At the launch of your corporation, you’ll want to hold your first meeting with the people involved in your incorporation process.  Now is the time to issue your corporate stock and elect the board of directors and officers within the corporation.

 You can set up the basic structure of the corporation’s benefit plan, such as medical and retirement options, vacation time, and other details that will affect your employees.

 Have your stock certificates, tax forms, and other paperwork ready so that whoever needs to sign it or be aware of it can do so at that time.  And for all meetings, you must have your minutes book available and filled out for full compliance.  We’ll explain the minutes book shortly.

 The corporate organizational meeting will usually include the actions listed below and use certain forms.  First, you’ll sign and date the Waiver of Notice of the Organizational Meeting form.  It looks something like this:
WAIVER OF NOTICE OF THE ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING OF
