Corporate Bylaws

Defines the internal rules, structure, and procedures of your S-Corp or C-Corp. Required by most states.

Why you need one

Governing rules for your corp

Meetings, quorum, voting, officers, and dividends — the internal constitution your corporation runs on.

Required by most states

Most states require corporations to adopt bylaws — yours is filed in the corporate record book.

Protects the corporate veil

Formal governance keeps courts from piercing the veil and holding you personally liable.

S-Corp ready

Drafted aware of S-Corp restrictions (100-shareholder max, one class of stock).
