An LLC, or Limited Liability Company, is a business structure that combines the liability protection of a corporation with the tax benefits and flexibility of a partnership. Articles of Incorporation are formal documents filed with the state to legally establish a corporation. Both types of documents are fundamental to registering your business and securing its legal status under state law.
Business formation documentation typically includes the company name, purpose, registered agent information, management structure, and ownership details. Filing these documents with the state officially registers your business and allows you to obtain necessary licenses and permits. Our services guide you through each element to ensure completeness and accuracy in your filings.
Understanding the terminology used in business formation can help clarify the process and what documents are required. Below are definitions of some common terms you may encounter during business formation.
A business structure that provides personal liability protection to its owners while allowing flexible management and pass-through taxation benefits.
Legal documents filed with the state government to officially form a corporation and establish its existence under state law.
A document that outlines the ownership and operational procedures of an LLC, defining roles and responsibilities among members.
An individual or business entity designated to receive official government and legal documents on behalf of your company.
Choosing the right business formation depends on your goals, liability preferences, taxation considerations, and management style. While LLCs offer flexibility and protection, corporations provide benefits such as easier access to capital and stock options. Understanding these differences helps you select the structure that best fits your business plans and legal needs.

Businesses with multiple partners, investors, or complex ownership arrangements benefit from comprehensive documentation to clearly define roles, responsibilities, and profit distribution, reducing potential conflicts.
