Previously in this blog we showcased Lafayette, Indiana and Indianapolis, Indiana as fast growing hubs for new startup ideas. Another city that may not always come to mind when thinking of a new startup hub, is Lansing, Michigan. Like Lafayette, Lansing hosts a Big Ten school that has recently put a strong emphasis on entrepreneurship, both for its students and the community as a whole. 

When dealing with smaller corporations owners/shareholders often have a more involved role in a business. Just because they are an owner, however, does not mean they have unlimited all inclusive access to the records of the corporation.  Indiana law requires that a corporation keep and maintain certain records. Shareholders of a corporation are entitled to inspect and copy these records, but only under certain circumstances.  The records are broken down into two groups, notice only and proper purpose.
