Download only. Notes for an ordinary new Delaware stock corporation using a single-class structure, not a certificate for submission. Delaware calls its filing a Certificate of Incorporation. No filing or tax election is made here; completion or signing does not create a corporation.

PROPOSED FILING INFORMATION

Prepared [Preparation date]. Proposed corporation: [Proposed exact entity name]. Registered agent: [Registered agent legal name]. Registered office: [Delaware registered office street address], [Delaware registered office city], [Delaware registered office county] County, Delaware [Delaware registered office ZIP]. Proposed authorized shares: [Proposed authorized share count]. Proposed par value per share (USD): [Proposed par value per share as exact USD decimal]. Incorporator: [Incorporator name], mailing address [Incorporator mailing address]. Return contact: [Filing contact name and return contact details].

STRUCTURE REVIEW

Authorized shares are not issued shares, an ownership allocation or a tax election. Have the share count, par value and purpose reviewed before preparing the certificate. Multiple classes, investor rights or special provisions need a tailored certificate rather than this worksheet. No director-liability waiver is proposed here.

OFFICIAL DOCUMENT AND EXECUTION

Use the official stock-corporation form and its instructions: https://corpfiles.delaware.gov/Corp_Forms/Incorporation%20-%20Stock.pdf. Transfer reviewed information into the official document; confirm its purpose clause fits the business. The named incorporator executes the certificate as instructed. Do not send this worksheet as the filing document.

FILING AND ORGANIZATION

Check the official forms directory https://corp.delaware.gov/newentit09/ and submission service https://corp.delaware.gov/document-upload-service-information/. Confirm current fees based on the actual proposed document. Submit the completed certificate using the state's accepted process, and retain its filed copy and effective date. Demand Signatures does not file or certify acceptance.

After formation, arrange valid organizational action, initial directors/officers, adopted bylaws, banking authority and any lawful stock issuance. Those actions are separate from filing the certificate. Review tax, licensing and ongoing reporting duties with advisers. Do not enter tax IDs or payment credentials here.
