How do you incorporate in Ohio?

Answer:
To incorporate in Ohio, it is necessary to file

an Articles of Incorporation with the office of the Secretary of State. To complete this required document, the following information is needed: the name of the corporation, the name of the city or town in which the business is located, its home county, the purpose for which the entity is being formed, and the number of shares authorized for issue.

Additionally, the Articles of Incorporation must include the name of the registered agent and documentation verifying that he or she has agreed to serve in such capacity. The names and addresses of all incorporators must also be included, and they must each sign the document.

The Articles of Incorporation form may be downloaded from http://www.sos.state.oh.us/SOSApps/Forms/Form.aspx?return=%2fSOSApps%2fSOS%2fFormRefBS.aspx&type=BusinessServices&code=532 . It must be submitted, along with the filing fee, to the office of the Secretary of State in Columbus.
