One major advantage of an S corporation is that it provides owners limited liability protection, regardless of its tax status. Limited liability protection means that the owners' personal assets are shielded from the claims of business creditors—whether the claims arise from contracts or litigation.
Because corporate resolutions are subject to state laws, it's vital that they are legally compliant. You can get started creating your corporate resolution with the help of a qualified attorney. A legal professional can ensure that you include all the necessary components and let you know if you need to make revisions.
Additionally, your S corporation must hold an organizational meeting (initial meeting of directors) where you adopt bylaws and undertake other initial corporate actions (such as appointing officers and approving a resolution to open a business bank account).
Essentially, a board of directors must use a corporate resolution to document all corporate actions, which creates accountability for the board's decisions. A corporate resolution is considered a binding document, so it's stored in the corporate records book after the board members sign it.
C Corporations, C Corporations that elect to be taxed as S Corporations, and other types of corporations use corporate resolutions. Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) or Limited Partnerships might also be required to issue resolutions to record their owners' (members or partners) decisions and actions.
Typically, corporations require these documents when an agreement between the owners and the board may enable business transactions and decisions.
All California S corporations and LLCs companies treated as S corporations for federal, should file Form 100S (California S Corporation Franchise or Income Tax Return).
