Start a BCA incorporation without retyping founder details

Incorporators forming a new Ontario business corporation under the Business Corporations Act repeat proposed corporation name, registered office, director names and addresses, and incorporator contact information on articles and notices. This guide is an example of storing them once in hivi.

Official form and source

Start from the official source and always use the current version — form numbers and links can change:

How hivi makes it faster

1. Save it once. Store your proposed name, registered office, director addresses, and incorporator contacts in your hivi profile.
2. Keep documents ready. Upload supporting documents to hivi Files so you are not searching at form time.
3. Autofill the form. Use the hivi Chrome extension on a web form, or fill a PDF from your saved profile inside hivi.
4. Review and submit yourself through the official channel.
