==Decide on a name for your company==
The name must end in “Limited,” “Ltd.,” “Inc.,” “Incorporated,” “Corp.” or “Corporation,” or the French equivalent to these words. Your new company name needs to be distinctive and have a descriptive element, or you can choose a numbered BC company name. The Corporate Registry has more information on choosing a name – seewwwsee [http://www.bcregistryservices.gov.bc.ca www.bcregistryservices.gov.bc.ca] and click on the “B.C. Companies” link. Note that if you decide to carry on business under a trade name, you have to display the full legal name of your company on certain documents like contracts and invoices.
==You must then reserve the name with the Corporate Registry==
