Incorporate a Company or a Society (Association)

The law sets out various kinds of “persons” . There are the flesh and blood type (you and I) and there are the statutory type known as Creatures of Statute, such as societies, foundations, government agencies of all kinds and companies or corporations.

These are created by Statute or a law enacted by the legislature (in BC companies or “incorporations” are created by the Business Corporations Act of BC). These artificial legal “persons” are business organizations through which goods and services can be bought or sold, products can be manufactured and other business or commercial activities conducted.

These “legal creatures” must be properly and expertly created and maintained through legal processes by lawyers acting in the best interests of the client.
