Incorporation Bureau, at incorporationbureau.com, is an independent publisher of U.S. company-formation guides and service comparisons for founders, including people who live outside the United States.
We publish information; we do not operate a state business registry or issue formation certificates. State filing agencies maintain their own registries and decide whether to accept a filing. A commercial provider linked here is a separate business with its own services and terms.
What you can find here
We explain formation choices, state filing requirements, registered-agent roles and related compliance topics. State pages link to the relevant official registry. Articles identify the sources used for the facts they discuss.
Our guides explain common decisions, our state directory helps you find the appropriate office, and the blog covers practical questions and updates.
How this site is funded
Some commercial links are affiliate links. We may earn a commission when a purchase is attributed to one of those links. Official government links do not earn us a commission. A paid service is optional when you can complete a filing yourself and meet the applicable requirements.
How to evaluate our information
Check the source and date next to a fact, especially for a price, deadline or eligibility rule. A guide cannot determine every requirement for an individual business. Government agencies and providers control their own rules and services.
See our editorial policy for research and comparison criteria, and our privacy policy for information about external services and affiliate measurement.
