"You are either recently incorporated or you are in the process of incorporating and you hear the term corporate bylaws. Hello I'm Robert Todd and I'm here to answer the question what are corporate bylaws. Well probably the best definition for that is they are the official game plan on how a corporation is to be run and operated. They differ from the articles of incorporation generally in that they are not filed with the secretary of state's office in the state in which the corporation is incorporated. They typically include provisions about the time and place for meetings of officers, directors, and shareholders. They also discuss how many directors there are going to be, the duration of the terms for the directors and what qualifications the corporation requires for it's board of directors. They also discuss the specific titles and the compensation that will be afforded the officers of the corporation. And that's what corporate by laws are. I'm Robert Todd and thank you for watching."
