STATE OFFICES FOR INCORPORATION INFORMATION
Excerpted from"The Small Business Start-Up Guide"
by Robert Sullivan
This is a listing of the office in each
State that you may contact for details on registering your corporation.
The literature you receive will most likely contain other information about
doing business in your state such as Federal Employer Identification Numbers
(EIN), various tax liabilities, and other licenses and permits that may
be required.
Some states provide information you might
find useful even if only contemplating the formation of a corporation.
