Items Contained In A Standard Corporate Kit

By Eunice Pugh


Standard corporate kit should contain seal, copy of stock certificates, company's minute book, sample of rules and regulations and share transfer ledger. It is an important folder when it comes to forming a business because of invaluable content it contains. There are many suppliers who are authorized to supply a firm with a customized folder upon receiving your details.

The seal is an integral tool used to give an impression of your company on a official documents. The seal is taken to be equivalent of a signature embedded by an individual for and on behalf of the firm. The seal should be made out of durable material that not only lessens the pressure but should go for the long haul without having to be repaired or replaced.

Share or stock certificates are documents issued to shareholders acknowledging that they do own a part of the company but only to some extent. They usually show the number of shares on has purchased and it is through them that they get to share in the profits of the firm. They come in different formats the normal certificates and the bearer stocks.

The minute book is formed when a company is created for the first time. It holds the minutes of annual meetings since a corporation is required to meet at least once per year. In addition the decisions or resolutions that executives have set in place are printed to this book.

By-laws are an integral part of the kit. They define the management structure of the firm as well as clearly spell duties of each officer. They provide a definition of posts within the firm and relationships it has with its internal and external entities that are involved in the day to day running of company.

Included in the corporate kit is a binder contract which is a legally binding document in case of a sellout. It stipulates the ground rules for fair negotiation and also mentions the minimum deposit which a buyer has to make. In most cases if the buyer is to withdraw from the negotiations after signing this contract they forfeit the said deposit and have no legal claim to it.
