Business Entities ? Filings With The State
By Richard A. Chapo


Nearly all small businesses should form entities to limit their exposure to civil liability in the form of lawsuits. In forming an entity, certain documents have to be filed with the state in question.

States

To the surprise of some, state law instead of federal law governs business entities. When form an entity, you should look to the Secretary of State for your jurisdiction to find out the filing requirements. Some states provide clear and concise information. Other states seem to enjoy making the process difficult and complex. Regardless, all of them have a web site for the Secretary of State.

Corporations

In most states, forming a corporation requires the filing of articles of incorporation. Articles of incorporation requirements differ by state, but typically require a statement of the name of the corporation, the number of authorized shares, the name and address of a registered agent and the name of the incorporator. The incorporator is typically the person signing the articles of incorporation. Once created, the articles are filed with the Secretary of State, which eventually will approve and return them to you. In most states, there is no need to file bylaws, organization minutes or shareholder information.

Limited Liability Companies

Limited liability companies are simple structures and are the creation of creative politicians in Wyoming. In 1977, Wyoming passed the first state laws authorizing the creation of these business entities. Mirrored after corporations, the filing process is similar to corporations, but with little tweaks here and there.

Whereas corporations have articles of incorporation, limited liability companies have Articles of Organization. These Articles of Organization require pretty much the same information as articles of incorporation. The primary difference, however, is most states require you to use a pre-printed form for the articles. Make sure you check with your state to determine if this is a requirement.

Do It Yourself?

If you are a sole proprietor seeking a business entity, you can handle it if you understand the concepts. If you don?t understand the process, get a professional involved.

If there are two or more people in the business, an attorney should be used for liability purposes. These liability purposes arise when one ?owner? takes charge of the filing. When disputes later arise, the take charge owner is inevitably accused of organizing the filing in such a way at to create an advantage.

Yes, it happens all the time.

... gap insurance until recently. I suppose unless you buy a car on finance you might not know about such policies. As I understand it the car gap insurance covers you in the event of a car being stolen and never recovered or one that is deemed a total loss by the insurers. If you still owe money on the car to a finance company then the gap insurance will pay off the difference between what the insurer says the car is worth and what finance you have left on it. Some of the policies will even leave you with some money to use as a deposit on another car. It`s, probably something that many people would never even consider when they take a car out on finance. If the insurance company decides that the car is worth less than you thought it might be when it is deemed a total loss then you could have to stump up the money to pay off the bal...

Gap Insurance - Gap Insurance
... might all be familiar with car insurance but how many people know what gap insurance is? I know that I had never heard about this type of insurance before until it was brought to my attention recently. The gap insurance covers the deprecation on a car in the event of it being stolen and never recovered. How does it work you might wonder and do you need to take it out if you have outstanding finance on the vehicle? Say you have ten thousand pounds worth of car finance on your car but when it gets stolen the insurance company says it`s only worth eight grand. It means you`ll have to find the extra two thousand pounds to pay off the finance company. If you take out gap insurance on the car, this amount will be covered, so you don`t have to find any additional money to pay off the debt. Most people buy cars and decide to keep them for a set amount of time so they know how much fina...
