Articles of Incorporation: Once a party decides to take corporate form, and in which state to be incorporated, specific actions must be taken to ensure the business will be recognized and treated as a corporate entity by law. This requires the filing of certain documents with a state's Corporations Commission, usually a division of the Secretary of State's office. Our office has filed hundreds of articles of incorporation in various jurisdictions and has assisted clients in doing the same. We not only prepare the relevant documents, we advise clients as to which jurisdiction they need to be filed, as well as the number of initial shares to authorize and why.
