Business Legal Questions and Answers

LLC Operating Agreement
Idaho
Who do I submit my operating agreement to?
I understand that for a LLC for rental property, liabilty protection, an operating agreement is good. However, once this is completed, what do you do with the agreement to ensure your protected? Does it get filed with the State of the LLC or is it something that can just be filed away at home. It seems it would need to be filed or someone could just change the agreement at home dependent on any situation that came up to protect themselves better which seem like fraud.
T. Phillip B.
The operating agreement is just one of the many things you need to do to show that you are treating this LLC as separate from you personally. With that being said, you will put the operating agreement into a records books with other things like your articles of organization, other government filings, membership ledger, etc. Then keep it at the primary place of business.

Joint Venture Contract
Texas
Any tax benefits of a joint venture?
I am currently exploring the possibility of forming a joint venture with another company to pursue a business opportunity. While I am aware of the potential benefits of sharing resources and expertise with another company, I am also interested in understanding if there are any tax advantages to forming a joint venture. Therefore, I would like to seek the advice of a lawyer to guide me through the potential tax benefits and implications of a joint venture.
Jimmy V.
A joint venture is a type of partnership. Unless the partnership elects to be taxed like a corporation, it is a pass-through entity for income tax purposes. In other words, there is no taxation at the company level, just at the individual level.

Joint Venture Agreement
Georgia
What are the voting rights in a joint venture?
I am looking to enter into a joint venture with a business partner. We are both making a significant investment of resources and capital, and we want to ensure that we have a clear understanding of the voting rights associated with the venture. We want to make sure that each party's interests are protected and that all decisions are made in a fair and equitable manner.
Karen M.
The voting rights should be based on what the parties determine to be appropriate based on your particular teaming arrangement. You also should consider if there is any voting requirement based on an end-user for the joint venture (e.g., governmental authority may require a majority ownership by one of the joint venturers as well as majority voting rights as in the case of an 8(a) certified entity).
