The Corporations Division provides a multitude of services for Arizona businesses, including approving articles of incorporation to start a corporation, approval of articles of organization to start a limited liability company (LLC) and granting authority to foreign (non-Arizona) corporations and LLC to transact business in this state.  We also process filings to make changes to corporations and LLCs or to close them down when they cease to conduct business. When corporations or LLCs fail to comply with statutory provisions, including keeping their business information up-to-date, we have the ability to terminate their right to conduct business. The Corporations Division maintains all of the previously mentioned information as well as copies of filings in a database that is accessible to the public.  We respond to public questions and concerns, and disseminate relevant information to the business community to keep them up-to-date on any relevant business news or process changes.
