CORPORATE SEARCH GUIDE
Every business registered in Quebec has a public record in the enterprise register kept by the Registraire des entreprises du Québec. A corporate search pulls official information from that record, or from the federal or another provincial registry, so you can confirm who you are dealing with or prove your own company's status.
A corporate profile report gives the details: directors, address, status, and filing history. A certificate of status or certificate of good standing is a formal attestation that the corporation exists or is compliant. Federal corporations get theirs from Corporations Canada.
To manage your own record online, you need secure access. In Quebec, businesses use clicSÉQUR Express with an access code tied to their NEQ. Ontario corporations use a company key for the Ontario Business Registry. We can request either on your behalf.

A search sometimes reveals missed annual declarations, outdated directors, or a corporation that has been struck off. These issues can block a certificate of good standing, a loan, or a sale. The record must be corrected before the registry will issue a clean certificate.
We can fix what the search finds, with corporate filings, business updates, and corporation revival, so your company's record is accurate and in good standing.
Tell us who is asking for it and why, and we'll tell you what to order, with no obligation.

What is a corporate search?
A corporate search retrieves official information about a business from a government registry, such as its legal name, status, directors, and address. In Quebec, this information comes from the enterprise register.
Who needs a corporation profile report?
Lenders, buyers, lawyers, and business partners use a corporate profile report to verify a company before a transaction. Owners also order one to check that their own record is accurate.
What is the difference between a certificate of status and a certificate of good standing?
A certificate of status confirms that a corporation exists on the register on a given date. A certificate of good standing goes further and confirms it is up to date with its required filings.
When will I be asked for a certificate of good standing?
Banks, investors, government tenders, and other provinces often require one before financing, awarding a contract, or accepting an extra-provincial registration. Order a certificate of good standing when you get the request.
Can I get a certificate if my filings are late?
Usually not. A corporation with missed annual declarations is not in good standing, so the missing filings must be brought up to date first through our corporate filing service.
How do I replace lost articles of incorporation?
You can order a copy of your certificate and articles, including any amendments, from the registry where the corporation was created. Our copy of certificate and articles service handles the request.
What is a clicSÉQUR Express code?
It is an access code that lets a business use clicSÉQUR Express, the Quebec government's simplified login for certain online services. The code is linked to the business's Quebec enterprise number (NEQ).
Who can request a clicSÉQUR code for a business?
The request must come from someone authorized to act for the business, such as an owner, director, or officer. Keep your registered address current, because codes are sent to the address on file.
What is a company key and who needs one?
A company key is a secure code that gives access to a corporation's record in the Ontario Business Registry. Corporations registered in Ontario need one to file updates online, and our company key request service obtains it.
Is corporate information in Quebec public?
Yes, most information in the Quebec enterprise register is public, including a business's name, status, address, and directors. Certified documents and official attestations must be ordered from the registry.
Can I search a federal or out-of-province corporation?
Yes, federal corporations are searched through Corporations Canada and other companies through their home province's registry. A federal or outside corporation operating in Quebec also appears in the Quebec register.
What should I do if the search shows my corporation was struck off?
A struck-off corporation has lost its legal status, usually for missed filings, and should be restored before it signs contracts or banks. Our revival service files what is needed to bring it back.
