Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who wish to establish a corporation in Missouri will find this kit essential for preparing the necessary legal documents. The Articles of Incorporation serve as the foundational document that outlines the corporation's structure and purpose, ensuring compliance with state regulations.
  • Situations requiring the formation of a new business entity often necessitate the filing of Articles of Incorporation. Entrepreneurs looking to limit personal liability and formalize their business operations can utilize this kit to navigate the incorporation process smoothly.
  • For those seeking to raise capital through stock issuance, the Articles of Incorporation provide the framework for authorizing shares. This kit includes sample clauses and instructions that help ensure compliance with Missouri's specific requirements for stock and corporate governance.

  • Professionals advising clients on business formation will benefit from this comprehensive kit. It includes checklists and sample documents that streamline the incorporation process, making it easier to assist clients in establishing their corporations in Missouri.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate for individuals looking to start a sole proprietorship, as sole proprietorships do not require Articles of Incorporation. Instead, they can operate under their personal name or a trade name without formal incorporation.
  • – If a business is already incorporated and simply needs to make changes to its structure or governance, using this kit is unnecessary. Instead, the business should file amendments or updates to existing Articles of Incorporation.
  • – For businesses seeking to form a limited liability company (LLC), this kit is not suitable. LLCs have different formation documents and requirements that are distinct from those of corporations.
  • – In cases where a business is planning to operate as a partnership, the Articles of Incorporation are not applicable. Partnerships have their own formation documents and do not require incorporation.
  • – If the business is not ready to comply with the legal requirements for incorporation, such as having a registered agent or a defined business purpose, this kit should not be used until those conditions are met.
