Prepare French SCI meeting minutes
Minutes for a French SCI must record a decision that actually took place under the company’s articles. Prepare the participants, proxies, shareholdings and resolution text, then reconcile them with the votes cast. Arithmetic totals do not establish that a legal majority was reached. This organiser checks the record’s consistency without inventing a meeting or certifying its decisions.
