# Corporate Bylaws
Corporate Bylaws are the internal rules governing how a corporation operates. They define the roles and responsibilities of directors and officers, meeting procedures, voting requirements, stock issuance rules, and amendment processes. Bylaws are adopted by the board of directors and are not filed with the state.
Bylaws are to corporations what Operating Agreements are to LLCs — the internal governance document. Investors and banks routinely request copies during due diligence, so they must be properly drafted and maintained.
Lovie's C-Corp formation package includes professionally drafted bylaws that meet investor expectations and Delaware/Wyoming corporate law requirements.
