Note reasons to have Segev LLP as your Corporate Address

YES

If NO, please provide registered and records office address (this must be an address in BC, and can not be a PO box):

Why have a Law Firm as the Corporate Address for your Company?

We manage any communications with the Corporate Registry on your behalf. Often times directors and officers are too busy or under-resourced to see to filing on time and properly.
We ensure that annual filing deadlines are met and that annual filings are handled properly.
If the registered address is a home or small office, and there are multiple shareholders, then the shareholders must come to the person’s home or office for the minute books if needed. This can be problematic if there are multiple shareholders.
A business might be perceived as small if a home address or small office is provided versus a corporate address.
Using our office as the registered office of the company can help keep your business address private if that’s desired. Some offices are not public facing and do not want to attract unannounced visitors.
If your office is located in a managed office like a WeWork you will not have to worry about filing a notice of change of address if you move to a new office building or office within your existing managed office solution.
We also ensure that that corporate records are maintained in good order and are current.
