What cannot be confirmed by a corporate search of a small closely held CBCA corporation?

  1. The corporation's registered office address

  2. The names of the corporation's directors

  3. The corporation's current legal status

  4. The names of shareholders

The correct answer is: The names of shareholders

A corporate search of a small closely held CBCA corporation can confirm the corporation's registered office address, the names of the corporation's directors, and the corporation's current legal status. However, the names of shareholders cannot be confirmed through a corporate search. Shareholder information is usually confidential and not disclosed in public records. Therefore, the other options are incorrect because they can be confirmed by a corporate search, but the names of shareholders cannot. In order to obtain shareholder information, one would need to review the corporation's shareholder register or obtain consent from the shareholders.
