Overview
Incorporation Project—ALL FORMS MUST BE FILED IN WITH THE DETAIL REQUESTED!!!! CREATE ANY INFORMATION THAT YOU FEEL IS NECESSARY!!!
In this project you are going to create a corporation under the laws of the state of New Hampshire.
First you need to decide what you are going to call your corporation. In NH it generally must include words such as Inc. or Corporation in the name.
Locate the web site for the Secretary of State for New Hampshire. Answer the following questions.
What are the eight areas that can be accessed from the home page? Look for the buttons along the top of the opening web page.
- What are the filing fees for the Articles of Incorporation, application for reserved name, and the application to transfer the reserved name to your new corporation. (these fees can be found in the NH statutes which are linked to the Secretary of State's web site and also on the web site itself).
- Use the Business Name Lookup under the Corporate Division to see if there is a corporation with the same name that you have chosen. The Name Lookup will take you to a "Quick Start" page. On the bottom left is a link to just look up a business name without creating a "Quick Start" account. If there is, or even if there is one that is too close, you will have to chose a different name. Take a screen shot of the page that turns up with the information about whether your name is acceptable.
Go to corporate forms. Find a form to apply to RESERVE your corporate name. Fill in the form so it can be submitted to me.
- Find a form for Articles of Incorporation. Fill in the forms for submission to me.
- Find a form to Transfer a Trade Name to your corporation. Fill in the form to submit to me.
- Compile the following into ONE file if possible. If not, then you can upload as separate files, but ONE is better. Submit to me as an attachment in Canvas:
- Your chosen name.
- A list of the eight areas that are accessible from the Secretary of State’s website.
