There are several corporate bylaws and either "organizational minutes" or "organizational consent."
Some states offer corporations the option of electing to be organized as a "close corporation." If the corporation qualifies and makes such an election, it is allowed to operate under relaxed, partnership-type rules, allowing for less formal management by the shareholders instead of the directors and officers. However, few corporations actually make such an election and an informed decision to make such an election should only be carried out after consultation with a lawyer.
IMPORTANT: State and federal securities laws require compliance with complex registration procedures unless the incorporation process meets a set of exemptions, including: (a) a very limited number of persons will purchase the stock, (b) there will be absolutely no public solicitation or advertising to sell the shares, (c) the shares will be sold/issued to persons who will become directors or officers of the corporation or who are immediate family members of a shareholder/director or shareholder/officer, and (d) the shares will be purchased by persons who intend to hold the shares for their own investment and not for resale. Consult an attorney or other advisor for further information.
A lawyer or tax advisor should be consulted regarding the advisability of electing to be treated as a "Subchapter S" corporation for federal income tax purposes. (See Additional Steps for details.
