Minutes and corporate formalities

Keep a minute book, a stock or membership ledger, and governing documents. Minutes are a record. They are not a Secretary of State filing and they do not by themselves stop a piercing claim.

State-law corporations usually document organizational action, annual director and shareholder action (or written consents), officer appointments, equity issuances, and banking authority. LLCs more often use member or manager consents plus an operating agreement.

Courts that ignore the liability boundary look at facts: undercapitalization, commingling, and treating the company as a personal wallet. Missing minutes can be one of those facts. Keeping minutes is not a guarantee the veil holds.

Creytix Tax ships a questionnaire-customized minutes worksheet. An attorney reviews it. Creytix Sign issues it later. Wave 0 does not e-file the worksheet with any Secretary of State.

Annual reports, franchise tax, and tax returns stay on their own calendars. Minutes do not pay those.
