Corporate Kits:  
The Federal Government requires that each Corporation must keep a current record of its meetings and shareholder information. In addition, maintaining a Corporate kit for a Corporation and a Limited Liability Company helps keep the "Corporate Veil" in place. A Corporate kit keeps these records in one convenient, organized and professional unit. We provide Corporate Kits for new and existing companies filed in any of the fifty states for Corporations (profit, non-profit, closed and professional), Limited Liability Companies, Limited Liability Partnerships, Limited Partnerships and General Partnerships.
