I am starting a new company in California, and desire it to be an S-Corp. I have gone to the Secretary of State today and filed the Articles of Incorporation ( pasted below). Can anyone tell me if I did it correctly? In hindsight, I recognize I should have seeked counsel from this team before my submission. Is there anything wrong or anything I missed? Any help is GREATLY appreciated!
