Articles of incorporation are the document you file with a state, usually the Secretary of State, to create a corporation. Most states require the corporate name, the number of authorized shares, the registered agent and registered office, and the name and address of each incorporator. State filing fees range from $35 in Montana to $725 in Nevada’s first year. Delaware, New York and New Jersey call it a certificate of incorporation, and Texas calls it a certificate of formation. BusinessAnywhere files articles of incorporation for $0 plus the state fee.
