In order to incorporate a new company, there are a number of legal requirements that you must comply with. The most basic of these requirements are the articles of incorporation which acts as the charter to establish the company's existence as a legal entity in the form of a limited liability company (LLC). It is normally filed as a single document at the office of the Secretary of State or in any other state agency that is in charge of business registration. The articles of incorporation forms are the documents that are completed and filed with the office.

Generally, this is the legal document that details the incorporators of the said corporation such as those who initiated the process of incorporation. These are the company promoters and are the people who sign the articles together with other formal documents. They may be the first directors. However, in the case where they are not the directors, the directors also have to sign these documents.

Its purpose of formation which is the nature of the business it intends to conduct, the name and addresses of the legal agent who is authorized to receive the legal documents on its behalf. The legal documents, in this case, include the lawsuits.

In some cases, the company promoters (the ones responsible for its formation) may be responsible for signing this document. Whichever the case, the directors who may or may not be the promoters or initiators have to include their physical addresses and names.
