Forming a domestic for profit Iowa business corporation involves three main steps:
Step 1 Name Search
All business entities require a name search and reservation of proposed name prior to company registration in Iowa. Iowa Secretary Of State, Business Services Division is responsible for the approval of company names.
We will do this step as a part of our Iowa company incorporation service.
The general rules for choosing an Iowa company name are:
* must not be identical or too similar to another business' name
* must not infringe registered trademarks or patents
* must not be offensive or vulgar in any way
Company names that contain words like Bank, Finance Company, Insurance, School, University, Travel Agent, Media, etc. must first be approved by the Iowa Company Registration regulatory authority before they can be used.
Step 2 Filing Articles of Incorporation
Once you've reserved a company name, you can proceed to register your company and file articles of incorporation. Articles of incorporation are legal documents that establish your business, and must be approved by the Iowa business services division before you do business under that business name.
If your articles of incorporation meets the current legislated requirements established by the Iowa Secretary of State, the Iowa Business Services Division office, will process the request and issue you an Iowa certificate of incorporation.
