What this memorandum documents

Record-keeping practices for this memorandum

Preserve the executed memorandum with evidence of authority, signer activity, and a retention rule tied to its actual business purpose.

Confirm entity authority before sending

Before uploading, confirm the memorandum identifies the corporation or LLC, each counterparty, the effective date, and the person authorized to sign. Compare entity authority against the operating agreement, bylaws, board approval, or applicable state Secretary of State records before routing it for execution.

Export the audit trail with the executed record

Use signNow’s audit trail and certificate of completion with the signed memorandum. Export both records together after completion, restrict editing permissions, and preserve the original PDF so later reviewers can distinguish the executed version from drafts.

Match retention to the record category

Apply a retention rule based on the memorandum’s business purpose, not the signature platform. IRS records generally use IRC §6501(a) periods, while HIPAA-covered records require six years under 45 CFR §164.530(j) when protected health information is involved.

Archive records with controlled access

Store the signed memorandum, audit trail, and related approvals in access-controlled storage. Use Google Drive, Box, Egnyte, or an approved internal repository, and document who may retrieve the record during disputes, audits, or entity governance reviews.

Legal standing of the memorandum

A signed corporation or LLC memorandum can serve as evidence of the parties’ agreement when intent, consent, signer attribution, and record retention are established. ESIGN, 15 U.S.C. chapter 96, and UETA generally recognize electronic signatures, but wills, court orders, and certain family-law documents remain excluded.

Why teams look for DocuSign alternatives

Troubleshooting this memorandum

Use these answers to resolve field, routing, legal-scope, plan, and record-retention questions before relying on an executed memorandum.

Upload the original PDF again and confirm that its pages are readable and not password-protected. signNow’s field-detection step can identify fillable areas, but fields requiring legal judgment should be reviewed and added manually before sending.

Check the recipient email, signer order, and assigned fields before resending. A signNow Business plan includes templates and audit trails, while Business Premium adds bulk send for repeated memoranda. Correct the routing rather than altering the executed document.

Electronic execution generally requires intent, consent, attribution, and a record that can be retained and reproduced. ESIGN, 15 U.S.C. chapter 96, and applicable state law govern; confirm entity-specific requirements with counsel before relying on the memorandum.

Do not use this workflow for wills, codicils, testamentary trusts, court orders, or official court filings. ESIGN excludes those categories, and state procedures may require notarization, witnesses, or in-person submission.

A Business plan includes audit trails, templates, and legally binding eSignatures at $8 per user monthly when billed annually. It includes 100 signature invites per user per year; overage terms should be reviewed before high-volume use.

Export the completed PDF, certificate of completion, and audit trail together. For records containing protected health information, signNow’s HIPAA compliance requires a BAA, while the applicable six-year retention rule comes from 45 CFR §164.530(j).
