🚨 WAIT… 3 WEEKS?! 😳
Yes, you read that right!
Thinking of starting a business in British Columbia? Well, before you get too excited about your new business name, you might want to check the current processing times at BC Registries!
⏳ Name approval delays can mean waiting weeks before you can move forward with incorporation under your chosen name.
And if you’re a business owner trying to get things moving, you know that 3 weeks can feel like 3 months! 😅
💡 A little lawyer tip:
If you’re planning to incorporate, submit your name request EARLY!
And here’s something many entrepreneurs don’t realize: You may be able to incorporate immediately using a numbered company and deal with the business name later.
At Rahman Patel Law, we help entrepreneurs navigate the legal side of starting and growing their businesses.
Because starting a business is exciting enough without unexpected paperwork delays!
