What Are Articles of Incorporation in Guam?
These are statutory documents filed with Guam’s Department of Revenue & Taxation to legally incorporate a business. They establish your corporation’s legal identity, governance structure, share capital, and incorporator information.
Inclusion of a registered agent is optional in Guam—but still required separately when applying for a business license. The state charges a $100 filing fee for Articles.
Key Components to Include
- Corporate Name: Must include “Corp.,” “Inc.,” “Co.,” “Ltd.,” or long form equivalents. Guam law prohibits using “and” before “Company.”
- Authorized Shares: Specify the number and classes of stock your corporation is authorized to issue.
- Main Office Location: Provide your principal place of business in Guam.
- Incorporators: List each incorporator’s full name and address.
- Initial Capital Statement: If applicable, include subscribers, share amounts, and payment status—minimum of 20% subscribed and 25% paid.
