LLC Operating Agreement
California
LLC and capital structure?
I am the founder and owner of a small business that is in the process of transitioning to an LLC. I am interested in understanding the capital structure of an LLC and how it differs from that of a sole proprietorship. I am looking for advice on how to ensure that my business is properly capitalized and structured in order to maximize its potential for success.
Russell M.
Well, putting aside the very important detail that an LLC offers limitation of liability and a sole proprietorship does not, the difference between a sole proprietorship and an LLC is that you can allocate the profits to others through membership interests. This means you can bring on one or more investors and allocate the capital appreciation, profit and cash flow to the investors with the same or different terms from your interest, and that you can share profits with employees through a "profits interest". There is a great deal of flexibility that you can use through a properly drafted operating agreement.

LLC Operating Agreement
California
Can an LLC operating agreement be modified without the unanimous consent of all members?
I am a member of an LLC and we currently have an operating agreement in place that outlines the rights and responsibilities of each member. However, there have been some changes in the business and I believe that certain provisions of the operating agreement need to be modified in order to better reflect our current needs and goals. Some members are resistant to these changes and I would like to know if it is possible to modify the operating agreement without obtaining unanimous consent from all members, and if so, what steps need to be taken to make these modifications legally binding.
Dolan W.
Hello! My name is Dolan and I'm happy to help. Generally, an agreement can't be modified without the consent of the parties involved and additional consideration included (e.g. something in exchange). Whether the operating agreement can be changed depends on the terms itself. The parties can agree that only a majority vote is needed or may require a unanimous agreement for something like this. We can review the operating agreement for you and let you know what your rights are and offer some advice. Best of luck!

Partnership Agreement
California
How to dissolve a partnership agreement?
I want to get out of a partnership we have with another business where we are sharing profits from products we're selling. It isn't working out and the other party isn't living up to their obligations based on what we initially discuss.
Michael M.
Usually, partnership agreements have a termination provision which addresses when and how the partnership can be terminated. Typically, termination occurs upon the vote of the partners or upon the occurrence of an event or number of years.

Demand Letter For Payment
California
HI, being a freelancer and independent contractor( 1099) in CA, can I send a collections notice for non payment to client?
I am an independent contractor and freelancer in San Diego, California. I am a sole proprietor who offers training and consulting services. I use a contract agreement with my clients. Even after signing my contract, this client is unwilling to compensate me for the hours I spent working on his project. I would like to send this client a collections notice for non-payment. I would appreciate knowing the process. Thanks in advance
Matthew S.
Yes, you can send such a notice for nonpayment. I would send one in the form of a demand letter.
Business
Option Grant Agreement
California
What is 'strike price' in my employee stock option agreement?
Want to learn more about the agreement that is being presented to me. There is a 'strike price' that I am suppose to pay?
Michael M.
The strike price is defined as the price that the employee can exercise his/her options at. For example, if the strike price is $1.00, at the point the 100s options have vested, the aggregate amount owed to exercise would be $100.00
