Every corporation must authorize the number of shares available to be issued to shareholders in its Articles of Incorporation. Once all of the authorized shares have been issued, the corporation cannot issue additional new shares until the Articles of Incorporation are amended to authorize more shares. Unless otherwise specified, we recommend authorizing 10,000 shares of stock and then issuing only 1,000 shares to the initial shareholders, leaving 9,000 shares available for future investors and shareholders. Each shareholder’s percentage ownership interest is determined by dividing the number of shares issued to the shareholder by the total number of shares issued to all shareholders. For example, if there are two initial shareholders who each want to own 50% of the corporation, each shareholder would be issued 500 shares. A corporation must pay corporate taxes on its profits at the state and federal levels unless it makes an S-Corp election, which allows the profits and losses to pass through to the individual shareholders. This avoids double taxation on profits at the corporate level and on dividends at the individual shareholder level. You cannot make the S-Corp election if there will be more than 100 shareholders or if any of the shareholders is a corporation or LLC.What is the total number of shareholders?*Enter a number between 1 and 5.How many total shares are authorized?*The default is to authorize 10,000 shares unless you specify another amount.How many total shares are issued?*The default is to issue 10% of the authorized shares (1,000), or an amount divisible by the total number of shareholders so as to avoid fractional shares. For example, 999 shares for 3 shareholders, or 1000 shares for 5 shareholders.List of Shareholders Shareholder Name Percentage Ownership Number of Shares Initial Capital Contribution Actions There are no Shareholders.

The minimum number of directors is three (3) unless there are fewer than three (3) shareholders, in which case the number of directors may be equal to the number of shareholders (e.g. if there is only one (1) shareholder, only one (1) director is legally required.) Unless otherwise specified, all shareholders will be listed as directors with the corporation’s address as the contact address for each director.Company Directors Director Name Actions There are no Directors.

EIN Responsible PartyAll corporations are required to have a Federal Employee Identification Number (“FEIN” or just “EIN”). In order to obtain an EIN, the IRS requires the corporation to designate one executive of the corporation (generally the CEO) to be the responsible party for the corporation.
