New Mexico Pre-Incorporation Kit
Planning on incorporating? Don’t start without our pre-incorporation kit!
This kit provides the necessary tools for determining the details of a corporation’s purpose, structure and type prior to incorporation. Using the included worksheets and checklists, potential business owners will be able to have before them all of the basic data to use in preparing the necessary incorporation paperwork.
In addition, the process of preparing these worksheets and checklists will also help uncover any potential differences of opinion among the persons desiring to form the corporation. Often, conflicts and demands are not known until the actual process of determining the corporate structure begins. Frank discussions regarding the questions of voting rights, number of directors, and other management decisions often will enable potential associates to resolve many of the difficult problems of corporate management in advance, thereby avoiding much bigger problems in the future.
The use of written worksheets will also provide all persons involved with a clear and permanent record of the information. This may provide the principals of the corporation with vital support for later decisions that may be required.

· Instructions for completing Pre-Incorporation Worksheet
