CBCA and provincial corporations must maintain a compliant minute book — or face up to $5,000 in fines. Law firms charge $500–$1,000 to set one up. MinuteKeep does it in minutes, for $29.

For law firms and corporate service providers.
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.

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.
