    Ongoing formalities made easy

    While C corporations and S corporations face the strictest ongoing formalities, limited liability companies (LLCs), limited partnerships (LPs), limited liability partnerships (LLPs) and nonprofits should also take steps to protect their entity status. A Compliance Kit & Seal includes items to make this process easy.

    Why it’s important

    Below is a list of ongoing formalities that corporations must follow and that are also recommended for LLCs, LPs and LLPs. The Compliance Kit & Seal can assist with each of these.

    • Create and regularly update bylaws (corporations), an operating agreement (LLCs), or a partnership agreement (LPs/LLPs).
    • Hold and properly document an initial meeting of directors (corporations), shareholders (corporations), members/managers (LLCs), or partners (LPs/LLPs).
    • Hold and properly document annual meetings of directors (corporations), shareholders (corporations), members/managers (LLCs), or partners (LPs/LLPs).
    • Issue ownership certificates (stock certificates, membership certificates or partnership certificates) to all owners.
    • Record any changes in percentage of ownership, any new owners added, etc. in a stock (corporations), membership interest (LLC), or partnership interest (LPs/LLPs) in a transfer ledger.

    Features & benefits

    Our Compliance Kit & Seal includes:

    • Customized binder. A professional binder enclosed in a matching slip-case and customized with your company's name on the spine.
    • Seal. A hand-held corporate/LLC/partnership seal used for stamping documents with your company’s name, state and year of incorporation.
    • Ownership certificates. 10 custom, numbered, stock (corporations), membership (LLCs) or partnership (LPs/LLPs) certificates printed with your company’s name to designate ownership interest in the company.
    • Ownership transfer ledger. A stock/membership interest/partnership interest transfer ledger to keep accurate records of ownership amount information.
    • Digital Download: Sample internal governance documents. Sample bylaws (corporation), operating agreement (LLCs), or partnership agreement (LPs/LLPs), which outlines how the company will be managed and will address certain situations. Delivered via e-mail.

    Key Benefits

    Small business owners often have little time to dedicate to ongoing formalities and to undertake compliance events. The Compliance Kit & Seal not only makes this process easier, but also provides the vehicle for storing your records.

    Business Compliance Requirements & Consequences 

    Keep in Mind

    A number of corporate compliance events are required shortly after incorporating a business, such as holding the initial meeting of directors, adopting bylaws and issuing stock. LLCs, LPs, and LLPs are also encouraged to adopt an operating or partnership agreement and issue ownership interest.

    Steps to Take After Incorporation
    • What is the Compliance Kit & Seal and what does it include?
      A Compliance Kit is a binder with essential items for routine corporation, limited liability company (LLC), limited partnership (LP) or limited liability partnership (LLP) maintenance and administration. The contents of the Compliance Kit & Seal vary slightly by your business type, but include:
      • A binder customized with your company name
      • A corporate/LLC/partnership seal used to stamp documents to signify their authenticity
      • 10 custom stock/membership/partnership certificates to signify ownership in your company
      • A stock/membership/partnership transfer ledger to record changes the number of shares of stock or membership or partnership interest in your company
      • Sample documents, such as minutes, resolutions and bylaws/operating agreement/partnership agreement
    • Can I purchase a Compliance Seal separately?
      A custom, hand-held seal is included in our Compliance Kit & Seal, but you can purchase it as a stand-alone item ($40) if desired.
    • Why would I need a Compliance Seal?
      A Compliance Seal for corporations, LLCs or partnerships is often used to stamp or imprint documents to signify them as official company documents. A Compliance Seal is often used when distributing stock, authenticating internal documents or conducting other company business, and may be required when opening a bank account for your company.
    • How is the Compliance Seal used?
      The Compliance Seal for corporations, LLCs or partnerships is a hand-held embossing tool that you can use to mark your important business documents with your company name, state and year of incorporation to signify their authenticity.
    • Can I purchase Ownership Certificates separately?
      Our Compliance Kit & Seal includes 10 customized ownership certificates for your business type, but yes, you can purchase Ownership Certificates separately. See our Ownership Certificates page for more information.
