The Mystery of Formation Documents | Biggest Business FAIL | Glitch 12

The Mystery of Formation Documents. We saw hundreds (maybe even thousands) of business owners scramble for proof of their business when they were applying for a business loan or a disaster loan during COVID.

❓Do you know where all of your formation documents are?

Category: Business Structure

Sometimes, important business documents are in paper format and sometimes, they're in digital format. Collect them now if you don't have them handy. Example of documents:

✅ IRS SS4 Letter
✅ IRS Filing receipt
✅ Articles of Incorporation
✅ Bylaws
✅ Shareholder agreement

🎯 Goal: Review where all of your formation documents are, whether they're original documents (paper format) or digital.

Are they backed up? Ensure all contact information is updated and consistent on all forms.

🚧 Actionable item: Locate and organize all formation documents into a properly labeled folder and double-check that all contact information is consistent and updated everywhere necessary.
