The first step in organizing a corporation is to obtain a charter from the state. The charter authorizes the corporation to issue a certain number of shares of stock to the owners of the business, who are called stockholders. The incorporators (Kelly and Lewis) will need a set of bylaws to determine how the corporation is to be governed internally. The stockholders will elect a board of directors who in turn appoint officers to manage the corporation on a day-to-day basis.
