Document background
The Holding Company Articles of Incorporation serves as the constitutional document for establishing a parent company structure in Canada. This document is required when creating a corporation intended to hold shares or assets in other companies, whether for investment purposes, tax efficiency, asset protection, or corporate group organization. It must comply with either federal requirements under the CBCA or provincial corporate legislation, depending on the chosen jurisdiction of incorporation. The document contains crucial information about share structure, governance, and operational parameters that will determine how the holding company can function within the Canadian legal framework. It's particularly important for business structures involving multiple subsidiaries, family wealth management, or corporate group reorganizations.
