No one likes unnecessary meetings, but some states require a minimum number of founder or board meetings based on how your business is structured.

Brett is an absolute fan of informal meetings to sync up with your founders, but agreeing to convene and agree on every little issue can actually be a liability to you and your business, not to mention turn decision-making a slog when it needs to be streamlined.

In this week's video, Brett answers one of the most common questions he receives regarding annual meetings for LLCs and corporations. This concern is anchored in the fear of courts piercing the corporate veil, but as you'll see, that's much less of a concern than other, lesser thought-about risks.

Take a look a the short video below and let us know what you think.

This is the 14th video in Brett's Business Partnership Mastery Series, where he dives into both the philosophy and legal nuts and bolts of mastering business partnerships. If you are a current or future business owner, you will definitely want to stay tuned for videos in this upcoming series, so make sure to subscribe!

Inspired by the content in his book, Partner-Proofing Your Partnership, Brett will touch and expand on the primary concepts he fleshed out in that short read which you can find here:
