How many shares of stock are authorized to be issued? Nevada Articles of Incorporation state the number of shares which are authorized to be issued and the par value (if any) of each share. Most incorporators will designate "no par value" in states where it is permitted (such as in Nevada). More The value and number of shares can be changed later - even after the entity is incorporated. Par value is an arbitrary amount assigned to the shares of stock. It does not refer to the actual purchase price required for the shares, but shares cannot be sold at less than the stated par value. When will shares be sold and stock certificates issued? Please indicate if the directors will authorize the sale and issuance of stock immediately after incorporating or if it will be conducted in the future. More on issuance of corporate shares Sale of shares and issuance of stock certificates at this juncture may not be desirable from an economic or strategic standpoint in some instances. While Articles of Incorporation must designate the number of authorized shares, it's not required that shares be issued or sold to legally incorporate. If the directors will sell shares and issue stock certificates immediately upon incorporating, we will need the shareholders names, amounts of capital contributions and characteristics of the contributions (i.e. cash, services or property). Ordering one of our corporate kits is also recommended if you are going to issue shares as soon as the Articles are filed.
