incorporators
Company formation initiators
Incorporators are the people who establish a corporation by filing the necessary legal documents with a state.
They sign the articles of incorporation and handle initial organizational matters—appointing directors, adopting bylaws—before the company begins operating.
Once the corporation is formed, incorporators typically step aside unless they also become shareholders or officers.
