Description
AMERICA’S BEST INCORPORATION SELF-HELP LEGAL DOCUMENT SOFTWARE
Incorporation is the most common legal structure for a business in the United States. Most established businesses with multiple shareholders eventually incorporate, both for legal protections and tax incentives.
A for-profit corporation is a business organization that is separate and apart from its owners (the owners are called “shareholders”). The corporation is managed by a board of directors which elects officers to carry out the daily operations of the business. A corporation is a legal entity in its own right. As a separate entity, it has its own rights, privileges, and liabilities apart from the individuals who form it.
Because the corporation is a separate legal entity in the eyes of the law, the shareholders are generally not personally responsible for the debts or obligations of the corporation. A stockholder’s personal liability is usually limited to the amount of investment in the corporation and no more.
CREATE A DOMESTIC FOR-PROFIT CORPORATION
If the framework described above is how you would like your business and all of the owners of the business to be treated, then use the Standard Legal’s Incorporation legal forms software to achieve this structure. This package contains information that will allow you to form a FOR PROFIT – DOMESTIC CORPORATION.
Standard Legal’s Incorporation legal forms software contains all of the required forms, information and comprehensive instructions to file for corporate status IN EACH AND EVERY STATE IN THE USA. Incorporations are handled differently in each state, and often times these state requirements can change from year-to-year as well. Standard Legal makes sure that its Incorporation legal forms software package is complete, correct and up-to-date, to make the entire filing process simple and straight-forward.

In addition to these state-specific forms for filing for incorporation, this package also contains the following documents for the ongoing maintenance of the corporate structure:
– Incorporation Overview
– Proceedings of the Incorporators
– By-Laws
– Code of Regulations
These forms contain and outline the required information for establishing the rules that will govern the corporation once the articles of incorporation have been submitted, approved by and documented with the State.

Standard Legal’s Incorporation legal forms software also contains:
– Stock Certificate template for shareholders
– Minutes of Director Meetings (with samples)
– Minutes of Shareholder Meetings (with samples)
Lastly, the Incorporation software from Standard Legal provides a thorough package of background information on the various structural choices that are available to a business owner prior to Incorporating. These detailed observations and step-by-step instructions will help ensure that your business is properly created, registered and documented, and that you are making the right decisions when it comes to creating its legal corporate structure.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
FOR-PROFIT DOMESTIC CORPORATION: This legal forms software title creates documents for standard for-profit domestic corporations only! Entities seeking not-for-profit status cannot use this legal forms software package. Likewise, the forms required for filing a “foreign” corporation (i.e. a corporation organized in one state to conduct business in another state) are not included.
SOUTH CAROLINA: businesses to be incorporated in South Carolina must have their corporate documents signed by an attorney prior to filing. The form for obtaining this signature is included.

SYSTEM, SOFTWARE AND FILE USE REQUIREMENTS:
Standard Legal software works on virtually all Windows, Apple, Macintosh, Android and Linux-based PCs, laptops, tablets and mobile devices.
Generally, the legal forms are provided as Microsoft Word and Adobe PDF files with fillable form fields. Not all forms are provided in both formats in all cases. SOFTWARE FORMATS + SAMPLES >
A full-featured version of Microsoft Word is one option to complete the Word-formatted documents. FREE open-source word processing programs like OpenOffice, LibreOffice, Google Docs, etc. may work as well.
Use the FREE Adobe Reader to complete and print the PDF document files. It is best to use the most up-to-date version of Reader; see ‘Help > Check for Updates’ in the program’s menu to get the latest version. It is CRITICAL that Reader ALWAYS be used as a stand-alone program or mobile app and NEVER within a web browser.
Links to a downloadable .zip file are presented immediately upon the completion of your order. This .zip must be expanded to access the PDF files. Most computers have an expansion program like WinZip pre-installed; if your computer does not we recommend StuffIt Expander (it’s FREE!). Once the file is downloaded, all documents within can be completed offline, no internet connection required. Read the START-HERE.txt file included in the initial download for more instructions.
Access links to the downloadable .zip file and/or the online forms server for this title are available for one (1) year after the date of purchase, upon request. Files downloaded and saved to a device may be used without time limit, but new downloads are no longer accessible one year after the date of purchase. A discount code is available to past customers by email to make a new or updated purchase.

Jerry Lawrence, Newark, OH –
Today I received a phone call from one of your people in answer to my e-mail about the Ohio Incorporation papers being wrong. It is good to know that there are still people of integrity in this world. Thank you, you have instilled confidence in me to use your service now and in the future. God BLESS.
G. Mather, Watsonville CA –
We had formed a low cost Nevada Corporation years ago for a specific venture. After much preparation we were at a point where we needed capital to do a feasibility study. We had found a private investor who agreed to take stock as collateral for the loan, so we wanted to get an agreement done quickly. We only had our laptop computer with us, so we immediately got online and found Standard Legal. We purchased the Incorporation software, prepared the legal documents we needed, found a nearby color printer, and printed out the corporate minutes and the loan and stock agreement with a corporate seal. Thank you for excellent service, Standard Legal!
Rowena Hart, El Cajon CA –
I found Standard Legal online when I started my own corporation. I needed to save money for capital investments and didn’t want to spend any more than necessary on attorney fees. My business attorney suggested I try Standard Legal to get the forms that I could fill out myself, which not only saved me a lot of expensive hourly fees, but also gave me a better understanding of the legal issues and processes of my business. Thanks!
