Corporate Signature

Signing your name when you enter into any business transaction may sound simple but when you are operating as an Limited Liability Company or Corporation it is the most common mistake people make. The corporation does not sign anything - not contracts, purchase orders, agreements , leases, etc. without an authorized officer of the corporation signing on behalf of it. The public needs to know if the signature on the document is that of individual representing himself or if the signature is signed on behalf of a corporation. So when you sign anything and your intent is that you are representing the corporation it is imperative that you place your corporate title after your name.
