FAQ

Form an Illinois Corporation: Name Your Corporation. Designate a Registered Agent. Submit Articles of Incorporation. Get an EIN. File the BOI Report. Write Corporate Bylaws. Hold an Organizational Meeting. Open a Corporate Bank Account.

Corporate bylaws are legally required in Illinois. Illinois statute §805 ILCS 5/2.20 requires that bylaws be adopted either by shareholders at the first shareholder meeting or by directors at the initial director meeting.

That is just fine; one person or multiple people can own a corporation. In most cases, if you are considering incorporating your small business, you will want to investigate S corporations. These are corporations especially designed for small businesses.

Incorporating with one person is called a single-member or one-person corporation. You will be the sole shareholder, the director, and the officer.

One monumental change brought about by the RCC is the creation of a one-person corporation (OPC). Through this new type of legal structure, an entrepreneur can act as the single stockholder and utilize the full benefits of a sole proprietorship and the limited liability of a corporation.

If your LLC has one owner, you're a single member limited liability company (SMLLC). If you are married, you and your spouse are considered one owner and can elect to be treated as an SMLLC. We require an SMLLC to file Form 568 (coming soon), even though they are considered a disregarded entity for tax purposes.

A corporation is owned by shareholders. If you are the sole owner of the company, then you own 100 percent of the shares. If there are other owners besides yourself, the ownership position of each is based on the percentage of the total shares owned.

Essentially, these are the default bylaws that apply to a California corporation unless it adopts its own bylaws superseding those defaults. In some cases, the Articles of Incorporation may also set some basic rules–such as the number of directors–that govern the management of the corporation as well.
