'''Registrar of Companies'''

*http://www.bconline.gov.bc.ca (the online search feature is not currently available to individuals, however).

Partnerships and non-profit societies are also registered in the company directory and would show up in a search. In cases that involve franchises, it is important to do a company search to see how the other party is registered; it may be possible to sue the parent company and the individual who owns the franchise rights. The search costs $10, and cheques and/or money orders should be made payable to the Minister of Finance at: BC Registries and Online Services, Courier: 200 - 940 Blanshard Street, Victoria, BC V8W 3E6, Mail: PO Box 9431 Stn Prov Govt, Victoria, BC V8W 9V3.

'''NOTE:'''  If the defendant is a business, it may be worth checking if that defendant has declared bankruptcy. To do so contact Industry Canada’s Head Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy at (613) 941-2863 for free.
