Does keeping your corporate minute book complete and up-to-date seem relatively unimportant and all too easy to overlook? If so, you may be at risk and not even know it.

The fact is, if you fail to document your corporation's activities, you increase the odds that a plaintiff attorney can "pierce your corporate veil" should your business become the target of a lawsuit. And even if you're never sued, it just makes good business sense to keep your company's record book in order and up-to-date.
