To All Corporations Customers:

Please be advised that on 12/18/2009, we will be undergoing an upgrade to our system.  As a result, certain parts of our website will be unavailable to you. 

You will be not be able to place any orders or search for information on any entities at that time.  

General information about filing procedures  and forms used to file a corporation will still be available.  We expect to have full functionality of our system by 12/20/2009.  This upgrade will provide better security for on-line transactions and enhanced services for our customers.

Thank you very for your patience and understanding in this matter.

Georgia corporations, limited liability companies and limited partnerships are formed by filing with the Corporations Division. Some foreign (out of state) entities that do business in the state of Georgia are required to file with the Corporations Division. The Division serves as custodian of the filings and provides copies and/or certifications of the documents. As an administrative filing agency, the Division does not have authority to intervene in disputes between consumers and businesses, disputes between businesses, or disputes between shareholders, members, officers or other persons involved in an enterprise.

Information provided on this site should aid in the process of forming a business entity. While simple to form, the question of whether or not a particular entity should be formed is complex. The Corporations Division recommends that the decision to establish a legal entity be made in consultation with an attorney and an accountant.
