Question: I'm in process of setting up a C corporation and a business, I would like to know how to set the business up as a division of the corporation? Response: A "division" of a corporation is really just a creature of accounting. It is not a separate legal entity. Thus, there are no filings done to create a "division". The only exception would be if you are going to use a separate trade name (also known as a "fictitious name") for this division: i.e., All-True Paving, a division of Jones Construction, Inc. or Jones Construction d/b/a All-True Paving. If the corporation was going to use a trade name, generally the corporation is required to file a trade name designation with the secretary of state's office. Here is the Missouri form used to register a fictitious name with the secretary of state. Speak with your accountant regarding the mechanics of keeping a separate set of books for a division.
