General partnerships are businesses with two or more owners that share profits and personal liability for the business they own. A partnership does not require you to register your business with the state.
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.
Unlike sole proprietorships, a corporation can be owned by multiple people.
Furthermore, it must be established by at least five individuals known as incorporators. A corporation's ownership is divided into stock shares.
Bylaws are not required, but they can help define the organization and its governance structure.
