Is there an Alberta company that you wish to find out information about such as the names and addresses of the officers and directors of the company? Are you wanting to find out the official address of an Alberta company and who the President of the company is? You can find out this information by ordering what is called an Alberta company search or Alberta corporate search.

You will not be able to determine information about an Alberta sole proprietorship or an Alberta partnership from this type of report. If you wish to find out information about a partnership or a sole proprietorship registered in the province of Alberta, you need to obtain an Alberta Business Name Search.

The Corporate search report will tell you the address of the registered office of an Alberta company, the names and addresses for service of all directors, the names, titles and address for service of all officers, and all filings done on behalf of the company such as articles of amendment, the share attributes of the company, all previous names of the company and even ownership of the company. The Alberta government actually provides more information about a company than most other provinces or territories provide. Usually you cannot determine ownership of a company but in Alberta you can. This means you are able to find out the names of all the shareholders.

All provinces and territories in Canada offer these kinds of searches but every jurisdiction calls them by different names and provides slightly different information. When ordering an Alberta corporate search you should ensure to let the search house know what jurisdiction the company was registered in so it can search the proper jurisdiction.

It is important that you provide the service provider with the correct name of the company so that the search is done for that company. In Alberta when a company is registered it is given an Alberta Corporate Access Number. All companies that are incorporated are assigned numbers in whatever jurisdiction they are registered in. If you have this number you should provide it to the search house when you request an Alberta corporate search so you will have a 100% chance of having the correct name search.

The provincial and federal government will not provide you with information about a person such as whaat companies he or she is a director of or an owner of. You must be aware of the companies that an individual owns before you can do a search.
