As a Tampa Corporate Lawyer I use this form for my clients. There are many advantages in doing so. Under the Florida Business Corporation Act (the “Act”), directors and shareholders or both can take any action required or permitted by the Act without a meeting.
To do this, just circulate written consents to be executed by each director or, in the case of shareholders, by a majority of shareholders entitled to vote. You can have your Tampa Corporate Lawyer structure this for you and draft more complex resolutions. Also, if there is a related party transaction, you may want to consult your Tampa Corporate Lawyer for advice.
For closely held corporations or S-corporations this can be an efficient way of taking action and keeping record of action without the lumbering process of scheduling a meeting, sending formal notice, and taking lengthy minutes. Speak with your Tampa Corporate Lawyer for more details.
This is available for your your LLC also.
