(b) Upon completion of the examination, and if it appears to the Commissioner that the whole of the required capital deposits has been paid in, the Commissioner shall issue a certificate under seal authorizing the financial institution to commence business, and this certificate shall be filed with the Secretary of State. In the case of a violation of this provision, the officers and directors assenting to the activity shall be personally liable for all debts incurred before the certificate is issued and filed.
