We suggest when incorporating, you seek legal counsel or advice from an accountant, due to the various types of corporations and partnerships now available by law. Such professionals can best advise you as to which direction is best, based upon your individual needs. Forms can be downloaded from the Secretary of State website (link is available on this page). Costs for recording corporations are listed below. We do require an original, plus two (2) copies of the Articles- refer to Filing Real Estate & Legal Documents, under Areas of Service on this site.
