Most state laws allow the formation and operation of a corporation by just one person. This is one of those questions that require looking at the specific state requirements of the state in which you plan to register your corporation. Some states require more than one director or the secretary to be someone different from the president. The basic formalities described in Part 4 should still be observed, except that a one-person corporation will likely use the Consent in Lieu of a Corporate Meeting. This is more often the case since it makes little practical sense for one person to hold a meeting with themselves.
