Alabama Business Filings Portal

Forming a business in Alabama is simple with the Alabama Business Filings Portal. The Alabama Secretary of State’s Office has produced a brief, instructional video that provides a quick overview of the business filings process. I believe that this video will help business owners across the state understand that these procedures are not as daunting as they may seem, and the use of third-party services is not needed in order to file the formation and dissolution paperwork. The video can be viewed on the Secretary of State’s YouTube channel at the following link: https://youtu.be/U_OBk1zZMb4. Please share this video with your colleagues and clients. Our Business Services Director, Elaine Swearengin, can be reached at 334-242-7221 and Elaine.Swearengin@sos.alabama.gov, and our Assistant Division Director, Stephanie Keithahn, can be reached at 334-242-5913 and Stephanie.Keithahn@sos.alabama.gov if you have any questions or concerns.

I greatly appreciate your assistance.
