I just had a few quick questions for you:
Issue with borrower not paying as agreed.
Startup
Promissory Note
California
Customer:
Issue with borrower not paying as agreed. I loaned money to a start-up company. I bought $50k worth of stock. They reached out to me and offered 30% interest, so I loaned them $200k. At first, they paid but have now stopped. They’re saying that the 30% interest rate is illegal, even though they voluntarily offered it. Now they’re asking me to convert the debt into equity in the company, but I’m not interested. I just want to cash out. Can you help?

It sounds like a complicated and frustrating situation you have. Before I get into specific advice, let me ask a few questions so I can get better information about this:
1. Do you have a signed agreement that includes the loan terms, specifically the 30% interest rate?
2. Have they provided any specific legal basis for claiming the interest rate is illegal?
3. Have they made any partial payments, or have the payments totally stopped?
These details will help me tailor my advice to your situation.

Interested in creating a vehicle lease company in Carlsbad, CA.
I've already purchased $500k worth in electric vehicles but want to ensure I'm caught up with:
- Proper licenses needed to become a Lessor
- Cost of drafting a lease to start leasing out vehicles
- All insurance and liability protections are in place for legal and financial protection
- Amount of cars I can lease out in California as the company grows
The LLC is HQ in Carlsbad, CA.
I believe this is the start of a truly remarkable business and I'm looking for a legal professional to assist as the company expands.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
