A Manitoba corporation's name must end with one of the following: Limited, Limitée, Incorporated, Incorporée, Corporation, Ltd., Ltée, Inc. or Corp.
A Manitoba corporation's name may be in English, French or it may have a version in both languages.
Alternatively, a Manitoba corporation may be assigned a number as its legal name (for example, 123456 Manitoba Inc.). This speeds up the incorporating process and permits immediate delivery of the Articles of Incorporation. The corporation may then register a trade name and be known to its customers as doing business under the trade name. Although the corporation must be identified by its actual name (i.e., the number followed by Manitoba Inc. or Ltd.) for all formal and legal matters and relations (e.g., contracts), the corporation may use its trade name for exterior signs, business cards, letterhead, etc.

A Manitoba corporation requires that a majority of directors be Canadian residents.
