$199 + State Fees

This page includes a schedule of fees and prices charged to incorporate in Arizona. Costs on this page apply to forming an Arizona Corporation doing business for profit.

Drafting Articles of Incorporation

We draft the Articles of Incorporation including indemnification clauses for Directors, the Certificate of Disclosure under ARS §10-202(D) and an Acceptance of Appointment by the Statutory Agent.

These documents are delivered to your email address on the same day you order.

Just sign and fax the prepared documents to our toll-free number, and we'll file the Corporation within 3 business days.

Name Clearance Search

Before we draft the formation documents, we'll conduct a search to be sure the proposed name is acceptable with the Corporation Commission and that no conflicts exist.

Corporate names cannot conflict with trade names, DBAs, other corporations or companies filed with the Corporation Commission or Secretary of State.

In-Person Registration

Filing the incorporation documents in-person, over-the-counter at the Corporation Commssion enables us to secure:

  1. the Corporation's state entity registration number,
  2. the incorporation date and
  3. a conformed copy of the Articles of Incorporation, all on the same day your Corporation is filed.

Conformed Copies, Arizona Registration Number Inside 3 Days

The entity registration number and a conformed copy of the Articles of Incorporation are sent to you the same day the corporation is filed.

Now you have conclusive proof of incorporation under ARS 10-203 (meaning you can get the Federal EIN and open your corporate bank account).

Corporate Bylaws and Organizational Action Authorizing Directors and Officers to Undertake Business

The bylaws and Organizational Action of Board of Directors are also provided to you with the conformed Articles of Incorporation (immediately upon registering the corporation).

This is to document the Directors and Officers are authorized to open accounts, enter contracts and undertake business on behalf of the corporation.

Expedited Processing

We register corporations with expedited handling fees prepaid to the State. This shortens the Corporation Commission's processing time for new Corporation's to under 1 week.

The Commission charges $35 for expedited handling and $60 to register the Corporation.

Arizona Compliant Bylaws

With all incorporations we include custom prepared bylaws to comply with the Arizona Corporate Code.

When you incorporate, Arizona requires you to do more than merely register formation papers to be compliant - a fact omitted by 80% of online incorporator services.

Arizona law clearly says "After incorporation the board of directors shall hold an organizational meeting at the call of a majority of the directors to complete the organization of the corporation by appointing officers, adopting bylaws and carrying on any other business brought before the meeting" (see ARS 10-205).

If you don't do this, then you do not have a valid corpororation, and it is the first line of attack a creditor will take if they attempt to pierce the corporate veil!

Memorandum & Notice of Incorporating for Publication

The Notice of Incorporating and accompanying Memorandum Regarding Publication are sent to you with the state-approved Articles of Incorporation. The Memorandum explains when, where and how to publish the notice.

Take advantage of our publication service, and we'll publish the Notice and file the Affidavit of Publication for you.

Articles Approved by Corporation Commission

We'll send you the ACC approved Articles of Incorporation bearing the State's UPC code which indicates the registration has been reviewed and approved by the Commission and is now "of legal record".

This approved copy is to be kept at the corporation's known place of business in Arizona, together with the Bylaws, Organizational Action and Statutory Agent's Acceptance, all of which you will have previously received from this office.

1 Day Arizona Incorporation

Same day orders are filed within 1 business day, (usually on the same day you order). A conformed copy of the Articles, the corporation's registration number, bylaws and organizational action are sent to you within 2 to 4 days.

Arizona says a corporation is in legal existence when its Articles of Incorporation are filed (not when the ACC reviews and places the UPC approval code on it). This is so you can incorporate within a day.

Publish Notice of Incorporating & File Affidavit

We will publish Notice of your company's incorporation in the County of its place of business and file the Affidavit of Publication.

If you don't use this option, we'll draft the Notice and a Memorandum instructing you where, when and how to publish.

If you do it yourself, you're going to pay more than $85 to the newspaper you choose. Still, sometimes incorporators want to publish Notice themselves, since the task is easy to do.

Expedite Good Standing Certificate

The Corporation Commission charges $45 to issue an expedited Certificate of Good Standing.

Expedited certificates are returned by the Commission with the approved Articles of Incorporation.

Name Reservation and Guarantee

Reserving the name for a corporation is usually not necessary, but may be desireable, if you plan a delayed filing.

Arizona Corporation names can be reserved for 120 days.
