Companies and small enterprises may profit from incorporation in a variety of ways. A corporation is a legal organization that provides improved fundraising options as well as restricted liability. It continues on beyond the lives and property of its original founders and stockholders. It can theoretically exist endlessly. Nevertheless, all of these advantages are accompanied with increasing company formation procedures. Below are some of the typical criteria, but keep in mind that your state’s laws may impose more or less limitations.

1. Choose a Company Name
Initially, you must choose and study a name for your organization. This is a fictional name because, even though you are filing for it, it will not be your true name. This is your DBA (doing business as) name. The name should be distinct from those in your state. You may search all of the registered business names in your state by going to your state’s Small Business Administration. Just try to register a name for your company that hasn’t already been registered. Otherwise, you’ll have to start from scratch

2. Draft the Articles of Incorporation.
In general, you may locate Articles of Incorporation on your state’s Small Business Administration website or in the clerk’s office at your local courthouse. The articles of incorporation vary greatly from state to state, however they often contain the following:
The name(s) of the company owner(s) (s)
Business address Company name
Want to be a C-Corporation
3. Send it to the appropriate state agency via mail.
After you have completed the articles of incorporation, you must send them to your state’s Secretary of State or the Small Business Administration Agency. This mailing should contain the registration cost.
When the appropriate government official has reviewed your articles of incorporation, he will inform you if everything is in order. You should be given a Certificate of Incorporation or something similar. You are now a legitimate C-Corporation and may start referring to yourself as such.
