INCORPORATION OF A CONNECTICUT STOCK CORPORATION
We are pleased to enclose the form to incorporate a stock corporation in the State of Connecticut. Note that an
Organization & First Report form must also be filed to record the officers and directors of the corporation. The fees for filing
the Organization & First Report can be found on the fee schedule. Before filing the forms described above, you may reserve
the name you wish for your corporation. **If a name reservation is submitted for filing it would be prudent to wait until after a
confirmation of filing has been issued to file incorporation documents.
The filing of the above referenced documents represent the bare essentials of incorporation in Connecticut. There
are many other considerations to take into account when forming a corporation. For this reason, we recommend
that an attorney and/or other competent advisor be consulted. Please contact the Department of Revenue Services
or your tax advisor as to any potential tax liability relating to your business.
* The minimum franchise tax must be paid by corporations, which authorize 20,000 shares or less upon incorporation.
Corporations which authorize more than 20,000 shares must pay a franchise tax calculated on a sliding scale which can
be found on the Fee Schedule.
**The fee to reserve a corporate name for 120 days can be found on the Fee Schedule. See enclosed form instructions
for more specifics filing details.
