Corporate Bylaws Template - Massachusetts

To define the purpose of your business and specify its goals and aspirations, you need to create Massachusetts Corporate Bylaws to comply with the local laws. There is no legal requirement to file the bylaws with any authority to let them know how you conduct your business affairs; however, a set of rules that explains how your company is run may be useful when you negotiate an agreement with a prospective business partner or a financial organization that will provide you with a loan.

Every company is free to include any provisions in this document but at a minimum, bylaws include the name and the location of the headquarters in case there are multiple offices, the reasons behind incorporating an entity, the objectives of the company, the process of making changes to the main documents of the business, and the description of the stock offered by the organization. If you ever encounter a need to resolve a conflict of interest or any of the managers does not know the chain of command, you will be able to refer to the bylaws to handle the issue.
