations in others. The home jurisdiction's statute governs the corporation's internal affairs (minute book, share register, governance); the extra-provincial registration handles operating presence in other places. Each jurisdiction has its own filing obligations.

The four topic hubs (minute book, share certificate, annual return, share register) each show one topic across all 41 jurisdictions, with a comparison table. They're linked from the sidebar on this page. This page is the inverse: one jurisdiction across all four topics.
