If you really need your original approved Articles of Incorporation in your hands quickly, the Express Mail option can cut the delivery time in half. The Express Mail option has no effect on the Colorado Secretary of State's processing time. 

Every Colorado Nonprofit is required to have an address within the state of Colorado where official and legal correspondence can be delivered.  The individual or company that is registered with the state of Colorado to receive all correspondence on behalf of the Nonprofit is called a Registered Agent.

You may act as your own Registered Agent, however, many Nonprofits hire a Registered Agent because they don't have a physical address within Colorado or to provide a distinct level of privacy. 

We can act as your Colorado Nonprofit Registered Agent.  This is an annual service.  We will forward all correspondence to you and will remind you when it is time to renew your CO Registered Agent services.

Bylaws are the rules by which your Colorado Nonprofit must operate.  Every new Colorado Nonprofit requires bylaws.  Almost anything may be written into the bylaws, however, the bylaws must not be in violation of any law or your Colorado Nonprofit's Articles of Incorporation.

We can create customized initial bylaws for your Colorado Nonprofit that are based on your specific business requirements. As your company grows over time, you may amend your bylaws as necessary.

A Colorado Good Standing Certficate is proof of the existence of your new Colorado Nonprofit. The Certificate is issued by the Colorado Secretary of State and is proof that your CO Nonprofit is not behind on any of its Colorado Secretary of State Corporate obligations.

A Colorado Good Standing Certificate is often required for loans, to apply for business licenses, or for tax or other business purposes in the state of Colorado or in any other state.

We can get your Colorado Good Standing Certificate immediately after the Colorado Secretary of State has approved your Nonprofit filing.

An FEIN is like a Social Security Number for your Colorado Nonprofit.  We can get your FEIN on the same day that your Articles of Incorporation are approved by the Colorado Secretary of State.

You can get your FEIN before your articles are approved by the Colorado Secretary of State but it's a good idea to wait until after approval.  Your filing may be rejected or the Nonprofit name that you want may not be approved.  Changing information on an FEIN filing is not a trivial exercise with the IRS.

While you're not required to have a Nonprofit Kit and Seal for your new Colorado Nonprofit they do come in handy.  The CO Nonprofit Kit consists of a beautiful customized binder, stock certificates, a stock ledger and your custom Nonprofit Seal.

The Nonprofit Seal is used to emboss important company documents, such as stock certificates.  The binder also includes dividers so you can use it for all of your Colorado Nonprofit record keeping.
