    Using Numbers as company name

    Hi!

    Just happen to see this page and found a lot of companies using numbers as their names in Canada. Do you know why?

    In the learn something new every day department for me ..

    More in the link below ... but this certainly sounds better than HK style made up names like "Golden Trillion Prosperous Co Ltd"

    This is usually done for the convenience of lawyers, who create a shelf corporation or advent corporation and then assign the recognisable identity later.

    If you take a company out and want it done quickly its easier to just go with the number. You can change it later and the government can do all the searches for name similarities, obscenities' and obviously national security
