Share Authorization in Nevada
In order to “maximize” the capitalization of your Corporation for the payment of “minimum” required State fees, your Corporation will be formed with 75,000 shares of COMMON stock at NO par value. If you have different needs, please review the fees below and give us "Special Instructions" when ordering.
State Fees for increased authorized capital:
| $75,000 or less |
None |
| $75,001 and not over $200,000 |
$100.00 |
| $200,001 and not over $500,000 |
$200.00 |
| $500,001 and not over $1,000,000 |
$300.00 |
| For the first $1,000,000 |
$300.00 |
| For each additional $500,000 - or fraction thereof |
$275.00 |
| Maximum fee |
$35,000.00 |
For the purpose of computing the filing fee, the value (capital) represented by the total number of shares authorized in the Articles of Incorporation is determined by computing:
- The total authorized shares multiplied by their par value or;
- The total authorized shares without par value multiplied by $1.00 or;
- The sum of (a) and (b) above if both par and no par shares.
- Filing fees are calculated on a minimum par value of one-tenth of a cent (0.001), regardless if the stated par value is less.
**PLEASE NOTE: Increased Capitalization will also result in similar increased annual filing fees.
As a result of the method the State uses to calculate fees, clients wishing to authorize the MAXIMUM amount of shares for the MINIMUM filing fees would choose to file the Articles of Incorporation with 75,000,000 common shares at a par value of $0.001 (of one-tenth of a cent).
If you have different needs for your corporation (other than our standard filing), please give us "Special Instructions" when ordering. Once the articles of incorporation are filed, in order to make any changes, we must amend the articles with an additional secretary of state filing (at additional cost).
Share Authorization in Wyoming
In Wyoming there is technically no limit to the amount of shares that can be authorized for issuance (without any additional costs or fees), so the limitations are set by making the proper entries in your Articles of Incorporation. As a matter of policy we set the share authorization at 1,000,000 (one million) shares of $0.10 (ten cents) par value because we have found that this meets the needs of the vast majority of our clients.
Please note that shares may NOT be issued for LESS than the $ par value set in the articles of incorporation, so for example (in this share structure) when the directors resolve to issue 10,000 shares, a minimum capitalization of $1000.00 MUST be paid to the corporation.
