Additional provisions may be advisable or necessary, depending on the specific needs of

Internal Revenue Service may be required to add information not included on this form.

Please call the Internal Revenue Service at (800) 829-4933 for information to obtain a

advantages and disadvantages of incorporating, and the legal and tax consequences. You

are strongly advised to seek legal advice from an attorney and tax and other business

requisite $75 filing fee with the Secretary of State.

The Articles of Incorporation may be delivered to the Secretary of State in advance, for

with the Articles of Incorporation.

Upon filing with our office, you will receive a certified copy of the Articles and a

Incorporation with the Secretary of State’s office, a copy of the Articles of Incorporation

certified by the Secretary of State and a copy of the Certificate of Incorporation must be
