Kentucky For Profit Corporation
For Profit Corporation Name
-
The corporate name must be distinguishable upon records of Secretary of State
from the name of existing business entities filed with the Secretary of State.
The corporation may use one of these names if another corporation consents in
writing or in certain other enumerated cases. The name must include the word
"Corporation," "Incorporated," "Company," "Limited," or an abbreviation
thereof. The name shall not contain language stating or implying the
corporation is organized for a purpose other than that permitted by
the act or the articles.
A corporation is governed by its Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.
The corporation's articles must be prepared in compliance with Kentucky statutes,
according to the specific needs of each corporation and submitted to the Secretary
of State for filing. No forms for Articles of Incorporation are provided. Since
the forming of a corporation is principally governed by statute, it may be wise
to consult an attorney and/or accountant regarding the incorporation process,
the advantages and disadvantages of incorporating and tax consequences.
Incorporating your business will require you to obtain additional license numbers
and permits such as federal and state withholding accounts and corporation license
and tax numbers.
One original and two copies of the Articles of Incorporation must be filed with
the Kentucky Secretary of State along with the correct filing fee and
organizational tax. The other two copies may be photocopies.
Corporate bylaws are not filed with the Secretary of State.
After filing, the corporation will receive two file-stamped copies of the Articles
of Incorporation from the Secretary of State. One file-stamped copy must then be
filed with the county clerk of the county where the corporation's registered
office is located.
