Georgia corporations,
limited liability companies and limited partnerships are
formed by filing with the
Corporations Division. Some foreign (out of
state) entities that do business in the state of Georgia
are required to file with the Corporations Division. The
Division serves as custodian of the filings and provides
copies and/or certifications of the documents. As an
administrative filing agency, the Division does not have
authority to intervene in disputes between consumers and
businesses, disputes between businesses, or disputes
between shareholders, members, officers or other persons
involved in an enterprise.
Information provided on this site should aid in
the process of forming a business entity. While simple to form,
the question of whether or not a particular entity should be
formed is complex. The Corporations Division recommends that the
decision to establish a legal entity be made in consultation
with an attorney and an accountant.
