ABSTRACT

RAPIDS was formed as a subchapter S corporation. The company abides by the highest ethical principles and ensures that all employees maintain these high standards. RAPIDS’s policies are all based on Christian principles. The company relies on a corps of legally-astute managers that use their understanding of the law to successfully guide RAPIDS through a complicated legal business environment.
