Creation of a corporation occurs when properly completed Articles of Incorporation are filed with the correct State Authority and all filing fees are paid. Do I need an Attorney to Incorporate? No. Having an attorney is not a legal requirement to Incorporate EXCEPT in South Carolina where a signature by a S.C. Attorney is required on the Articles of Incorporation. In ALL other states, you can prepare and file the Articles of Incorporation yourself or with the help of a document preparation service such as LegalEzeUSA.

ALL Corporations start as "C" Corporations and are required to pay income tax on taxable income generated by the Corporation. A "C" Corporation becomes an "S" Corporation by completing and filing Federal Form 2553 with the IRS. A "S" Corporation's net income or loss is "passed through" to the shareholders and are included in their personal tax returns. The main restriction or difference between a "C" and "S" Corp is a "S" Corp is limited to fewer then 75 shareholders that must be real, non-resident alien people and not other Corporations.

The primary advantage of incorporating is to limit your liability to the assets of the corporation only. Usually, shareholders are not liable for the debts or obligations of the corporation. Incorporating also allows you to issue and sell STOCK to raise money and define ownership of the Corporation.

Some other advantages include:

• A Corporation's life is UNLIMITED and is not dependent upon its Members.
• Retirement funds and qualified retirement plans, including 401k's may be set up more easily with a Corporation.
• Ownership of a Corporation is transferable.
• Capital can be raised through the sale of stock.

What is a Registered Agent?
Almost every State requires that a corporation have a registered agent. That agent must have a physical location in the formation State. 

How many Directors/Shareholders do I need?
Most states allow for one person to act as shareholder, director, and all officer roles.

What is a Federal Tax Identification Number?
Your corporation is required to have an Employer Identification Number (EIN). We will obtain your EIN number for you and it's included in our express price.

What do I need to do after I incorporate?
You must have your initial shareholder(s) meeting to elect your director(s), if your director(s) haven't been designated in the articles.  Then, you must have your initial organizational meeting of your directors.  At this meeting, you will need to elect your officers, adopt your company's bylaws, and issue your stock (among other actions).
