"Used to dread annual resolution season. Now I just log in, confirm nothing changed, and download. Done in 5 minutes. Saved over $2,000 in legal fees in my first year alone. Should have found this sooner."

Most Canadian corporations are out of compliance. They just don't know it yet.

Under the CBCA and every provincial statute, incorporated companies must maintain an up-to-date minute book. Miss your annual resolutions and you risk losing limited liability protection, CRA complications, and deal-killing problems when you go to sell or raise money.

Frequently asked questions

You can try, but you probably shouldn't stake your corporation on it. LLMs hallucinate legal details — a wrong incorporation date, a missing ISC register, or an incorrect filing deadline means your minute book fails an audit. They don't know CBCA vs Ontario vs BC requirements (filing deadlines, required registers, and document structure all differ by jurisdiction). A minute book isn't a single document — it's a structured legal record with 10+ interconnected pieces that must be internally consistent. And there's no version control, no compliance tracking, no deadline reminders. One mistake can mean $5,000 fines or involuntary dissolution of your corporation. MinuteKeep generates jurisdiction-specific, legally compliant minute books in minutes — with every document properly formatted and cross-referenced.

No — that's the whole point. MinuteKeep uses the same templates and document structures used by corporate law firms, but automates the entire process. You fill in your company details, and we generate a complete, audit-ready minute book. That said, if you have complex corporate structures or unique legal situations, we always recommend consulting a lawyer.

Depending on your jurisdiction, penalties range from $5,000 fines to automatic dissolution of your corporation. Federal (CBCA) and BC corporations must file within 60 days of incorporation. Ontario, Alberta, and Quebec corporations have 6 months from fiscal year-end. Beyond penalties, an incomplete minute book can create personal liability for directors and block future transactions like selling your business or raising investment.

We currently support Federal (CBCA), Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, and Quebec — covering the vast majority of Canadian incorporations. We're expanding to all 13 provinces and territories.

Minutes, not weeks. Enter your company details, and MinuteKeep generates your complete minute book — including organizational resolutions, bylaws, share certificates, director consents, shareholder registers, and all required compliance documents. You'll receive both PDF and Word formats delivered to your email.

Yes. MinuteKeep generates the same organizational documents that corporate law firms produce. Our templates follow the requirements of the CBCA and provincial business corporations acts. The documents are yours — properly formatted, jurisdiction-specific, and audit-ready.

Absolutely. Many of our users switched from Ownr (tired of $199/yr renewals and poor support) or MinuteBox (frustrated with bugs and delayed features). MinuteKeep gives you a complete, reliable minute book at a fraction of the cost.

Yes. No contracts, no cancellation fees. Cancel anytime from your billing settings and you keep Pro access until the end of your billing period. Your generated documents are always yours to keep — they don't disappear when you cancel.

Yes. Your data is encrypted with 256-bit SSL in transit and stored securely at rest. We never share your corporate information with third parties. Payments are processed by Stripe — we never see or store your credit card details. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
