A Letter of Incorporation is the foundational document required to legally form a corporation in the United States. This document must be filed with the appropriate state authority to create a separate legal entity distinct from its owners. The Letter of Incorporation includes essential information such as the corporation's name, purpose, stock structure, registered agent, and incorporator details. It establishes the corporation's existence under state law and serves as evidence of the company's legal status. This document is crucial for businesses seeking liability protection, formal structure, and the ability to issue stock.
