Capital Legal Services, Inc. (CLS) always values the opportunity to meet with our clients, but understands that time and distance may be a factor. Therefore, the initial process (providing the information to CLS to prepare your documents) may be done by giving a CLS Representative the information over the phone, via our online form or by coming into our office for a personal appointment.

Once CLS has all of the necessary information to create your corporate documents, we will do the preliminary name search for your company and when requested, review the information with your CPA/EA. At this point, your corporate documents will be prepared.

Typically, CLS Representatives meets with clients to review their corporate documents and obtain the necessary signatures to complete this part of the process; however, at a client’s request, the documents may also be mailed to him or her for review and signature.*

Once signatures and the required checks associated with filing and publicizing a corporation have been obtained, CLS will hand deliver the company’s Articles of Incorporation to the Arizona Corporation Commission. We also arrange for the publication of the Articles.

Our service will return your approved Articles to CLS, at which time we will get your Employer Identification Number (if requested, this may be obtained earlier) and apply for other applicable federal and state filings and tax forms.

If CLS will be preparing your annual minutes, we will keep your embossed, corporate minute book in-house and send you a full copy of your formation documents or we will forward your book with the original documents enclosed to the mailing address provided. Either way, with your consent, a copy of your corporate documents will also be sent to your CPA/EA.

Timeline: CLS will prepare your paperwork for your signature within five (5) business days; however, for an additional fee, it can be turned around within one (1) business day.
