Articles of Incorporation vs. Articles of Organization
Articles of incorporation are not the same as articles of organization. They are filed by corporations’ founders, while articles of organization are filed by LLCs.
Another Name for the Articles of Incorporation
The articles of incorporation are also known as a certificate of incorporation or charter.
