For Profit Corporation Name

The name must contain the word "Corporation," "Incorporated,"
"Limited," or an abbreviation thereof. The name may not be the

A business corporation may be formed by filing a Certificate of Incorporation
pursuant to Section 402 of the Business Corporation Law. The Department of
State has prepared a booklet entitled "Forming a Corporation in New York State."
The booklet is intended for use by first-time domestic incorporators.
It includes answers to commonly asked questions, names and addresses of
other government agencies that a corporation may need to contact, instructions
for completing a Certificate of Incorporation, tax information, and fee
information. The booklet has been designed to make the filing of a Certificate
of Incorporation as easy as possible.
Corporations are formed by filing a certificate of incorporation with
the New York State Department of State.
Upon filing your certificate of incorporation, the Department of State
will issue an official filing receipt. This receipt will reflect the date
your certificate was filed, the name of your corporation, an extract of
the information you provided in the certificate and an accounting of the
fees you paid.
Supplies such as minute books, stationery, stock certificates and corporate
seals are available through office supply stores. There are no laws requiring
corporations to obtain any of these. Some financial institutions and title
companies require a corporate seal on documents signed by a corporation and
are within their rights to do so.
