Incorporating in Connecticut

For complete and current information concerning Connecticut corporations you should go to the State of Connecticut Secretary of the State web site. The following is not an attempt to present all you need to know when forming a corporation in Connecticut  but rather to call your attention to just some of the basic information and requirements you may want to know as you submit information to form your corporation.

The information herein is cited from the State of Connecticut Secretary of the State web site and Connecticut Statutes. While we make every effort to ensure its accuracy, MaxFilings cannot and does not guarantee that all of the information is accurate or complete and/or current and it should therefore be independently verified.

Connecticut corporation name:

A Connecticut corporation name shall contain the word "corporation", "incorporated", "company", "Societa per Azioni", or "limited", or the abbreviation "corp.", "inc.", "co.", "S.p.A." or "ltd." Subject to certain exceptions, the name must be distinguishable from the names of any other entities organized or authorized to transact business in Connecticut as well as names reserved or registered in accordance with the Connecticut laws.

Connecticut corporation board of directors:

A Connecticut corporation’s board of directors shall consist of one or more individuals, with the number specified in, or fixed in accordance with, the certificate of incorporation or bylaws.
Directors need not be residents of Connecticut or shareholders of the corporation unless the certificate of incorporation or bylaws so prescribe. The certificate of incorporation or the bylaws may set forth qualifications for directors.

Connecticut corporation officers:

A Connecticut corporation shall have the officers described in its bylaws or designated by the board of directors in accordance with the bylaws. The board of directors may elect one or more officers of the corporation. An officer may appoint one or more officers if authorized to do so by the bylaws or the board of directors. The bylaws or the board of directors shall assign one officer responsibility for preparing minutes of shareholders' and directors’ meetings and for maintaining and authenticating corporation records required to be kept under Connecticut law. The same person may simultaneously hold more than one office in a Connecticut corporation.

Connecticut corporation shareholders’ and directors’ meetings:

A Connecticut corporation shall hold annual shareholders’ meetings at a time stated in, or fixed in accordance with, the bylaws. Directors are elected at the first annual shareholders' meeting and at subsequent annual meetings unless directors’ terms are staggered as permitted under Connecticut law. Annual shareholders' meetings may be held in or out of Connecticut at the place stated in, or fixed in accordance with, the bylaws. If no place is stated in, or fixed in accordance with, the bylaws, annual shareholders’ meetings shall be held at the corporation's principal office. Special shareholders’ meetings shall be held on call of its board of directors or the person(s) authorized to do so by the certificate of incorporation or bylaws; or, upon the demand of a sufficient number of shareholders as prescribed in Connecticut law. Special shareholders' meetings may be held in or out of Connecticut at the place stated in, or fixed in accordance with, the bylaws. If no place is stated in, or fixed in accordance with, the bylaws, special shareholders’ meetings shall be held at the corporation's principal office.

Regular or special board of directors’ meetings may be held in or out of Connecticut. Regular board of directors’ meetings may be held without notice of the date, time, place or purpose of the meeting unless the certificate of incorporation or bylaws provide otherwise. Special board of directors’ meetings shall be preceded by at least two days' notice of the date, time and place of the meeting unless the certificate of incorporation or bylaws provide for a longer or shorter period. Notice of special board of directors’ meetings need not describe the purpose of the meeting unless required by the certificate of incorporation or bylaws.

Connecticut corporation reporting:

With certain specified exceptions, domestic corporations and foreign corporations authorized to transact business in Connecticut shall file an annual report with the Secretary of the State.
The first annual report of a domestic corporation shall be filed within thirty days after its organization meeting.
