The Corporate Records Handbook: Meetings, Minutes & Resolutions

Keep your corporate status—and avoid personal liability

Incorporating your business is an important first step in obtaining limited liability status. To keep that status, you must observe a number of legal formalities, including holding and documenting shareholder and director meetings.

• Notice of Meeting

• Shareholder Proxy

• Minutes of Annual Shareholders’ Meeting

• Minutes of Annual Directors’ Meeting

• Waiver of Notice of Meeting, and

• Written Consent to Action Without Meeting.

You’ll also find more than 75 additional resolutions which let you:

• elect S corporation tax status

• borrow or lend money

• adopt pension and profit-sharing plans

• authorize bank loans

• authorize a corporate line of credit

• set up employee benefit plans

• purchase or lease a company car

• amend articles and bylaws

• and more!
