Incorporate in New Mexico (Nmprc)


A corporation is the most complex and formal
business structure. A corporation exists as a
distinct legal entity. As a legal ìperson,î separate
from its owners, the corporation can make its own
contracts, raise capital, assume liability, and ó
just like the rest of us ó pay taxes. Corporations
are usually formed by the authority of a state
government. In New Mexico, they are governed by
the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission
(NMPRC).

If you wish to establish a corporation, specific
statutory criteria must be met. (see Are Your
Papers In Order?)
Having a corporation may provide you with
a vehicle for raising capital through the sale of
shares of stock to either selected individuals or the
general public. While shareholders own the corporation
and select the management, they are generally
not liable (in their roles as owners) for claims
against the corporation beyond, of course, the
amount they invested in the stock.

The corporationís status as a separate legal
entity provides for continuity of existence. Death
of an officer, director or stockholder, or the transfer
of shares, for example, do not result in the termination
of the corporation. Its management can continue
to conduct business as before.
