Summary
"A limited liability company can give a small business both tax benefits and protection from personal liability for business debts. But without careful record keeping, regular meetings, and formal minutes, it could lose these advantages. This book provides all the instructions and forms needed to maintain the legal validity of an LLC. Forms include: Call of Meeting; Notice of Meeting; Certification of Mailing of Notice; Membership Voting Proxy; Minutes of LLC Meeting; Waiver of Notice of Meeting; Approval of LLC Minutes; and Written Consents for Single-Member LLCs. This book also includes more than 50 of the most commonly used legal resolutions to insert in your minutes or written consents. These can be used to: declare distributions of LLC profits to members; hire employees and contract with outside firms; approve LLC contracts; approve salary increases and bonuses; authorize bank loans; elect corporate tax treatment for the LLC; and amend the articles and operating agreement"--
