Justee's articles of incorporation review tool analyzes corporate formation documents for state compliance, stock structure clarity, registered agent designations, and required provisions completeness. The AI identifies risks including inadequate stock authorization, missing indemnification provisions, improper purpose clauses, and registered agent issues. Justee provides suggested revisions based on state corporate law requirements. Articles of incorporation are the foundational documents filed with the state to legally create a corporation. They establish the corporation's existence, authorize stock issuance, and define basic corporate structure. Common issues include insufficient authorized shares for future fundraising, missing director liability protections, and noncompliant purpose statements. Professional review ensures smooth incorporation and proper corporate governance.

Hypothetical Case Study by Justee

Justee recently analyzed their certificate of incorporation prior to filing for a tech startup incorporating in Delaware for their seed round.

Issue Found: The articles only authorized 1,000,000 shares of common stock with no preferred stock authorization, which would require an expensive amendment before they could close their financing round.

Justee Recommendation: We recommended authorizing 10,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock to accommodate future funding rounds without amendment.

Insufficient Share Authorization

Problematic Language

"The Corporation is authorized to issue One Million (1,000,000) shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share."

Recommended Language

"The Corporation is authorized to issue Fifteen Million (15,000,000) shares, consisting of: (i) Ten Million (10,000,000) shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share; and (ii) Five Million (5,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share."

Why it matters: Under-authorizing shares forces expensive amendments before each funding round. Blank check preferred allows the board to create new series without shareholder votes.

No credit card required

"Justee is redefining the legal document compliance process across all practice areas, transforming hours of work into minutes, while reducing stress and boosting accuracy."

Articles of Incorporation Review FAQ

Articles of incorporation are the legal documents filed with the state to create a corporation. They establish the company's existence and basic structure.

Required information typically includes corporate name, registered agent, number of authorized shares, incorporator names, and sometimes director names and purpose.

Authorize more shares than you plan to issue initially to accommodate future investment, employee equity, and growth. Justee identifies when authorization is insufficient.

A registered agent receives legal documents and government correspondence on behalf of the corporation. They must have a physical address in the state of incorporation.

Yes, but amendments require board and shareholder approval and state filing fees. Getting it right initially saves time and money.

Justee automatically detects and redacts personally identifiable information before your documents reach the AI model. Protected types include:

Personal data:
  • Names, email addresses, and phone numbers
  • Social Security numbers and tax identifiers (ITIN)
  • Physical addresses and dates of birth
  • Credit card and bank account numbers
  • Driver's license and passport numbers

Our system achieves 100% detection of standard PII types and approximately 97% overall coverage. Certain rare identifiers — such as cryptocurrency wallet addresses and MAC addresses — may not be detected automatically. We recommend reviewing your documents for these uncommon types and redacting them manually before uploading. See our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use for details and limitations.
