The articles include the designation of an Agent for Service of Process and a statement indicating whether the LLC will be managed by one manager or more than one manager or the members of the LLC. The articles may include a date on which the company is to dissolve.

This is a Bill of Sale used to transfer assets to a partnership in exchange for a partnership interest. Partners often transfer assets in lieu of, or in addition to, cash contributions, in return for an interest in the partnership. However, please note that appropriate title transfer documents may also need to be prepared and submitted to the appropriate governmental entity if title to any of the property is maintained on record with that entity (for instance, DMV records of vehicle ownership, etc.). Also, consult an account regarding the tax implications of transferring assets to a partnership in exchange for a partnership interest, whether such transfer qualifies as a tax free transfer or otherwise.

9 Bylaws
While there is only one instance where it is required by law that a corporation adopts corporate bylaws, virtually all corporations adopt them. They are essentially the game plan of the corporation. The exception to the general rule that bylaws are not a legal requirement is when the number of directors is not stated in the articles of incorporation. If the number of directors are not specified in the articles of incorporation then bylaws must be adopted specifying that number of directors for the corporation.
Bylaws serve several useful functions. They provide the rules and regulations for corporate governance as well as the governance of shareholders, officers and directors of the corporation. Bylaws also restate a lot of the state statutory rules, procedures and standards relating to corporate governance and may alter those statutory standards which are variable.

10 Action Without Meeting of Directors
It is the responsibility of the initial directors to complete the corporate organization. For example, electing the corporate officers, approving the form of share certificate and corporate seal if desired, authorizing the corporation's banks which will be used, and authorized issuance of the corporation's shares and any debt securities etc.
Any action required or permitted to be taken by the board of directors, including actions required to be taken at the organizational meeting, may be taken without a formal meeting if all board members sign a written consent. Use this form in lieu of a formal meeting to approve the bylaws and be sure to file with the corporate minutes.
