• Incorporators must file the Articles of Incorporation, along with the required processing fees, with the Nebraska Secretary of State. Once the filing is officially approved, the business begins its existence, as a separate legal entity.
• First, choose the name of your corporation. The name must be clearly different from the name of another business. So, at no extra charge, Proactive Management will perform three name searches to determine if your desired name(s) are available.
• This name must also include one of the following phrases "corporation," "company," "incorporated," or "limited" or  abbreviation corp., inc., co., or ltd. or like language except that a corporation organized under the Nebraska Banking Act may use a name which includes the word bank without using any such words or abbreviations
• The Articles of Incorporation will address:
  • Name and place of residence for each incorporator and the signature of at least one incorporator

  • A statement of the preferences, qualifications, limitations, restrictions, and the special or relative rights including convertible rights, if any, in respect of the shares of each class
