Mr. John Smith
123 Any Street, Apt. 100
Big City, CA 90001

Note: Please note that a post office box (like PO Box 123) is NOT acceptable for an agent for service of process. The address must be a street address in California.

HELPFUL NOTES AND TIPS

bulletNOTE -- ONE PERSON CORPORATIONS:
Many, if not most, corporations are one-person corporations. Even one-person corporation's must have a President, a Treasurer, a Secretary, at least one Board Member, and at least one Shareholder. If there is going to be only one shareholder (husband and wife are counted as one shareholder) then the same person can fill all the positions. For example, John Q. Smith can be the President, Treasurer, Secretary, sole Board Member and sole Shareholder.
bulletNOTE -- SPOUSES:
There is no legal requirement to list your spouse. However, as a legal matter, your spouse may have an ownership interest in the corporation by virtue of the marital property laws.
bulletTIP: Keep it simple. Keep control. Don't have more than one shareholder unless you must.

First Person:

Second Person - Optional

Third Person - Optional

Fourth Person - Optional

Fifth Person - Optional

Federal / IRS Subchapter S Election (Optional)

Note 1: The Subchapter S election is also commonly known as an "S" corporation election. The default status is C status. S status requires the filing of an election form.

Note 2: There is NO EXTRA CHARGE for this service. It's included.

Do you want us to prepare an S corporation election for your shelf corporation?

No

Yes -- Please prepare the IRS election form to signature ready condition. I understand it is my responsibility to timely file the election form.

Maybe -- I'm not sure at this time but please go ahead and prepare the election form anyway to signature ready condition.

HELPFUL NOTES AND TIPS:

bulletThere is no extra charge for preparation of the election forms.
bulletMany corporations do NOT ever elect S corporation status. We do NOT recommend S status unless you have a very strong reason. Fringe benefits for owners are more restricted in S corporations. If you're not sure -- don't panic -- you don't need to decide now. Basically, qualified corporations have the right to elect S status for future years. In other words, qualified corporations can change or switch from C status to S status.

Share Transfer Restriction
(Optional)

Note 1:
A share transfer restriction sets forth a mandatory procedure or mechanism by which the corporation and the non-transferring shareholders have the right to purchase the shares of the transferring shareholder before he or she can transfer the shares to someone else.

Note 2:
If you select "yes" below, the share transfer restriction will be stated in the corporation bylaws with notice thereof placed in a legend on each share certificate. The notice / share legend gives notice to all shareholder that his or her stock is subject to a transfer restriction and is not freely transferable.

Do you want the shares (stock) of the corporation to be subject to a restriction on transfer?

No -- I am comfortable with having NO such restriction.

Yes -- Please put a share transfer restriction in the bylaws and place an appropriate legend on all the share certificates.

HELPFUL NOTES AND TIPS:

bulletThere is no extra charge for a share transfer restriction.
bulletIf you will be the only shareholder, there is little or no need for such a restriction on share transfer. If, on the other hand, the shares will be owned by unrelated business partners, then you may want to consider a share transfer restriction.
