According to Secretary of State John Thurston, their office has been assisting many small businesses in Arkansas that are currently applying for loans under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). They are assisting in providing the required copies of incorporating documents as a stipulation of the program.
“We continue to work daily with Arkansas’ financial institutions to provide businesses the requested documents in a timely manner,” stated Thurston. “We strive to provide a response to requests within one hour and are providing same-day service on returning non-certified copies of articles.”
Their Business and Commercial Services staff has been responding to more than 400 emails per day from businesses across Arkansas since March 17th, according to a statement issued Thursday.
Corporations and LLCs can obtain a regular copy of their articles by emailing [email protected].
Online services are available 24 hours including certificates of good standing, to be downloaded immediately after purchase.
