Choose your stateWhat is a corporation?
A corporation is a state-created entity owned by shareholders. Its bylaws describe governance, with directors and officers carrying distinct responsibilities.
Benefits and trade-offs
A share-based structure can support defined ownership and investment plans. Formal governance and recordkeeping add administrative responsibilities; liability protection is not absolute.
What you need to file
- Proposed company name and alternate names
- Business purpose and principal / mailing addresses
- Shareholders, authorized shares, directors and officers
- Registered agent details and contact information
After formation
An EIN identifies the business for federal tax administration. Your bylaws governs internal operations. Registered agent service and state reports remain ongoing responsibilities; fees and frequency vary by state. Pro and Complete include EIN filing and bylaws.
