How do you Incorporate in Alabama?

Answer:
The first step required to incorporate in Alabama

is to create the entity's Articles of Incorporation document and file it with the probate court in the county in which it's registered offices are located as well as with the Secretary of State's office. This document must include the corporation's name, it's business purpose, the street address of the registered location, and the names and addresses of the incorporators and directors.

Once the Articles of Incorporation have been filed, it is also necessary to request a Certificate of Existence from the office of the Secretary of State. The form must include the name of the business entity, the date of incorporation or registration, and the county in which it's primary offices will be located.
