Incorporation checklist
How to review and confirm your incorporation details before Korp files with the SEC.
After your incorporation package is confirmed, Korp prepares your SEC filing details from the information you provided. The incorporation checklist is where you review those details step by step and confirm they're correct — or tell us what needs to change.
It's a pre-filing step only. Once your application is submitted to the SEC, the checklist closes and your case moves forward through the statuses in the incorporation process.
When it appears#
The checklist appears only when both of these are true:
- Korp has activated it for your case — our team finishes preparing your details internally first.
- Your request is in a preparation status — from Package confirmed through Awaiting signature, or Action required if something needs your input.
You'll see it as a card at the top of your case file, labelled Incorporation checklist, with a progress bar showing how many steps you've confirmed.

If your request is in Action required, the card switches to a red Required now state:

What you're reviewing#
Korp structures your incorporation details into eight steps:
| Step | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Company profile | Company name, type, classification, and business activity |
| Projected sales | Expected revenue mix for SEC reporting |
| Industry and purpose | SEC industry code and the primary purpose clause for your Articles |
| Capital structure | Authorized capital, share classes, subscribers, and amounts |
| Incorporators & officers | Directors, the president, treasurer, and their roles |
| Official contact | Registered address and official contact details |
| Fiscal year | Fiscal year end, term of existence, and annual meeting schedule |
| Supporting documents | Government IDs, TIN proof, and registered office documents — see required documents |
Most fields are prefilled by Korp from your application. You can edit them if something is wrong.
How to work through it#
Open the checklist from your case file and move through the steps one at a time.
Incorporation checklist
Step 1 of 80/8 confirmedReview filing details for Articles and By-laws. Confirm each section — or tell us what to change.
Company profile
Name, type, classification, and industry.
Prepared by Korp from your application — review and confirm, or request changes if anything needs updating.
Confirm & continue#
Use this when the details look correct, the step is complete, and you haven't edited any fields. Empty or incomplete steps cannot be confirmed. The step is marked as confirmed and you move to the next one.
Editing fields#
You may change values directly. Once you edit a step, a notice appears and the primary action becomes Request changes — you can't confirm that step until our team reviews your edits.
Request changes#
Use this when something is wrong or you've edited fields yourself. Describe what needs updating (required if you didn't edit fields; optional if your edits already show what changed). Our team updates the details and notifies you when the step is ready to review again.

Capital structure
Authorized capital, shares, and subscribers.
You requested changes here.
“The authorized capital should be ₱2,000,000, not ₱1,000,000.”
Our team will update these details. We'll notify you when they're ready to review again.
Supporting documents#
The last step collects required uploads — typically a government-issued photo ID and TIN proof for each incorporator, plus proof of your registered office address. See required documents for file types, size limits, and tips.
Tracking your progress#
The checklist header shows a running tally — for example, Step 4 of 8 · 3/8 confirmed — and flags any steps where you've requested changes. Each step also carries a status badge:

Step 4 of 83/8 confirmed · 1 changesReview filing details for Articles and By-laws. Confirm each section — or tell us what to change.
- Prefilled — review — Korp prepared this step; it hasn't been reviewed yet
- Confirmed — you approved the details
- Changes requested — you flagged something; our team is working on it
When all eight steps are confirmed, the checklist shows Done. You can still revisit it until the application is filed with the SEC.
If your request shows Action required#
When your case file displays Action required, the incorporation checklist is usually what's blocking progress. Finish confirming every step — or submit change requests for anything that still needs correction — and our team will pick the filing back up once the details are in order.
Payment and the checklist#
If your Korp service payment is still pending, you can continue reviewing the checklist while checkout completes. A payment notice may appear at the top of the checklist with a link to finish payment, but it doesn't block your review.
Payment pending — you can keep reviewing while checkout completes.
Pay nowWhere it fits in the process#
The checklist sits in the preparation phase, between package confirmation and electronic signing:
- Package confirmed — your package is confirmed; our team prepares and activates the checklist
- You review and confirm all eight steps (or request changes)
- Name verification through Documents in preparation — our team continues preparing your filing using the confirmed details
- Awaiting signature — your documents are ready for electronic authentication
- Filed with SEC — the checklist closes; your application is with the SEC
