- Guide to Incorporating a Cooperative Association in British Columbia
Name Reservation:
The first step in incorporation of a cooperative association is the approval of the name through the Names Unit of the Corporate Registry. Once your name is approved, it is reserved for you for a period of 56 calendar days. Any renewals of the reservation period will require payment of another reservation fee.
A name will not be available if it is similar to the name of an existing company. This is so the public is not confused or mislead by similar corporate names.
Refer to the Information on Reserving Your Corporate Name information package for procedure to apply for your name approval.
Documentation:
Refer to the Guide to Incorporating a Cooperative Association in British Columbia information package for procedure.
