Alberta Corporate Search - Finding Info About an Alberta Company
Is there an Alberta company that you wish to find out information about such as the names and addresses of the officers and directors of the company? Are you wanting to find out the official address of an Alberta company and who the President of the company is? You can find out this information by ordering what is called an Alberta company search or Alberta corporate search.
You will not be able to determine information about an Alberta sole proprietorship or an Alberta partnership from this type of report. If you wish to find out information about a partnership or a sole proprietorship registered in the province of Alberta, you need to obtain an Alberta Business Name Search.
An Alberta corporation search provides (a) all previous and current names of the company; (b) names and addresses of the officers and directors, (c) the share attributes and the registered office address. This report even tells you the names of the owners of the company. More facts about the company are provided when you obtain an Alberta company search than would be provided for companies in other provinces and territories. Other provinces will not tell you the ownership of a company. The Alberta company search report tells you the names of the shareholders.
A company search is provided by the provincial and territorial governments and each jurisdiction has its own search system for that province or territory. It is important to know the jurisdiction where the company was incorporated when you order a corporate search from a search house.
It is important that you provide the service provider with the correct name of the company so that the search is done for that company. In Alberta when a company is registered it is given an Alberta Corporate Access Number. All companies that are incorporated are assigned numbers in whatever jurisdiction they are registered in. If you have this number you should provide it to the search house when you request an Alberta corporate search so you will have a 100% chance of having the correct name search.
You cannot search an individual's name to determine what companies the person is a director on or what companies a person owns. You have to know the name of the companies that he or she owns before you perform the search.
