The corporations division records original and amended documents for various types of entities - such as:

While we will gladly help you select and complete the proper form and answer questions within our expertise, we cannot provide you with any legal advice. We strongly recommend that you contact an attorney, accountant or other appropriate professionals to make sure you are taking the proper steps. We will make every attempt to review your completed application (filing or rejecting as needed) in a timely fashion, however it is your responsibility to accurately answer all questions as required by law.

In addition, we have provided some business related links that may be helpful to you in your venture. Please remember that once you make the decision to register a business with our office it is public information under the Vermont Public Records law (T1,VSA).

Participants are free to agree upon the terms of their relationship, and how the company is to be governed, the economic relationships between them, how meetings are to be conducted, and other internal matters.
