Inc. after a company name means that the business in question has incorporated within its home state. Status as a C-corporation or an S-Corporation depends on tax filings with the Internal Revenue Service. Incorporation produces a separate entity -- in essence a fictional person created by law.
Preparing the Articles of Incorporation. 1  Give the corporation a name that another entity is not using. 2  Describe in the Articles of Incorporation the purposes and powers of the corporation and limit them to charitable or other Section 501(c)(3) purposes; specifically cite Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
