My experience with LegalShield has been awesome and I could not be happier about my decision years ago to become a member. The process to get my LLC launched was seamless and extremely easy. They treated me with utmost respect and dignity throughout the process as well as keeping me informed of the status of my launch process. A heartfelt thank you for helping me make a lifelong dream of becoming a business owner come true.

I am a new member to LegalShield and I am in the process of starting to sell and create my own LLC. I called my Provider Law Firm in Atlanta and the have been fantastic! So far, I have wills for my wife and self in process and signed up for Launch LegalShield Small Business to get my LLC filed. Attorney gave me options and I chose to utilize them… they had my business filed within 4 hours same day!!! They have been fantastic…

Best experience I have ever had with any of the law firms in 15 yrs of being a member and associate. They went above and beyond the norm to give me the details necessary to setup my LLC. Keep up the great work and we will hit 10% market penetration.

Articles of Organization FAQs
Why do I need Articles of Organization and Bylaws?
Your corporation’s Articles of Organization, along with corporate Bylaws, serve to define its structure and function in a way that allows you to account for possibilities or eventualities.
When it comes to running a corporation, it’s of vital importance to have all rules and agreements on paper.
Written Bylaws reduce the likelihood of future disagreement (legal and otherwise) about how the business is set up and managed.
What’s the difference between C corporations and S corporations?
While C corporations and S corporations are similar in how they operate, they differ in their taxation. In forming your corporation, these tax considerations are often a big factor when choosing a structure.
C corporations pay tax on corporate profits, and its shareholders are taxed on the dividends paid out.
With an S corporation, profits and losses are passed through to the shareholders to be reported, and if applicable paid, on their personal tax returns, similar in some respects to default LLC taxation.
C corporation is the default; a corporation may elect S corporation status through a filing with the IRS.
Where do I find the Articles of Organization?
Each state’s website should have a standard form for Articles of Organization to be filed, along with a fee for filing. It’s a somewhat similar process if you are launching an LLC as there is a standard form to register. However, the Articles of Organization do not include the ‘how to’ of running the company, like you would find in an LLC’s operating agreement. For corporations, those details are within company bylaws, which, like an LLC operating agreement, is not a public document.
Your corporation’s Articles of Organization, along with corporate Bylaws, serve to define its structure and function in a way that allows you to account for possibilities or eventualities.
For example, you may wish to seek outside funding to help grow your business; your Bylaws should provide for how shares in the corporation can be issued or sold to investors. Similarly, one of the members of the corporation may wish to leave or get divorced, or even die, or you may simply want them to leave; shareholder agreements outline how that person’s shares may be bought back and may limit the option to sell to an outside third party.
A lawyer will be familiar with these situations and the many challenges that can arise and can advise you on the proper steps.
