Missouri Articles of Association are the official documents used to establish a corporation in the state of Missouri. They are filed with the Missouri Secretary of State's office and provide the necessary information to form a corporation in the state. The Missouri Articles of Association serve as the company's constitution, setting forth the purpose of the corporation, the names and addresses of its directors, the type of business it will engage in, the names of its officers, the amount of its authorized share capital, and other corporate governance details. There are two types of Missouri Articles of Association: the Articles of Incorporation and the Articles of Organization. The Articles of Incorporation are used to form a for-profit business, while the Articles of Organization are used to form a non-profit organization.
