The Missouri Original Filing Form is a document used to register a business entity with the Missouri Secretary of State. This form is required for any business entity that is organized or incorporated in the state of Missouri. There are two types of Missouri Original Filing Forms: the Articles of Organization and the Articles of Incorporation. The Articles of Organization are used for Limited Liability Companies (LLC's) and Nonprofit Corporations, while the Articles of Incorporation are used for For-Profit Corporations. Both forms must be completed and filed with the Missouri Secretary of State in order to be officially recognized as a business entity. The forms require information such as the name and address of the business, the purpose of the business, the name and address of the registered agent, and the names and addresses of the incorporates. Once the form is filed, the business entity will be officially recognized and can begin operations.
