INCORPORATION PACKAGE – BUSINESS CORPORATION

STATE OF NEW MEXICO

Electronic Version

Statutory Reference

New Mexico Statutes – Chapter 53: Corporations – Articles 11-18

Introduction

There are two basic types of corporation. Most small businesses that form a corporation form an “S” corporation where profits pass through to the owners, and are not doubly taxed as with a “C” corporation. Most of the information below applies to both types of corporations, except where specifically mentioning double taxation. A special section on “S” corporations follows the general information.

A corporation is considered by law to be a unique business entity, separate and apart from those who own it. The owners of a corporation are its shareholders. The shareholders elect a board of directors to oversee the major policies and decisions.

The dealings of the corporation are carried out by the officers and employees of the corporation under the authority delegated by the directors of the corporation.
