Normal processing time for a new New Mexico Professional Corporation is 2-3 weeks.

This is the time by which the New Mexico Secretary of State will either approve or deny the Professional Corporation application.  New Mexico Professional Corporation applications must be received by the Secretary of State before noon New Mexico time for the process to start that day. Another way to expedite your order is to choose the Express Mail option.  The Express Mail option can cut document delivery times in half.

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 New Mexico Secretary of State's processing time. For the quickest turn-around time also choose the Expedited Service option.

S Corporations are taxed differently than C Corporations.  With an S Corporation, business profits may be "passed through" directly to the shareholders.  This avoids the double tax on both corporate and shareholder profits.  S Corporations do not pay any New Mexico Corporate Income Tax.

We can prepare the S Corporation Election form for you and include it with your Incorporation documents.

We will prepare and file your Biennial Report with the New Mexico Secretary of State and include filing confirmation with your final Incorporation documents. 

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

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

We can act as your New Mexico Professional Corporation 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 NM Registered Agent services.

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

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

A New Mexico Good Standing Certficate is proof of the existence of your new New Mexico Professional Corporation. The Certificate is issued by the New Mexico Secretary of State and is proof that your NM Professional Corporation is not behind on any of its New Mexico Secretary of State Corporate obligations.

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

We can get your New Mexico Good Standing Certificate immediately after the New Mexico Secretary of State has approved your Articles of Incorporation.

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

You can get your FEIN before your articles are approved by the New Mexico Secretary of State but it's a good idea to wait until after approval.  Your filing may be rejected or the Professional Corporation 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 Corporation Kit and Seal for your new New Mexico Corporation they do come in handy.  The NM Corporation Kit consists of a beautiful customized binder, stock certificates, a stock ledger and your custom Corporation Seal.

The Corporation 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 New Mexico Corporation record keeping.

Most new New Mexico Professional Corporations are required to get some kind of state, regional or local permits or business licenses.  The task to figure out exactly what you need can be daunting.

We can determine exactly which forms you need to fill out, fill them out for you and file the forms with the appropriate government agency where possible.
