INCORPORATION OF A CONNECTICUT STOCK CORPORATION
We are pleased to enclose forms to incorporate and organize a stock corporation in the State of Connecticut. Enclosed you
will find a Certificate of Incorporation form and an Organization and First Report form. The fees for filing these forms can be
found on the fee Schedule. The Organization and First Report must be filed within 30days of the date on which the
corporation holds its organization meeting. Before filing the forms described above, you may reserve the name you wish for
your corporation. **If a name reservation is submitted for filing it would be prudent to wait until after a confirmation of filing
has been issued to file incorporation documents.
The filing of the above referenced documents represent the bare essentials of incorporation in Connecticut. There
are many other considerations to take into account when forming a corporation. For this reason, we recommend
that an attorney and/or other competent advisor be consulted. Please contact the Department of Revenue Services
or your tax advisor as to any potential tax liability relating to your business.
* The minimum franchise tax must be paid by corporations, which authorize 20,000 shares or less upon incorporation.
Corporations which authorize more than 20,000 shares must pay a franchise tax calculated on a sliding scale which can
be found on the Fee Schedule.
**The fee to reserve a corporate name for 120 days can be found on the Fee Schedule. See enclosed form instructions
for more specifics filing details.
