Incorporating Massachusetts Corporations

What is a Massachusetts corporation?

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

How much do Massachusetts corporations cost?

A Massachusetts corporation will cost at $275 to file the articles of organization.
There is an additional $100 fee for each 100,000 shares over 275,000.

How to form Massachusetts corporations:

It will take the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth about 2-3 business days to process your Massachusetts incorporation plus mail time. When you mail corporation or LLC forms, they need to have original signatures.

If you fax your documents, they are processed in 1-3 days. You have to go to the Secretary of the Commonwealth’s website first to pay and create a coversheet first. Faxing costs an additional $25 but we recommend it because it is faster.

If you need a federal tax ID number, that can be obtained online immediately with the IRS.
