Rhode Island statutes require a Rhode Island corporation to have
at least one corporate officer. However, there are normally three
(3) principal officers in a corporation; a President, a Secretary
and a Treasurer. RhodeIsland requires you to have at minimum a President
and a Secretary.
RhodeIsland Law permits one person to hold more than one office. Therefore,
one person may be designated to all three offices.
The documents contained in our Corporate Kit E-Book appoint all three
of the above officers. You may appoint yourself to each of these offices,
or each of these offices may be held by different persons.
It is important that you formally appoint the officers in your corporation
in inital corporate actions and proceedings. It is also important
that the activities of the officers be reviewed by the Directors of
your corporation on a regular basis and that the directors re-elect
the officers on an annual basis.
Your Rhode Island corporate kit documents include forms for electing
Officers and for the acceptance of those positions by the officers.
