Preparation is not formation. We do not file, sign or approve articles, accept payments, or provide legal advice.

Name & purpose

Check the state’s name records ↗. A search is preliminary, not name approval.

Describe what the cooperative will do and for whom. No purpose clause is chosen for you.

Name, purpose and duration rules

The name must be distinguishable on state records. A 308B cooperative may have any lawful purpose. Duration is perpetual unless limited in the articles. The state PDF includes a preprinted purpose clause: compare it with your purpose before signing.
