Incorporating Alabama Corporations

What is an Alabama corporation?

Alabama corporations are separate legal entities established by the shareholders. The shareholders elect to have an incorporator make the action to incorporate an Alabama corporation to create a separate entity from them personally.

How much do Alabama corporations cost?

An Alabama corporation will cost $100 to file the articles of incorporation and at least $50 for the Alabama county probate judge.

How to form Alabama corporations:

It will take the state of Alabama 6 months to process your AL corporation articles of incorporation if you mail the form. This is because you sent your corporate forms to the county where your Alabama registered office is located. Most counties take 7-10 days to process the incorporation. Our county only takes one day. Then the county forwards your incorporation to the Alabama Secretary of State who takes several weeks to process the incorporation.
We really suggest that you pay the $100 expedite fee to get your incorporation processed by the Secretary of State in 10-14 days.
If you need a federal tax ID number, that can be obtained online immediately with the IRS.
