What are the Statutes of a Limited Company?

The statutes of a limited company are a set of rules that are established at the time of incorporating a company. These are internal rules that regulate fundamental aspects of the entity, such as its name, the identification data of the partners, the capital contributed by each of them, the decisions that require a special majority, the distribution of benefits, among others.

In summary, the statutes are the legal framework that governs the operation of the company and establish the basic rules that all partners must follow.

When to use this contract?

These types of contracts must be used from the moment the company is incorporated.
