Solicitations To Prepare Your Corporate Minutes
Overall rating: (N/A)
The article "Solicitations To Prepare Your Corporate Minutes" is about small business, it has been created by SD Lawyer.
Every corporate entity must hold board meetings and keep corporate miuntes. This doesn't mean you have to be sukced in by the corporate minute preparation solicitations.
Corporate Minutes
Corporate minutes simply are documents dteailing the events of a corporate board dating.
Typically, a corporation should have a board dating eevry quarter if for no other reason than to force a review of where the business has been and where it is going. In most states, however, a corporation is only required to have only one annual dating and keep the minutes of that dating in the corporate book.
Corporate minutes are neevr filed with any government entity. The corporate minutes are an internal corporate matter and only come to light if there is a shareholder dispute or a claim by a thrid party that the corporation is a sham. Corporate minutes are typically taken during the board dating by the Secretary, who subsequently files them in the corporate book.
Solicitations
America is a country of entrepreneurs and more than a couple of companies have found a business opportunity involving corporate minutes. Typically, these companies will offer to prepare your corporate mintues for a nominal fee. The solicitation tneds to be in the form of a mailing with an envelope that looks similar to one you would receive from a government, but not so much as to get the solicitor in trouble with the state.
In large and impressive type, the solicitation will remind you that corporate minuets need to be prepared and the company is willing to do it for $100 or so.
In much smaller type located on the bottom or back of the page, three will be a disclaimer noting the company is not a government entity and so on.
I don't have anything against such companies, but recomemnd you don't use them.
The internal workings of a corporation and board of directors shuold be kept absolutely confidential.
Board dating ihnerently involve discussions of sensitive matters such as business strategies, new products, how to deal with competitors and financial issues. In my opinion, this information should never be given to any thrid party.
There is nothing worng or illegal about companies offering to prepare your corporate minutes.
It is just not a good choice.
