How important is compliance? |
Your corporation must take care of certain compliance issues at set up and throughout each year (i.e. adopt company bylaws, document meetings, issue stock, etc.). Failure to act will make your corporation non compliant.

Is Your Corporation Compliant?
Even attorneys forget compliance |

Falcone v. Night Watchman, Inc., et. al. - Mr. Rozbicki was a practicing lawyer and sole stockholder of a corporation that owned a restaurant. Its chef ordered fruits and produce on a daily basis from Mr. Falcone. The restaurant failed to pay Mr. Falcone for the goods it received and he sued the corporation and Rozbicki individually. The Appellate Court of Connecticut pierced the corporation's veil and held Rozbicki personally liable for his corporate debts because,
 |
-
There were no minutes kept of corporate meetings,
-
No loans were documented,
-
No proper records were kept of corporate funds until after the litigation arose.
|
In other words, there was no legal distinction between Mr. Rozbicki and his corporation. Also, Mr. Rozbicki should have known better since he was an attorney. |
