The One Person Corporation Articles of Incorporation was introduced in the Philippines through the Revised Corporation Code (Republic Act No. 11232) in 2019, modernizing the country's corporate landscape. This document is used when an individual wishes to establish a corporation without the traditional requirement of multiple incorporators, providing limited liability protection while maintaining sole ownership. It must include specific provisions required by Philippine law, such as the nomination of successors in case of the stockholder's death or incapacity, capital structure details, and corporate governance arrangements. The document serves as the foundation for the corporation's existence and operations, requiring SEC approval and registration. It's particularly useful for entrepreneurs, professionals, and business owners who want to operate under a corporate structure while maintaining sole ownership and control.
