What is a Utah Corporation?

A Utah Corporation is (historically) the most popular form of a legal entity in the United States. Recently however, limited liability companies (LLCs) have become the prevailing choice of entity formation. Corporations provide a ‘corporate veil’ to their owners, known as stockholders (or shareholders), which shields them from the liabilities and obligations of the corporation.

Incorporation Guidelines:

In the State of Utah (UT) a corporation is formed when the Articles of Incorporation have been properly completed, filed and accepted by the Secretary of State of Utah (UT), along with the required registration fee.

The Utah (UT) Articles of Incorporation must contain:

-The name of the corporation
-The principle Utah (UT) address of the corporation
-The name and address of the Registered Agent
-The number, class and value of shares of stock the corporation is authorized to issue
-A specific date if the corporation is to be effective at a time other than when the Secretary of States office approves the Articles of Incorporation.
-The name(s) and address(es) of the incorporator(s)
-The name(s) of the officer(s) and director(s), minimum one of each

S Corporation:

An S Corporation pertains solely to tax matters. It is a corporation that elects to be taxed under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. The owners of the corporation report the profits and losses of S-corps on their personal tax returns. S corporations may only have one class of stock, they must be comprised only of shareholders who are United States citizens or residents, and there is a limit to 100 shareholders. The State of Utah (UT) recognizes S-Corporations but does not require an additional filing.

Nonprofit Corporations:

Nonprofit corporations are created for the publics benefit or for the mutual benefit of the founders. Nonprofit corporations may not have shareholders or pay dividends, they also may not compensate members, officers or trustees.

Utah Corporation Name:

In Utah (UT) the name of your corporation must be distinguishable from any other corporations name within the State. Corporate Filing Solutions will conduct a preliminary name search to determine the availability of your corporation’s desired name.

Your corporation’s name must end in one of the following (or an abbreviation): Incorporated, Corporation, Company, Limited.

If you fail to include an ending in your application Corporate Filing Solutions will add “Inc.” when preparing and filing your incorporation documents.

Articles of Incorporation Fee:

The filing fee for submitting Articles of Incorporation is $70. Expediting is an additional $75. If needed, there’s a return fax fee of $5.

Annual Report:

Corporations operating in Utah (UT) are required to file an annual report on the exact anniversary date of incorporation. The cost to file an annual report is $20.00.

Federal Beneficial Ownership Information Report Filing:

Starting January 1, 2024, most newly-formed corporations are required to file a Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) report with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) following company formation.

On your report, you’ll need to disclose some basic details about your company and those with the most control over your corporation’s profits and operations. There’s no fee to file, and your information does not go on the public record. Save yourself from the additional paperwork with our $9 BOI report filing service.
