Blumberg Ex Libris All-in-One LLC Kit with Self-Enclosed Records Book, Company Seal, Printed Certificates with Full-Page Stubs, Blank Minute Paper (Model K10LLC for Limited Liability Corporations)

I have used this corporate set for years. A very nice set and everything in one place.

Very nice kit. Suits needs perfectly and came much faster than books I have ordered in past.

Cheap vinyl. Paper OK at best, Corporate Seal did not work. Plates were-misaligned. I had to buy another embosser from a different company

In 1981, my father received an Ex Libris kit as part of the incorporation of his business. A young, geeky, teenage me rummaged through it eagerly in an attempt to educate myself a little about business and a little about corporate law. In that Ex Libris kit was a treasure trove of materials - "fill in the blank" governance documents, a record tickler, a corporate seal, share certificates, comprehensive meeting minutes templates, and a set of instructions so clear that my father let me - at age 13 - act as corporate secretary. Flash forward to 2021. I now have several business entities of my own, some corporations, some LLC's. Finding the Ex Libris kits and binder (as a stand alone item) here on Amazon, I was thrilled, quickly ordering a few binders for some uses; not needing the kits due to already having started their documentation trail. The binders are terrific, and today the ones I've bought thus far sit side-by-side with my father's from 1981 here on my bookshelf. In December, however, I needed to organize a new LLC on short notice. I decided, more out of nostalgia and curiosity than anything, to buy the full Ex Libris LLC kit. The result, unfortunately, was a little disappointing in a few respects. What I essentially received was the custom-stenciled binder, a set of customized LLC membership certificates, 50 or so blank sheets of paper of slightly better grade than you'd find in a ream at your nearby Staples, and some index tabs with headings pertinent to LLC's (e.g., "Operating Agreement," "Minutes," etc.) No hard copy templates of the type of documents I'd encountered with the 1981 corporation kit were included, but documentation is provided... well, sort of. But rather than in hard copy format it now comes in the form of a series of .PDF's, each comprising a different LLC Operating Agreement template which may (or may not) be suitable to your company's needs. This would have been great save one minor but salient detail: while the membership certificates provided as part of the kit explicitly reference and certify ownership of "membership units" (the LLC equivalent of shares), none of the several .PDF template Operating Agreements do; each instead references percentage of ownership interest in the Company, with no mention of membership units at all. This, unfortunately, renders one... or the other... worthless to someone relying on an Ex Libris kit to provide a simple, "fill in the template blanks" solution. While thanks to 40+ years of exposure to them I still regard the Ex Libris binders as an attractive solution for housing important documents of virtually any sort, I'm afraid I can't recommend the full corporate kit, particularly if you're organizing an LLC. Buy the binder here, from Blumberg, as a stand alone item for half the price; have your legal counsel draft your company's operating agreement so that it's custom to your environment; and if you need certificates evidencing ownership? Consider Blumberg, or any of the myriad options for custom LLC certificates that are out there.

The. company misspelled the corporation name

The cover is a little cheesy, I was hoping for something better made for the price but everyone seems to charge the same

The overall product is nice, however, the seal didn’t work because the ink was old and dried out! Definitely need to rethink the packing on the seal. Clearly they used the seal web the seal was fresh to show that it would emboss correct but nope…didn’t work!
