Operations of the Company Clause Samples
The "Operations of the Company" clause defines how the day-to-day business activities and management of the company are to be conducted. It typically outlines the roles and responsibilities of managers or officers, the procedures for making operational decisions, and any limitations on authority. For example, it may specify who can enter into contracts, approve expenditures, or hire employees on behalf of the company. This clause ensures that there is a clear framework for running the company efficiently and helps prevent disputes by delineating operational authority and processes.
