What belongs in a corporate minute book?

General information only—not legal advice.

A corporate minute book commonly contains constating documents, organizational resolutions, shareholder and director records, securities registers, annual resolutions and documents recording later corporate changes. The exact records required depend on the corporation and applicable law.

Why records matter

Accurate records help owners, accountants and legal professionals understand the corporation's current status and history. They can also reduce delays when banking, tax-planning, financing or transaction work arises.

Getting assistance

Simply Legal can assist with administrative support, record organization and routine corporate maintenance. Legal advice and transactions requiring licensed judgment should be handled or reviewed by a lawyer or licensed paralegal.
