## Incorporation Documents

Stripe Atlas utilizes a set of standard documents to incorporate your company. These documents are developed in collaboration with Cooley LLP and are designed to cover common incorporation needs.

### Document Overview

*   **Certificate of Incorporation:** This is the primary document filed with the Delaware Division of Corporations to officially establish your company. It also appoints your registered agent and is often required for opening a business bank account. It will contain the unique file number assigned to your company by Delaware.
*   **Action by Written Consent of Sole Incorporator:** This document formally appoints the initial board of directors for your company.
*   **Bylaws:** These bylaws outline the operational framework of your company, defining the roles of the board and officers. They also establish company procedures for activities such as board meetings and the approval of shares, setting the standard rules for corporate governance.
*   **Certificate of Secretary of Bylaws:** This certificate confirms the adoption of the company's bylaws, serving as evidence that your company has followed standard corporate procedures since its incorporation.
*   **Initial Action by the Board of Directors:** This document records the initial actions taken by the board of directors.

### Important Considerations

*   Stripe Atlas provides these documents as templates and does not constitute legal advice. For customized documents or specific legal needs, it is recommended to consult with a lawyer.
*   After your company is formed, you can access and download all your incorporation documents from the "Documents" tab within your Stripe Atlas Dashboard.
