congratulations on your new corporation well you have your corporate binder and the corporate binder is very important why because it holds all of your corporate records your corporate records are part of what proves what you do what you do and why you do when you have your minutes when you have your resolutions when you have to dig out those copies of your bylaws you want to be able to get to everything right away and the corporate binder is a great way to keep everything in one place so we've made it easy for you your corporate binder has your name and box on the side and in the front it tells you that it's holding all those important corporate records so now let's get started the first thing you'll see will be your embosser your embosser is like a signature of your corporation you can emboss things to authenticate to verify to endorse those are two types of things that your embosser can be used for you see in times of old when there were kings and queens and they had their own cygnets on their rings they would have that piece of wax on that envelope and they would seal it that way you knew it came from them only they had that special seal well your corporate seal is the same way it has on it the name of your corporation the date that you were incorporated and the state that you were incorporated that makes it your official corporate seal now you might wonder when will I use it well you can definitely endorse your minutes and your different documents and resolutions along the way but there might even be different agencies and people that you might get into relationship with they would want to see your corporate seal maybe at the end of a contract maybe in lieu of them identifying that your business is actually operating properly some brokerage accounts ask for seal specimens so you'll see along the way that the corporate seal is important to have handy so make sure you always know where it is so inside of your binder there are tabs and all the tabs separate all the different areas that you'll have to keep record of well the first tab that we have is your articles the articles are all of your organizing instruments that come from the Secretary of State so whether you are incorporated in Nevada or California it would all be in this section your articles so the first thing you'll see behind your article section would be a cover page the cover page is officially from the Secretary of State and on it it authenticates that your articles are endorsed and filed so your articles will always have that cover page the next sheet we see is your Articles of Incorporation those are the original articles that were filed with the Secretary of State that have an endorse file copy stamp on it and your copy will have a corporate ID number the corporate ID number identifies that you are a separate entity that is certified to do business in the state so the articles are important and it's important to always know where they are a lot of times in you'll do business and you'll get into different contracts they'll ask you for a copy of your articles so you'll want to be able to identify them right away so this is what they would be asking for this is what they might want to see this is what you want to have handy your articles of incorporation so it's in a safe place in your binder your next tab is bylaws bylaws are the laws that govern your corporation you see your corporation has to be governed it has rules and regulations just like any other type of entity that exists so your corporation isn't exempt from having laws that govern it so you'll see in the next page we have your bylaws index that's a break out of all of the sections that are within your bylaws you might want to know how to remove someone how to add someone what happens if someone resigns how many meetings do we have to have well you can go right to that section in your bylaws on the respective page and you'll be able to execute whatever that is so let's get started and get into those bylaws now don't be intimidated I know that it looks like a lot of legal jargon but you want to know that it's part of what teksu and it's part of what allows you to do business properly when we chose these particular bylaws for our clients as a sample we look to choose the ones that we're going to benefit you the most give you the most freedom and hopefully never have the need to amend so the bylaws would have your corporation name on it and you'll see your article 1 so your article 1 which denotes that you have to have an office will say the principal office of the corporation shall be located at 1 2 3 4 your address Street city state and zip code but what we've done is we've added this clause it says and it may be change from time to time by the Board of Directors what that cause did was it gave you a little bit more freedom it allows you to change it doesn't say that your office is located there forever and if you ever change it you have to amend it no it may change from time to time by who the board of directors so if the board decides to move the office to Hawaii that's ok because the board saw fit to change it the corporation may also maintain offices at such other places within or without the United States as the board of directors may from time to time determine well what that's done is given you the freedom to have offices outside of the United States so if you decide to have a board meeting in Jamaica well that's up to you and if the Board of Directors decide to do it then that is absolutely fine so the bylaws gives you the freedom to do the things that you need to do to run your business so the bylaws read in such a way so that throughout you'll see where it says what it needs to say but then gives you a little bit more freedom as to how you can execute the other thing in your bylaws you want to make sure that you do is don't forget to sign them it makes it official it makes it that it is now in full of force so if you don't sign it then it actually isn't being implemented in your business but you don't want to have an empty binder that's not brought to life so the moment that you put your signature on there it's brought to life so that is your bylaws
