Corporations

The Michigan Business Corporation Act provides one of the nation’s most comprehensive statutes while providing businesses with a full range of opportunity to function in the corporate form without unnecessary statutory interference. The philosophy of that Corporation Act is broadly permissive while balancing basic protections for shareholders and other involved in the corporate affairs. SMITH & JOHNSON enhances that opportunity by incorporating your business with state of the art Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, issuing stock certificates, obtaining federal tax identification numbers, providing organizational minutes, and annual check-ups. We provide guidance and counsel in setting up your corporation and selecting a name, creating your capital structure, dealing with shareholders, selecting and maintaining quality directors and officers. Our counsel continues over the years, negotiating agreements, amending Bylaws where necessary, advising and assisting with mergers and assets sales, succession planning for family owned businesses, and enabling you to conduct business in other states.
