§ 12506 Incorporator Amendment Filing

This law says that if the people who start a company want to change its rules before any bosses or members are picked, they have to sign a paper saying so.

Key Takeaways

  • •This only applies if no bosses or members have been picked yet.
  • •Most of the people who started the company must sign the paper.
  • •The paper must say that no bosses or members exist yet.

Example

A group of friends start a small business together but realize they need to change some of the original rules they wrote down.

Since they haven’t picked any bosses or added any new members yet, they all have to sign a paper saying they agree to the changes.
