Study Notes

Legal Environment of Business - BLAW110, Business Organizations II

Corporations are separate legal entities from their owners.
Corporations are formed by adopting bylaws, not partnership agreements.
Formation process includes: filing articles with the Secretary of State, obtaining an EIN from the IRS, filing a statement of information with the SOS, optionally filing an S-Corporation election with the IRS, and entering into contracts to start operating.
Corporations enjoy the same legal rights and responsibilities as individuals.
Corporate owners and employees are not personally liable for corporate debts, except in cases of fraud.
Corporations are subject to double taxation: first on corporate profits and again on employee salaries.
An alternative to C-Corp taxation is S-Corp, which is taxed like partnerships (pass-through tax) with limitations regarding shareholders.
Directors represent the board and establish the corporation's strategy; elected by shareholders.
Officers (President, VP, CFO) are the daily employees of the corporation.
Directors and officers are not liable for actions taken within the scope of their employment unless there's a breach of fiduciary duty.
Corporations raise capital through debt and/or equity financing.
Debt financing allows the corporation to retain ownership but obligates the repayment of principal and interest.
Equity financing involves shareholders owning a portion of the company via purchasing stock.
Shares of stock have voting rights and dividend eligibility, both of which are discretionary and outlined in the articles of incorporation.
Shareholders are not personally liable for the corporation's debts.
They can enter into shareholder agreements, sue the corporation, and be sued.
Drag-along and tag-along rights provide options for shareholders if a majority stake in the corporation is sold.
Vesting schedules determine how shareholder participation grows over a period.
Financing methods include external ventures (Venture Capital, Private Equity), and private funding (Crowdfunding).
Crowdfunding platforms (Kickstarter, IndieGoGo, GoFundMe) utilize donation and equity-based models.
Directors have annual meeting obligations where each director has one vote on decisions.
Absentees can authorize proxies to represent them.
Directors have the right to review company books and records.
Indemnification protects directors and officers from legal costs and judgments related to their corporate activities.
Officers and directors have fiduciary duties, care, and loyalty to the corporation.
Duty of care means acting in good faith and in the best interest of the corporation.
Duty of loyalty implies prioritizing the corporation's interests above personal interests.
Directors and officers are protected from liability under the business judgment rule if they took reasonable steps to be informed about the issue, had a rational basis for decisions, and did not have any conflicts of interest.
Shareholders have the power to vote on amendments and the election of directors.
They can buy and sell stock without external approval, they receive dividends, and can review corporate documents, and have the right to sue if the corporation/directors/officers act wrongfully.
Shareholders can initiate lawsuits directly against the corporation or derivatively on behalf of the corporation against a third party.
Lawsuits need to be preceded by written demand to the corporation before bringing a suit.
Close corporations have fewer than 35 shareholders and are not publicly traded.
Directors and officers in close corporations have a fiduciary duty not to act oppressively towards minority shareholders.
In-class exercise involves searching for California corporations through a provided online resource and collecting specified data.
