Articles of Incorporation (AOI) are what some states, including California, call the primary organization document for a corporation. In Texas, it's called a ?Certificate of Formation? and in Delaware it's called a ?Certificate of Incorporation.? Many people just refer to these docs as a corporation's charter.

Requirements for the Certificate of Formation The document required to form an LLC in Texas is called the Articles of Organization. The information required in the formation document varies by state.

Articles of incorporation are also referred to as the "corporate charter," "articles of association," or "certificate of incorporation."

Differences between LLC and sole proprietorship The most significant difference is whether you have limited liability for the business' debts and obligations, as with an LLC, or whether the business' liabilities and obligations fall to you personally in the event of a lawsuit or debt collection.
