Sometimes it is also called a “Certificate of Incorporation.” Articles of incorporation generally include information about the name of the incorporator (a person who is organizing the corporation), the number of shares a corporation is authorized to issue, the names of its board of directors and address of its registered office. In some cases the corporation may have to specify the name of a registered agent. Articles of incorporation take different forms depending on the activities of a corporation, and the local rules and regulations. It gives a broad idea about the activities and functions of an organization, but one cannot get detailed information about the company's operations in this document.
