Does the entity have to issue stock?
Shares of stock represent ownership of the entity. Where no shares are issued, no individual owns the entity. Thus, shares must be issued to those individuals who will own the entity. While most states have created many exceptions and exemptions from registering a stock issuance with the State or with the SEC for most small businesses, it may be wise to contact the appropriate entity to determine whether you must file a notice of stock issuance on a state or Federal Level. Because we are an administrative service, our company CANNOT be involved with your entity’s stock issuance. For help regarding your entity’s stock issuance, please contact a licensed attorney or the appropriate state entity.
