(2) Upon the issuance of the certificate of incorporation, the insurer's corporate existence shall begin and the insurer shall have all authority and power, subject to the limitations prescribed in the Insurance Code, as may be necessary and proper to complete its organization, obtain its initial capital and otherwise complete the requirements to qualify for a certificate of authority to transact the class or classes of insurance proposed in its articles of incorporation.
