Missouri Corporation Formation

A corporation is a business entity created under Chapter 351 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri. It is the oldest and one of the most common forms of business entities. A corporation can be a standard corporation – commonly referred to as a C Corporation – or it can be a corporation taxed as a partnership under subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code – commonly referred to as an S Corporation. Corporations are popular with companies having a number of employees and companies with more complex ownership and financing needs.
