The corporation's name will appear in the Articles of Incorporation. The name must be distinguishable from other entities on file with the Nevada Secretary of State.

We'll run a search to check for any conflicts as a part of this service.

The state maintains a public page to check for conflicts at the Nevada Secretary of State's Business Entity Search page.

Nevada corporations are required to have a registered agent who "resides or is located in this state". Under Nevada law (NRS 78.090) the agent "must have a street address". Besides being the party to receive legal notice for the corporation, certain records are required to be kept at the agent's address, including: a certified copy of the Articles of Incorporation; a certified copy of its bylaws; a stock ledger or a duplicate stock ledger; certified copies of all amendments to the Articles of Incorporation; certified copies of any amendments to the corporate blaws;

Most corporations appoint an individual who is internally involved with the business.
Registered Agents do not have to be (but can be) an officers, corporate directors or shareholders.
By being appointed to the registered agent position, the agent does not receive ownership right or management powers.

Stating the business purpose is optional, but if it appears from the name of the entity being formed that it is to be regulated by the Financial Institutions Division, Insurance Division, State Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors, State Board of Accountancy or Real Estate Division, the application will need to be approved by the regulating agency before it is filed with the Office of the Secretary of State.

We need to know the corporation's business activity to determine if it needs to be set up as a Professional Corporation or is subject to special restrictions.

A Nevada corporation is required under statute NRS 78.130 to have a President, Secretary and a Treasurer.

One person can fill all offices.
Officers need not be Nevada residents.
Only a natural person is permitted to be an officer of a corporation.
An officer can also be a director or shareholder.
Officers are appointed to and removed from office by directors.

Corporations are managed primarily by the directors. Officers manage day-to-day operations and shareholders exercise oversight since they appoint and remove directors, but directors exercise overall management.

At least one director is required to incorporate in Nevada, but more can be added after the business is incorporated.

Directors do not have to reside in Nevada.
A Director of a Nevada corporation must be a natural person at least 18 years of age, they can also be officers and shareholders.

The Articles of Incorporation need to state the number of shares which are authorized to be issued and their par value. Par value is an arbitrary value assigned to the shares. It does not refer to the actual selling price, although shares cannot be sold at less than the stated Par Value.

Nevada uses the par value to compute filing fees and govern the issuance of shares. The higher the number and value, the higher the filing fee will be.

If you enter information in this section that increases the value of authorized shares above $75,000.00, an increased filing fee will be charged by the Secretary of State.
The filing fees are calculated on the product of the number of authorized shares multiplied by the par value. If "no par value" is used, then the number of athorized shares is multiplied by $1.

Nevada Corp. Filing Fees are Calculated as Follows:
$1 to $75K value of authorized shares = $75.00 filing fee
$75K to $200K value of authorized shares = $175 filing fee
$200K to $500K value of authorized shares = $275 filing fee
$500K to $1,000,000 value of authorized shares = $375 filing fee
If over $1,000,000, the fee increases incrementally up to $35,000.00
The value and number of shares can be changed after incorporating.

Please indicate if shares will be issued immediately after you incorporate, or if the matter will be undertaken by the directors at a later time.

Sale of shares and issuance of stock certificates at this juncture may not be desirable from an economic or strategic standpoint in some instances.

While the Articles must designate the number of authorized shares, it's not required that shares be issued or sold to legally incorporate.

List all parties who will contribute money or other property in exchange for shares of stock.

Statute 78.211 provides that shares to a Nevada corporation can be "issued for consideration consisting of any tangible or intangible property or benefit to the corporation, including, but not limited to, cash, promissory notes, services performed, contracts for services to be performed or other securities of the corporation."

Usually, parties contribute start up capital for their shares in the corporation.
A Shareholder can also be a director and officer.
Shareholders are empowered to appoint and remove directors with or without cause.
Unless the Corporation elects Subchapter S tax status, shareholders can be people, trusts, or other business entities.
If the Corp. will apply for Subchapter S tax treatment with the IRS, all shareholders must be natural persons, and need to be U.S. Citizens.

Please specify the end of the corporation's fiscal year.

A fiscal year is the 12-month period used by corporations for their accounting period.

Most corporations use December 31st for the end of fiscal year.
Subchapter S Corporations must use December 31st, unless special circumstances are demonstrated to the IRS.
