Articles of Incorporation are documents needed for a corporation to exist legally. They typically contain information on the corporation, such as its name, address, founders, legal structure, registered agent, directors, purpose, and stock offerings.
A Foreign business should file an Article of Incorporation with the Secretary of State where it plans to operate.
Secretary of State has offices in various states and territories across the United States. They’re the government institutions with which businesses file most of their paperwork needed to start legally operating in jurisdictions, including Articles of Incorporation for corporations.
