Whichever path you pick, BITRAGE.AI generates the same core legal documents tailored to your business and Alberta-specific requirements. The only difference is who hits "submit."
You'll get name suggestions (with NUANS reservation), articles of incorporation, bylaws template, notice of directors, registered office address designation, GST/HST registration paperwork, and the post-incorporation checklist (CRA Business Number, payroll setup if needed, WCB opt-in if eligible, business licence in your municipality).
Path C — name change of an existing corp. Cheapest if you already have one (~$60 govt fee + name search + agent assistance). Email [email protected] if this applies — we'll walk you through whether the existing corp is in good standing first.
Day 3. Corp filed Day 1, banking + Wave + insurance live Day 1-2, full agent fleet on Day 3.
Yes — every account is in your legal name from minute one. See our disclosures page for the full ownership rules.
Incorporation, banking, bookkeeping, insurance broker, voice receptionist, lead-qualifier, quote drafter, scheduler, customer success follow-up, SEO/local search, social media — plus 4 vertical specialists tuned to your trade.

We are not a law firm. We help organize the paperwork; an Alberta-licensed registry agent or Ownr handles the actual filing. For complex situations we refer to an Alberta corporate lawyer.
