Corporate Searches

It is important to know both who you are working with currently and who you may do work with in the future. Corporate searches verify the company name, registered office and sometimes lists Directors, Officers and/or Shareholders of the corporate entity being searched. Within each province, the information provided in corporate reports can vary.  

Performing corporate searches prior to starting a project with a new customer helps you determine whether or not they are worth working with. It is important to do your research prior to entering into a contract with or granting credit to a company.  Protect yourself and prevent any potential issues with "iffy" customers.

Increase Your Visibility



Whether you are physically on site working or not, make sure all parties involved know you are involved in the project as well. Also if you are subcontracted to the project, others may not be aware that you are involved in the project. A pre-lien letter is a notice sent to your client, the general contractor (if different than your client), and the property owner, informing them that you are involved in the project.  

The letter lists your contact information, describes your work on the project and outlines who you have been hired by. Sending this notice is the easiest way to let everyone know who you are and how to contact you. The notice also requests that the recipient forward any available payment or bonding information to you.  

This letter does not reflect upon the creditworthiness of the recipient, it simply lets those involved in the project know who you are.
