The Delaware corporate code covers most of the topics normally addressed in the Bylaws. Therefore, if the Certificate of Incorporation sets forth the authorized number of directors there is no legal requirement that a corporation have bylaws.
Corporate bylaws are a company's foundational governing document. They lay out how things should run day-to-day and the processes for making important decisions. They serve as a legal contract between the corporation and its shareholders, directors, and officers and set the protocol for how the organization operates.
In a corporate setting, ordinary income comes from regular day-to-day business operations, excluding income gained from selling capital assets.
If you work for yourself — either full-time or part-time — report your income and expenses on Schedule C.
A corporation must have at least three officers (President, Secretary, and Treasurer), at least one Director, and is owned by shareholders, which may be individuals or other business entities.
In order to amend the bylaws, a member must make a motion and present the amendment during a regularly scheduled meeting of the Board. The motion to amend the bylaws must be approved by a supermajority vote of the full Board at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Board.
