These continuous requirements include those related to the following: Taxes. Corporations must file their annual tax returns. Securities. Corporations must issue stock as their security laws and articles of incorporation mandate. Bookkeeping.Board meetings.Meeting minutes.State registration.Licensing.
Personnel Requirements Number of officers or directors: Your corporation must have at least one officer, director or incorporator. You don't have to disclose officers or directors in your Articles of Incorporation. However, you must include your incorporator.

Such bylaws are created usually after the Articles of Incorporation are submitted, which is why a lot of people often get confused between the two.
