A protocol with forms for management of a corporate record book
Objectify important corporate activities required by business corporation statutes, help with audits and avoid piercing of the corporate veil!
A flash drive with suggestions for the ongoing management of your corporation record book with a questionnaire/checklist for annual record book maintenance, 12 pertinent forms and 29 resolutions. A basic set of Microsoft Word and pdf forms that enable you to easily complete and quickly cut and paste the appropriate forms together to create an annual record of actions taken and meetings held by the corporation.
After you organize your corporation. . .
Often, organizers of a corporation do not take full advantage of the opportunities available to the entity. After completion of formation formalities they don’t record the decisions made to manage the corporation during its life.
A corporation is a business tool that can provide asset protection, tax benefits, reduced personal liability and a better way for its principals to invest in the business. To obtain these advantages, you must observe the corporate formalities required by business corporation statutes. Failure to do so can result in the “piercing of the corporate veil,” a legal phrase that means that the owners become responsible for the debts and actions of the corporation.
Corporate Manager includes a Corporate Audit Questionnaire to help you maintain your Corporate Record Book on an annual or more frequent basis. Completing the Audit Questionnaire creates a checklist of matters to be objectified. Each year, on the anniversary of the corporate formation, use it to select among the 64 forms in Corporate Manager to complete your documents for signature and inclusion in your Corporate Record Book.
If you are involved in a lawsuit and the plaintiff is claiming that the corporation is the “alter ego” and the personal pocketbook of its principals or owners, or you are subject to a tax audit, the annual Certification of Company Resolution(s) and other documents prepared with Corporate Manager that objectify the corporation’s management, will be evidence that the corporation lives by the rules of the By-Laws and the decisions approved in writing by it’s management.
