### **Designs in Progress** ([Figma Link)](https://www.figma.com/design/gZp6YIqDtQSx91GFwAM8wU/DCR---Dissolved-Company-s-Records?node-id=2-2)
### Overview
The Notice of Location of Dissolved Company’s Records is a mandatory filing under section 351 of the BC Business Corporations Act. It applies to companies in a dissolved (historical) state. The filing identifies where records are stored and who is responsible for them during the two-year retention period. It ensures compliance and transparency for audits, claims, and legal actions.
**Key triggers** include changes to any of the following:
- Custodian of records,
- Physical location of records,
- Or record retention conditions.
