The PREC Articles Health Check reads your articles of incorporation in your own browser and rates them Red, Yellow or Green against this criterion and 28 others. Your document is never uploaded to us.

An automated drafting scan, not legal or tax advice. It reads how the articles are drafted; it does not advise on your circumstances, and Capital Toolkit does not file articles with the Province.
