Idaho has a specific checklist that needs to be considered at a preliminary meeting of organizers of a corporation. This checklist includes various matters that should be discussed and recorded in the minutes of the meeting. The checklist ensures that all important aspects of organizing a corporation are addressed and documented. Here are some key considerations that should be included in the minutes of such a meeting: 1. Corporation Name and Type: First and foremost, the organizers should discuss and agree upon the name of the corporation. They should also determine the type of corporation, such as a C corporation, S corporation, or non-profit corporation. 2. Registered Office and Registered Agent: The meeting should cover the selection of a registered office, which is the official address where the corporation will receive legal notices. Additionally, the appointment of a registered agent, who will be responsible for accepting legal documents on behalf of the corporation, should be addressed. 3. Principal Place of Business: The organizers should determine the principal place of business for the corporation, which is the main location for conducting business activities. 4. Incorporates and Directors: The individuals responsible for incorporating the corporation, known as incorporates, should be identified. Furthermore, the initial directors of the corporation should be appointed during this meeting. 5. Articles of Incorporation: The meeting should outline the preparation and filing of the articles of incorporation with the Idaho Secretary of State. This document establishes the existence of the corporation and provides essential information about its purpose, duration, and structure. 6. Share Structure: The organizers should discuss the authorized capital stock of the corporation, including the number of shares to be issued and their par value, if applicable. 7. Bylaws: The bylaws, which define the internal rules and regulations of the corporation, should be drafted and approved during this meeting. 8. Officers and Their Powers: The organizers need to determine the officers of the corporation, such as the president, secretary, and treasurer, and discuss their roles and responsibilities. 9. Initial Shareholders' Meeting: The date and time for the initial shareholders' meeting should be decided in order to elect directors, ratify bylaws, and conduct any other necessary business. It's important to note that this checklist might differ depending on the specific type of corporation being formed. For instance, non-profit corporations might have additional considerations such as obtaining tax-exempt status. Additionally, different industries or business models may have unique requirements that should be addressed in the preliminary meeting and included in the minutes.
