There are several steps required to legally create a corporation. The first step is to file a document called “articles of incorporation.” This document is filed with the corporations division of their state department and the cost will vary depending on your individual state. You will need: the name of your corporation, the address, the registered agent and possibly the name of the corporation’s directors.

Additionally, you will need to state the purpose of the intended corporation as well as the amount and types of capital stock your corporation will be authorized to issue. There are a few requirements that vary for an S Corporation, but it is relatively the same process just with more finite rules that are tailored to that specific corporation.

A lawyer is essential whenever you want to file an article of incorporation. Incorporating not only requires complying with a number of legal issues across various government agencies, but it is good to get perspective on your rights as an incorporator from a lawyer for the future. Dsd asdas
