How to set up an LLC?
I am a budding entrepreneur looking to start my own business. I understand that forming a Limited Liability Company (LLC) is a great way to protect my personal assets and manage my business operations. I have done some research on the process, but I am looking to get the best legal advice on how to set up my LLC properly.
Daniel D.
This is a great question to ask. The first step is to register your business with the Florida Department of State on Sunbiz; that will get you legally set up to get rolling. The second step to setting up your LLC properly is to adopt an operating agreement. This agreement tells how the business will run, how it will handle new members and the powers that existing members and/or managers will have amongst other important paragraphs to have. You can be creative as you want with an operating agreement. Before you adopt your operating agreement you should consider topics like: do i want it to be run by members or managers; do i plan on having partners in the future or now; am I going to look for investors at some point? These questions can help you draft an operating agreement that will suit your needs as a business owner and show others that you were strategic in thinking of the future. You can also use an operating agreement for business succession planning incase you are incapacitated or die.

LLC and member meetings?
I am considering forming a limited liability company (LLC) with a few other partners. We are looking to have a clear understanding of the expectations for LLC and member meetings, including the frequency and formality of such meetings. We also want to make sure all members are held accountable for their actions and that our rights and responsibilities are clearly outlined.
Daniel D.
In Florida, LLCs are not required to have annual meetings of the members and/or managers. However, your operating agreement would lay out different circumstances when the members and/or managers must meet to make important company decisions. You can draft the operating agreement to give you and your partners greater flexibility as to when and why a meeting is required, for example, hiring a new officer, spending over a certain amount of money, admitting a new member or removing a member. If you do not have an operating agreement in place, then the default is the FRLLCA. However, holding meetings of the members and/or managers is a good way to increase your liability protection. Even if the formalities are not required by law, abiding by them can help bolster your corporate veil and it will also add value down the road to your business when you or your partners sell. To hold a meeting, you would need to notice all the members, hold the meeting, record the minutes of the meeting and then draft and execute any resolutions that were voted on at the meeting. If all members are going to vote unanimously, you could use a "Consent in lieu of meeting" to be drafted that records the vote and decision of the members, which all voting members should sign. It is important that your operating agreement is well drafted.

Transfer Ownership to another person
Hi, I am EU national from Lithuania and we opened a company with a partner in US. Our initial agreement with that person, was, that he handles US operations and keeps part of the company. However, legally it is registered as LLC in Minnesota under his name. At this stage, turnovers are growing and we would like to transfer ownership (I think selling the company) to me and keep him as a Director in that company. This LLC is operating from 2019. We would like to know, is it possible to do it without physically traveling to US? What tax implications will be? Also will it be possible to buy this company at low cost? Company has a lot of inventory, but at the same time high debt with suppliers. At the moment, equity is about 2k and vendor debts - inventory/customer debts/cash approximately 280k. Thank you for your help!
Jaren J.
The transfer of LLC member interests are done via written agreements signed by all parties. They are internal to the company and not recorded anywhere. You don't need to be in the US to accomplish the transfer. Depending on how the transfer is done, there shouldn't be any tax implications.

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
View Trustpilot ReviewContracts 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.
