About Corp1, Inc.

The Corp1 Story

Corp1 was originally formed as Del Corp America (Del Corp) in 1989 by Carolyn McKown when she left a prominent service provider to start her own company.  Carolyn and Mike McKown later formed a sister company called CorpAmerica and operated both companies simultaneously until they sold CorpAmerica to Lexis Document Solutions in 2000.  Carolyn and Mike retained Del Corp until they retired a second time to become "snow-birds" in Arizona at which time they handed off Del Corp to their (then) daughter-in-law, Kelly McKown.  Kelly managed Del Corp while she worked for other corporate service companies ultimately becoming President of Incorporating Services, Ltd. (ISL) in 2003.

Having an entrepreneurial spirit, in December of 2010, Kelly left ISL to pursue her dreams.  She decided to grow Del Corp into a bigger and better company, drawing from her successes at ISL.  She found an amazing domain name and changed the name of the company to Corp1, Inc., to create a new brand that will be recognizable around the world as a leader in the incorporation industry.  Corp1's corporate services include company formation (incorporating), registered agent, corporate filings, corporate record retrieval, UCC searches and filings and other corporate services.  BECAUSE IT'S YOUR BUSINESS!
