“The rule requires judicial deference to the business judgment of corporate directors so long as there is no fraud or breach of trust, and no conflict of interest.”55 “Thus, 'when the rule's requirements are met, a court will not substitute its judgment for that of the corporation's board of directors.

For corporations, the state imposes a corporate income tax, a corporate franchise tax, and a personal property replacement tax. For LLCs, the profits are only taxed on the owner's or member's personal taxes (plus the personal property replacement tax).
It is a well-organized and clearly-written statute for business (stock) corporations that covers a number of areas, including formation, governance and director conduct and liability. The MBCA has been influential in shaping standards for United States corporate law.
