Corporate Governance

To improve corporate governance and compliance, entity information and related documents for every client company can be stored in one consolidated system and can be searched and filtered for a single company or across all of your companies. That's why we call it your "online minute book system."

  • Summary corporate governance dashboard
  • Track all entity types
  • States and dates of organization
  • Registered agents and contact information
  • State and Federal registration numbers
  • Officers, directors and committees
  • Global election and retirement
  • Attorneys, paralegals, and company contacts
  • Company logos and pictures of people
  • Foreign qualifications and annual reports
  • Charters, by-laws and other governance documents
  • Board minutes and consents
  • Meeting dates and minute book locations
  • Organization charts for related entities
  • Documents linked to all records
  • Over 200 user defined fields
  • Notes fields with searchable text

Ownership Administration

Stock plan and ownership administration is simplified by tracking all stock and option records, as well as all other types of securities, in a single, consolidated system. Then, all future transactions, such as stock transfers or option exercises, are integrated with the historical information and documents to insure accuracy and increased efficiency.

  • Summary capitalization dashboard
  • Common and convertible preferred stock
  • Stock options and restricted stock
  • Warrants, membership units and other security types
  • Unlimited user-defined vesting schedules
  • Reserved shares management
  • Employee information tracking
  • Detailed tracking of all grant information
  • Signed ownership agreements and notices
  • Wizards for stock transfers
  • Wizards for option exercises and cancellations
  • Automated adjustments for preferred stock conversions
  • Wizards for stock splits and other updates
  • Complete audit trail of user changes
  • All transactions are supported by signed documentation
  • Automated email notifications to the plan administrator
  • Warnings before available shares are exceeded

Compliance Information

As the attention to regulatory and compliance requirements has increased, it is more important than ever that your clients know their contract deadlines, when domain names expire, whether an audit letter response was filed on time, and whether any activities are scheduled in the near future in order to make better decisions and avoid unnecessary risk.

  • Contracts and other agreements
  • Trademarks, copyrights and domain names
  • Other filings: DBA, UCC, SEC, IRS
  • Audit letter tracking
  • Corporate rules and name changes
  • Closing binders online
  • Due date and reminder date tracking
  • Calendar and ledger view
  • Email reminders for date tracking
  • Support for internal controls and SOX

Documents and Reporting

The ultimate output of the system is a complete set of reports that your clients can use to support their governance, compliance, ownership administration, internal controls, and financial disclosures. You can print the reports, email them as PDF files, or export them to Excel spreadsheets.

  • Company summaries
  • Consents of directors and stockholders
  • Annual report tracking
  • Stockholder ledgers
  • Stock option ledgers
  • Option plan summaries
  • Vesting reports
  • Flexible fully diluted capitalization tables
  • Stock certificates

"I've practiced corporate law for 25 years and I've always dreamed of having something like Corporate Focus. It's all here. Everything is thought of. All the problems, all the different types of entities — it's all handled in Corporate Focus and handled well. You don't have to think about it anymore because it's already here."
