We prepare the required Statement of Information, ensuring your business stays fully compliant with California’s ongoing annual reporting requirements and avoids costly late fees.

What Happens After You Incorporate

Once your Articles of Incorporation are filed, a few things typically follow: adopting your bylaws, holding an initial board meeting to appoint officers, issuing stock to your founders, and obtaining an EIN from the IRS. California also requires newly formed corporations to file an initial Statement of Information within 90 days of incorporating, then annually after that. We can prepare the documents for each of these steps as part of your incorporation.

Registering Your Business in the City of Glendale

Incorporating with the state is only part of getting your business legally set up. Every business located in Glendale, including subleases, must apply for and maintain a valid Business Registration Certificate, regardless of any other licenses the business holds, and this registration must be obtained before the business opens. We can help you understand how this local requirement fits alongside your state incorporation paperwork.

Frequently Asked Questions

Incorporation creates a separate legal entity, protecting owners and establishing a clear structure for management, operations, and long term growth.

Yes. Bylaws outline how your corporation functions, including leadership responsibilities, meeting rules, and decision making procedures.

How Many Directors Must a Corporation Have?

California corporations generally need at least three directors. The main exception is a company with only one or two shareholders, which can have as few as one or two directors to match. We help you determine the right number for your specific structure when we prepare your documents.

Yes. Many businesses incorporate as they expand, seeking liability protection, a formal structure, and long term operational stability.

No, California law doesn’t require an attorney to file incorporation documents. We The People Glendale is a registered Legal Document Assistant (LDA #327, Los Angeles County); we prepare your documents based on your instructions and don’t provide legal advice. If your situation involves multiple founders, outside investors, or complex ownership terms, we recommend involving an independent, licensed attorney, and we’re glad to prepare filings based on that attorney’s guidance.
