Articles Of Incorporation
A set of documents filed with a government body for the purpose of legally documenting the creation of a corporation.
Also referred to as the "corporate charter." Investopedia Says:
Articles of incorporation typically contain pertinent information such as the firm's address, profile, distribution of corporate powers and the amount/type of stock to be issued. Some states will offer more favorable environments and, as a result, attract a greater proportion of firms seeking incorporation. Related Terms:
