Corporate documents

The corporate kit.

The leather-bound binder where every founding document, share certificate, and board record lives. Custom-embossed with your company name. The artifact a founder is glad to keep on the shelf.

Gilt-lettered spines of bound corporate record books.

What it is.

A Corporate Kit is the physical record of your company. Articles of incorporation, operating agreement or bylaws, share certificates, meeting minutes, the embosser seal: everything that proves the company exists and that it has been run properly lives in one place.

The kit is built around a high-quality two-tone textured vinyl binder with a metal triple-ring mechanism. The cover is custom-embossed with your company name and state of incorporation. Available in black, blue, green, brown, or burgundy.

It is the kind of object that ages well. Five years from now, it still looks like it belongs on a partner's shelf.

What's inside.

Every kit ships fully assembled with the standard set of documents. Custom additions can be made on request.

  • Custom-embossed binder cover with company name and state
  • Articles of Incorporation or Articles of Organization
  • Operating Agreement or Corporate Bylaws
  • 20 numbered share certificates (color of your choice)
  • Stock transfer ledger
  • Custom embosser seal with company name and incorporation date
  • Tabbed dividers for minutes, contracts, and amendments

If you have specific clauses, additional partners, or non-standard share classes, we customize the kit to match before it ships.

Why it matters.

Banks, investors, auditors, and acquirers expect to see organized corporate records. When the company is sold, audited, or financed, the first request is always for the corporate book. Without a kit, those documents live in scattered email threads and shared drives, and you spend a week putting them together under deadline.

More than the practical value, the kit is also the moment a company starts feeling like a company. Founders who order one tend to remember the day it arrived.

Questions

Frequently asked

Do I have to have a Corporate Kit?

It is not legally required in any state, but it is strongly recommended. Banks, investors, and auditors expect to see organized corporate records. Without a kit, those records live in scattered email threads and folders.

What colors and finishes are available?

The binder is available in black, blue, green, brown, and burgundy. Share certificates can be ordered in black, blue, or green. The cover is high-quality two-tone textured vinyl with a metal triple-ring mechanism.

Is shipping included in the price?

No. The shipping cost depends on the destination and is calculated separately. We ship internationally.

Can I update the kit later if my company changes?

Yes. The triple-ring mechanism opens fully so you can add amendments, new share certificates, or updated minutes whenever the company evolves.

Does the kit include the company seal?

Yes. A custom embosser with your company name and state of incorporation is included with every kit.
