It is no longer "okay" to open accounts for non-documented businesses. When you open a commercial account you should verify this is a legal business and who is authorized to transact business on behalf of that entity. In this two hour Webinar, we will investigate the types of business entities available in most states and who that "authority" person is to open the account and sign the resolutions.

It is highly recommended you have a copy of your financial institution's account agreement and resolutions nearby to follow along during the session. To customize it to your state law, you may also want to access your Secretary of State website to access information on forming business structures in your home state.

This is Part 2 of a two part series. The first session is being held on September 3. You can attend both sessions or just one.Click here for details on Part 1.
