Ownership & corporate practice of medicine in Wyoming

⛔ WYOMING PUTS THE OWNERSHIP RULE INTO LANGUAGE THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION MUST ACTUALLY CONTAIN. A professional practice corporation incorporated after the act must carry this sentence in its articles, immediately after the provision on authorized shares: “All shareholders of the corporation are, and will continually be, licensed in the profession for which the corporation is formed, and no professional service will be offered by the corporation except by or under the supervision of licensed stockholders or licensed employees.” Two things follow that a med spa should read carefully — the shareholder requirement is CONTINUING (“and will continually be”), not merely a condition at formation; and services may be offered by or UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF licensed stockholders or licensed employees. The corporate name must end with “A Professional Corporation” or the initials “P.C.”. These claims survey the professional corporation provisions of Title 17 and do not report on restrictions elsewhere in Wyoming law.

  • The articles of incorporation of a professional practice corporation incorporated after the date of this act shall contain the following language: "All shareholders of the corporation are, and will continually be, licensed in the profession for which the corporation is formed, and no professional service will be offered by the corporation except by or under the supervision of licensed stockholders or licensed employees." This language shall be inserted in the articles immediately after the provisions pertaining to the aggregate number of shares which the corporation is authorized to issue.
