info@kowtunlaw.comCorporation Formation: Establishing a Formal Structure for Growth
For businesses planning significant capital investment, planning a high-growth trajectory, or requiring the most rigid separation between ownership and management, the corporation remains the ideal legal structure. Corporations offer the strongest liability shield available and are the required framework for companies that plan to raise capital by issuing stock.
We guide clients through the complexities of corporate structure, ensuring compliance with state and federal regulations while setting a clear foundation for future governance and investment.
Our Approach to Forming Your Company
We ensure that the formalities required of a corporation are correctly established from the outset. We help our clients by creating:
- Certificate of Formation: The foundational document filed with the Texas Secretary of State to create your business.
- Corporate Bylaws: The internal rules defining the corporation’s daily operations, including director & officer roles, and meeting rules for shareholders.
- Initial Corporate Resolutions: The first legal actions taken by the directors or shareholders (such as electing officers, issuing initial shares, and adopting the bylaws).
- Stock Issuance & Records: Proper documentation of all stock certificates and shareholder agreements.
