CORPORATIONS (573) 751-4153

General Business Corporation Instruction Sheet Here is information we hope you will find useful in considering the formation of a Missouri Corporation. 1. The name of the Corporation: A. The name must be distinguishable upon the records from the name of any domestic corporation currently in existence, any foreign corporation which is qualified and in good standing, limited partnership, limited liability company, limited liability partnership, limited liability limited partnership or a name which is currently reserved. B. The corporation name may not be one that might falsely imply governmental affiliation. C. The words Cooperative, Bank, Insurance Company and Redevelopment may not be used in a corporate title for a Chapter 351 or 355 corporation. D. Name Check. Before drafting articles of incorporation it is imperative that you check with this office concerning the availability of the desired name. This may be done by mail or telephone by calling either (573) 751-4153 or (866) 223-6535 (toll-free). You may also select the Online Business Services business entity search at www.sos.mo.gov. Even though a name may have been checked with us for availability, checks, letterheads, seals or share certificates ordered prior to incorporation are purchased at your own risk. We recommend that nothing be printed until a name is incorporated by this office and you have received your certificate of incorporation. E. Reservation of corporate name. If you wish, you may reserve a corporate name in advance. You may request a reservation with either a letter or forms from this office. A name may be reserved for 60 days, and a fee of $25.00 must accompany a reservation of a corporate name. The name may not be reserved for more than 180 days. 2. The corporation must have a registered agent and office in Missouri, which may be an individual or registered corporation in Missouri. 3. The incorporation fee is $58.00 if no more than 30,000 shares are issued and the par value does not exceed $30,000. If either amount is exceeded the fee is based on "authorized capital." The fee is $55.00 for any amount up to $30,000 and $5.00 more for each additional $10,000 of authorized capital. To this total, add $3.00 for the filing fee.

4. While a corporation may have only one director and one incorporator, it must fill the position of both president and secretary. These officers may be the same person. See Sections 351.315 and 351.360.360, RSMo. 5. The articles listing the purposes should include at least one sentence which defines the specific purpose for which the corporation is organized (e.g. what it will do to make a profit). You may also include, if desired, a statement "and all other legal acts permitted general and business corporations." Feel free to call our office toll-free at (866) 223-6535 with any questions you may have concerning these instructions.

Sincerely, Robin Carnahan Secretary of State
