S Corp

S corp and corporate restructuring?
I am looking to restructure my business, which is incorporated as an S corp. I am looking for advice on how to best restructure the business to ensure that all legal requirements are met and that the new structure is advantageous for the business. I am considering various options such as merging with another business, changing the ownership structure, or forming a new entity. I am seeking legal advice on the best approach and the potential implications of each option.
Chris J.
Hi: Generally speaking, you have several options (many of which you've identified). 1. You can revoke S-Corp status (if you have a corporation and want C-Corp status). However, revocation won't be effective until the 2024 tax year. With that said, sometimes people inadvertently revoke S-Corp status by taking certain actions (which we can discuss). 2. You can create a new entity and structure it in the way you want (corporation, LLC, partnership, etc.). Then, you can wind down the S-Corp. 3. You can merge your existing S-Corp into an entity and have that entity survive and your S-Corp "merge out" and disappear. The approach that makes the most sense depends upon your business, the assets held by your S-Corp, and your objectives. Best regards, Chris Jackson

Stock purchase agreement and stockholder representation letters?
I am looking to purchase a company and have been presented a stock purchase agreement. I am also required to sign a stockholder representation letter. I am looking for advice on what these documents mean, how they are connected, and what rights and obligations they create for me as a potential buyer.

California
How is management structure set post-formation?
I am in the process of forming a Limited Liability Company (LLC) and I am looking to understand how the management structure will be set up post-formation. I have a business partner who will be a co-owner of the LLC and I am interested in learning the best way to ensure that both of our interests are represented in the management structure. Furthermore, I am interested in learning what type of documentation will be needed to ensure that our management structure is properly set up and in compliance with applicable laws.
Sarah S.
When forming a Limited Liability Company (LLC) with a business partner, it's crucial to establish a clear and effective management structure to represent both of your interests. To do so, you should create an Operating Agreement, a customizable document that outlines the management structure, ownership percentages, and roles and responsibilities of each member. You can choose between a member-managed or manager-managed LLC, depending on your and your partner's roles and preferences. Defining ownership percentages, management responsibilities, voting rights, meeting procedures, and compliance with state laws is essential. Legal counsel should be consulted to draft the Operating Agreement and ensure compliance with specific state regulations, and it's important to regularly review and update the document to adapt to changes as your business evolves.

Asset Purchase Agreement
New York
What should be included in an asset purchase agreement?
I am considering buying a chain of laundry mats and have been told I would need an asset purchase agreement for the legal paperwork involved. I don't believe I want to buy the business, but am not sure. I think I would just want to buy their machines and take over their leases. If this was the case, what would I need to have in an agreement?
Donya G.
Yes, even though you dont intent to buy the entire business but only the machines and take over the leases (which may be allowed under their current lease or your would have to go directly to the landlord if it is not) you would still need an agreement that lays out what you are buying, the cost, what happens if you have a dispute and all the necessary things to protect your rights. I am a NY attorney that specializes in the purchase and sale of business and assets and can assist you with this. You can connect with me through the website at Donya Gordon. Donya Gordon

What happens if I never created an Operating Agreement for my LLC?
I am being told I need an Operating Agreement for a new LLC I started in NY. I want to know what happens if I don't get one.

If you do not create an Operating Agreement, the default rules in your state will apply. Disclaimer - This information is provided for general informational purposes only.

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.
View Trustpilot ReviewI 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.
View Trustpilot ReviewI 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.
