Do you wish to find out information about the officers and directors of an Alberta company or the registered office address? Would you like to find out who the President is? An Alberta corporate search can be purchased in order to obtain this information. This is also called an Alberta company 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 report will indicate the following (1) registered office of the company, (2) the names and addresses of the directors, (3) the names, titles and addresses of the officers, and (4) a list of all filings made on behalf of the company including articles of amendment, notices of change, annual return filings, etc. (5) the names of the shareholders (owners) of the company. Alberta expands the amount of information it is willing to provide for a company than most other territories and provinces. Other provinces do not track the ownership of companies.

A corporate search can be obtained for any company registered in Canada. In order to obtain a corporate search it helps to know what jurisdiction the company is incorporated in.

You will need to know the proper name of the company. If you do not know this you can as well write the contact person at the search house and tell them you are not sure and they can do a quick check for you to see what names are on file, prior to your spending your money. Every company including companies registered in Alberta have a corporation number assigned at the time of incorporation. In Alberta it is called an Alberta Corporate Access Number. It helps a lot if you can provide this number to the search house and will prevent an error occurring when the company is searched.

You cannot search an individual's name to determine what companies the person is a director on or what companies a person owns. You have to know the name of the companies that he or she owns before you perform the search.
