Why It Matters
A Registered Office isn't optional — it's required.
Under BC and Ontario corporate law, every corporation must maintain a registered office in the province of incorporation. Skip it, and your corporation is not compliant.
01 — IMAGE
It's Your Business Image
A real downtown office address — not a P.O. box or a corner store — on the public registry, in your filings, and on your business cards.
02 — PRIVACY
It's Your Privacy
Keep your home address off public corporate records, search engines, and the hands of process servers, sales callers, and strangers.
03 — COMPLIANCE
It's Your Compliance
Satisfy the statutory address requirement of the Business Corporations Act so your annual filings stay accepted and your company in good standing.
Why You Need One
Two paths. One protects your corporation.
- Without a Registered Agent
- Missed legal notices — service of process slips through and you find out too late
- Default judgments against your corporation, because nobody received the documents
- Compliance risk — failure to maintain a registered office can lead to administrative dissolution
- Personal address on record — your home address visible on the public corporate registry
- With The Profile
- Privacy protection — a professional commercial address on the public registry instead of your home
- Compliance with the Business Corporations Act — sections 34–40 satisfied through our staffed BC offices
- Timely notice — same-day alerts when statutory mail or service of process arrives
- Professional handling — date stamping, scanning, secure storage, and forwarding

In Plain English
What the Registered Agent Plan does not include.
We believe in honesty up front. Here’s exactly where we draw the line.
We're not a law firm. We're not your bookkeeper.
The Registered Agent Plan gives you a real statutory address and physical/digital records storage. It does not include corporate filings, compliance management, or legal services. If you need those, we’re happy to refer trusted partners — and you can upgrade your address to a full mail plan anytime.
- Active mail handling, scanning, or forwarding (upgrade to a mail plan for this)
- Annual return filings or filing reminders
- Director or officer updates with the registry
- Corporate maintenance or compliance tracking
- Minute book creation or maintenance (storage only)
- Shareholder or director resolutions

FAQ
Questions answered before you ask.
Yes. The Business Corporations Act and its provincial equivalents in BC and Ontario require every corporation to maintain a registered office in its province of incorporation. Failing to do so can lead to administrative dissolution of your corporation. The Registered Agent Services Plan provides that statutory address.
The Registered Agent Plan is purpose-built to serve as your corporation's official statutory address — for the corporate registry and CRA. The Essential Virtual Address is a vanity address for branding, business cards, and online presence. You can use both at the same time, or upgrade to a mail plan anytime to add active mail handling and scanning.
No — the Registered Agent Plan is a statutory address service. It does not include active mail opening, scanning, or forwarding. If you need those, our Digital Mailbox ($75/mo) or Essential + PLUS ($95/mo) plans cover the full mail workflow. You can add one anytime.
No. The Profile is a Registered Agent and address service — not a corporate filing service. We do not file annual returns, update directors/officers, draft resolutions, or maintain your minute book. We will physically and digitally store your minute book, and we're happy to refer you to trusted partners for filings.
Yes. Many of our clients are non-resident founders and international companies. Our staffed BC and Ontario offices satisfy the in-province statutory address requirement for new incorporations and extra-provincial registrations.
Same day. After sign-up, you'll receive instant access to our APP portal, upload your ID, and once authorized you can begin publishing and registering your new business presence immediately. A support team member will reach out to walk you through any final steps.
Yes. Within the first 7 days, if you have not published or used our address in any way and have not completed your setup with us, you can request a full money-back refund. No questions asked.
Absolutely. Upgrade to any of our mail plans — Essential Virtual Address, Digital Mailbox, or Essential + PLUS — anytime your needs change. No extra fees to switch.
Our staffed commercial offices in BC and Ontario — where your legal notices are received, date-stamped, and forwarded same day.
The Law
Why The Profile qualifies under the Business Corporations Act.
The relevant requirements appear in sections 34–40 of the BC Business Corporations Act. Here’s how we meet each one.
§ 34
Physical BC address required
We operate real, leased commercial offices in BC (Burrard, Gastown, Lonsdale) — not P.O. boxes, not corner stores. Satisfies the physical address requirement.
§ 35
Documents must be servable during business hours
Our staff is present during business hours at every location to receive service in person, sign for couriers, and date-stamp incoming legal documents.
§ 35+
Records of office & agent
We can store corporate records and minute books at the registered office — meeting the Act’s expectations for record availability.
✓
Agent maintains an office & filings
The Profile Virtual Services Inc. maintains its own BC office and corporate filings — qualifying us to act as Registered Agent / Agent for Service.
The verdict: The Profile fully qualifies to act as a Registered Agent / Agent for Service under BC law — alongside law firms, accountants, and corporate service companies with real staffed offices.
