Company incorporation
Signing the bylaws is the moment a company is legally incorporated. It becomes an officially recognized entity, with its own name and the capacity to operate, sign contracts and take on obligations. The bylaws are the company’s DNA: they set out the board, the capital stock, the term, the contributions and the powers granted. They also establish what happens on dissolution.
