The Option To Provide A Delayed Start

  Delaying the effective date of incorporation

A company generally comes into existence and becomes "incorporated” when the Articles of Incorporation (for a C-corporation or S-corporation) or the Articles of Organization (for a LLC) are filed with the state. Becoming incorporated on the date of filing is usually the best option. However, if there is a reason that you require your company to become incorporated at a later date, states allow a delayed effective date, if so stated on the Articles.
