Why Incorporate in Alabama
-
In 1850, legislation authorized the Alabama Secretary of State to file
and certify Articles of Incorporation for road construction companies, and
the Corporations Division was born. In the years that followed, steamship,
railroad, banks and insurance companies were required to file Articles or
Charters of Incorporation with the Secretary of State. In time, the Office
of the Secretary of State became the depository for corporate records, and
the need for a Corporations section was evident. Today, the Corporations
Division, staffed by 11 employees, receives some 500 requests each day
for information regarding its 250,000 filings.

Limited Partnership
-
In a LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, the assets and liabilities are divided between general and limited partners. Thus, limited partners -- in contrast to general members -- are liable for the debts and liabilities of the Partnership only to the amount of their stakes in the partnership's capital.

Registered Limited Liability Partnerships
-
In a LIMITED LIABILITY PARTNERSHIP, the assets of each partner are more secured. This is due to the fact that the members of a Limited Liability Partnership do not bear responsibility for any debts or liabilities that have been caused by improper or invalid acts of the other members, officers or agents of the Partnership. In all other cases, the members of the Partnership are liable for all debts and liabilities of the Partnership as well as for all debts and liabilities that have been caused by acts committed by any officer subordinated directly or managed by the partners.
