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. Meeting minutes form the primary paper trail of a corporation's legal life--and The Corporate Records Handbook provides all the instructions and forms you need to prepare them. Minutes forms include: * 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! The Corporate Records Handbook gives you the forms you need to keep required records. This edition has been updated to reflect the latest changes in the law.
