1. First research to see if the
AZ corporate name you would like to use is available for
registration. There are a number ways to do this including
visiting the
Arizona Corporation Commission web site and
following the simple name search instructions they have set up.
Or you could also use one of the many online or offline
incorporation services available and they will conduct a
limited name search as part of their services.
2. Choose the type of Arizona Corporate entity you want to
form whether it be an LLC, a C or S Corp, or some type
of Partnership. I would advise that you may want to consult
with your accountant or CPA before deciding on how you want
incorporate your business in Arizona.
3. Obtain and fill out the required
incorporation forms. You can do this by visiting the
corp filing forms page on the Arizona
Corporation Commission web site and purchase the forms
online there for a fee. Or if you are using an online
incorporation service in most cases they will have a form
online for you to simply fill out and submit as part of
their incorporation service packages. 4.
Obtain your completed Certificate of Incorporation from
either the Arizona Corporation Commission or the service you
used to complete the incorporation process.
5. File your incorporation documents with the Arizona
Corporation Commission. Or if you choose to use an
incorporation service (online or other) they will in most
cases file the documents for you as part of their services.
6. With in 60 days after your articles of incorporation with
were filed with the Arizona Corporation Commission, you are
required to publish your articles of incorporations for 3
consecutive publications in a general circulation newspaper
in the county of the Corporations address. In Maricopa
county a popular newspaper to use is the Phoenix Business
Journal
