The cost to incorporate in Rhode Island is $230.00 and must be sent, along with Articles of Incorporation, to the Secretary of State's office for registration.

If your corporate name does not conflict with another name currently on file in Rhode Island, and if the other corporate requirements are followed, your corporation will be filed and made a legal entity, legally separate from its owners and officers.

In addition to incorporating, Rhode Island requires other business filings and periodic reports. More information can be found by visiting the Secretary of State's office's website.
