Corporate Stock Certificates: Create, Replace, or Amend

Create or Amend Corporate Stock Certificates

A stock certificate is a legal document setting forth that you own shares of stock within a corporation. A stock certificate certifies that you are the registered holder of a certain number of shares, transferable only by you, and organized under the laws of the state. It’s typically created with a complex art design to keep them from counterfeit reproduction. You will get stock certificate templates when you incorporate with us or buy a corporate kit. The contents of a stock certificate include:

  • Your Name,
  • Business Name,
  • An Identification Number,
  • Number of Shares you own,
  • Corporate Seal, and
  • Authority Signatures (e.g. President, Treasurer)

Stocks and Stock Certificates

A stock represents how much of the company is yours. If you have a stock, you wield a percentage of the corporation’s assets and profits. The worth of your stock goes up as the business grows, and decreases if the business doesn’t do well and loses value. You can buy as many stocks as the company is willing to distribute—and the more stocks you have, the more of the company you actually own. It doesn’t necessarily mean that you can make decisions on daily company operations, or that you have the right to any of the physical assets the company owns, or that you are personally liable for anything. In that regard, you’re not actually an owner of the company.

Stockerholder Stock Certificates

Stockholders may have the power to cast a vote on major concerns affecting the corporation, such as affairs regarding company assets and mergers. Stockholders may also sell or trade stocks, or keep them and be paid regularly (usually on a quarterly basis) from company profits or reserves. Stockholders may also have the right to review the corporation’s books and records and sue the entity for wrongful actions. Ultimately, stockholder rights may depend on the terms and conditions of the stock certificate. If you own or are starting a business, it would be a very smart move to get a reliable attorney on your side to help you create a stock certificate that’s worth the paper it’s written on.

Corporate Bylaws or LLC Regulations: Replace, Create, or Amend

Corporate Bylaws or LLC Regulations: Replace, Create, or Amend published on

Create or Amend your Corporate Bylaws and LLC Regulations

Corporate Bylaws (also known as LLC Regulations for Limited Liability Companies) dictate the set rules of a corporation. Bylaws are established by the incorporator or the board of directors during the initial process of incorporation. Bylaws direct those in authority in their duties to overlook the corporation. Some of the items or details in the Bylaws include:

  • Company’s Official Name and Address.
  • Company’s Purpose or Mission.
  • Officers’ Titles, Duties, Requirements and Privileges.
  • Meetings; When, Where, and How they’ll be held.
  • Information about Stocks, Shares and their respective holders (if applicable).
  • Record-keeping process and procedures.
  • Amending Procedures.
  • Process of Audits and Inspections.

Establishing, Enforcing and Amending Corporate Bylaws

After writing and establishing your Bylaws, they can be used to direct the way your business is conducted. Also, someone will be appointed to enforce those Bylaws; watchful that everyone is performing their duties according to those Bylaws, and notifying them if they aren’t. Now and then, you should host a meeting to review the Bylaws and amend them if necessary—to meet your company’s needs at the time. Anyone in the company can make suggestions to change a particular element within the Bylaws, but you should state how many people are needed to make an amendment and if an officer is required.

Different types of Bylaws

Every business requires rules and guidelines in which to operate, regardless of type; LLC, Corporations, Non-profits, etc. Other entities have coinciding titles for Bylaws; Partnerships have what is called a partnership agreement, LLC’s write an operating agreement, but the constituents are similar to that of corporate Bylaws. Bylaws are a complicated legal document and not something you should try to do yourself if you aren’t well-versed in its many complexities and implications.

Role of a Registered Agent

The state government requires you to provide someone as a point of contact for your business at all times to accept documents on your behalf. A registered agent is particularly important if you don’t have a physical location in that state since P.O boxes don’t fulfill this requirement. You can’t afford to miss critical information on tax payments or lawsuits concerning your business, either. It is the registered agent’s job to forward court, state, and other official documents to the business entity and notify them immediately.

The Benefits of a Registered Agent:

  • Dodge Fines and Penalties; ensuring you receive official letters in a timely manner.
  • Freedom to be away or unavailable during normal business hours.
  • Privacy and anonymity; public records show the registered agent’s address instead of yours.
  • Peace of mind; not having to be responsible for receiving official mail, staying at business location, or receiving lawsuit or tax documents in front of others.
  • You can change locations without having to file a change of address with the state government.

On the other hand, if you don’t have a registered agent (which is required by most states), it might cause you to drop out of “good standing” with the state, which may result in the loss of your business license, among other fines and penalties.

Requirements of a Registered Agent Service

The registered agent of your choice must have a physical street address (no P.O. boxes) and availability at that address during normal business hours. Ideally, you want a registered agent solution that is reputable and responsible for getting documents into your hands promptly to avoid state and court sanctions, default lawsuits, and judgments, among other fines and penalties.

Attorney Registered Agent Services

At Spiegel & Utrera, P.A., we provide Registered Agent Solutions with Attorney Client Privilege. You know that Spiegel & Utrera, P.A. offers complete business formation services, years of experience that can’t be matched by many and of course the best price out there! But maybe the most important reason is, the Attorney-Client Privilege in effect:

This means that if you receive a subpoena to produce information about your corporation, LLC, Partnership or Trust because of alimony, child support, bankruptcy, debt collection, foreclosure, IRS, tax collection, government enforcement action, criminal matter or anything else, Spiegel & Utrera, P.A. is duty-bound NOT TO DISCLOSE any information contained in any client communications whether oral or written. This is a powerful legal precedent to have to work for you and you can only obtain it from a lawyer. A non-lawyer Registered Agent or Registered Office service does not offer this valuable confidentiality protection.
