Corporate Legal Questions and Answers

Asset Purchase Agreement

New York

Asked on Oct 4, 2022

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?

Michael S.

Answered Oct 14, 2022

As the buyer, your preference is always to by the assets rather than the existing business entity. That way, you will have greater protection against liabilities of the business that arose before your purchase. You can also structure the deal so that you're buying only those assets you're interested in, and can carve out those assets you don't want to buy. You do want an attorney assisting you, as there are pitfalls in the process, and you want to be protected. Thanks.

C Corp

New York

Asked on Jun 11, 2023

C corp and board composition?

I am a small business owner that is in the process of setting up a C Corporation. I am currently in the process of forming the board of directors and I want to make sure that I am following all of the necessary legal regulations. I want to ensure that I am properly setting up the board of directors and that the board is comprised of the correct individuals.

Michael S.

Answered Jun 21, 2023

The specific requirements for the composition of a board are a matter of State law, so the answer would depend on where your corporation is incorporated and, in some circumstances, where it is physically located. The number of directors and the specific choice of whom to add to the Board is generally best determined on a case by case basis.

Certificate of Good Standing

Ohio

Asked on Aug 15, 2024

Can you explain what a Certificate of Good Standing is and why it is important for a business?

I recently started a small business and I have heard about this document called a Certificate of Good Standing. I am not entirely sure what it is and why it is important, so I would like some clarification. From my understanding, it is a document issued by the state where my business is registered, but I am unsure of its purpose and how it affects my business. I want to make sure I am in compliance with all necessary requirements and understand the implications of obtaining or not obtaining this certificate.

Melissa G.

Answered Sep 10, 2024

A certificate of good standing shows that your business has complied with all of the applicable laws and regulations for the state in which the business operates (e.g., all required reports have been filed like the annual report; the business has paid all taxes and fees; the business has met any necessary licensing and regulatory requirements, etc.). and that the business is legally authorized to operate in a state. It is important to have so that the business can show potential partners, investors, or lenders that your business has taken the necessary steps to ensure its legal status in the state.

LLC

Massachusetts

Asked on Aug 30, 2024

Can you explain the steps and legal requirements for forming a multi-member LLC?

I am currently part of a small group of individuals who are interested in starting a business together. After conducting some research, we believe that forming a multi-member LLC would be the most suitable structure for our venture. However, we are unsure about the specific steps and legal requirements involved in the formation process. We want to ensure that we are compliant with all the necessary regulations and properly protect ourselves and our business interests. Therefore, we are seeking guidance from a lawyer who can explain the process and provide us with the necessary information to successfully establish a multi-member LLC.

Richard G.

Answered Oct 11, 2024

A multi-member LLC needs an operating agreement to establish the following: 1. Organization - how operations and management of the company is allocated among the members. 2. Dispute resolution - address procedures for resolving disputes. 3. Overriding default rules - Massachusetts has a State LLC statute which members may wish to overrride by tailoring specific rules to their needs. 4. Specifying ownership - specify the percentage of ownership for each member. 5. Specifying profit distribution - specify how profits and losses will be distributed. 6. Specifying accounting - specify who is responsible for accounting and record-keeping, and what accounting method will be used. 7. Specifying meeting rules - state who can hold meetings, who will take minutes, and who sets the meeting agenda. 8. Specifying member roles - specify the roles of each member, including their voting rights. The above is simply a list of some of the items that must be addressed when forming an LLC, there are typically other considerations necessary to protect both the LLC and each member's interests in the LLC> Please contact an attorney practiced at drafting operating agreements and forming an LLC with the Secretary of State's office...this is not something to do by piecing together an agreement with an internet search.

Corporation Agreement

California

Asked on Oct 4, 2024

What are the legal steps involved in forming a corporation?

I am looking to start a business and have decided on forming a corporation. However, I am unsure about the legal requirements and steps involved in the process. I understand that there are different types of corporations, such as C corporations and S corporations, and I am curious to know the specific steps I need to take to properly form a corporation, including registering with the appropriate government agencies, drafting articles of incorporation, and any other necessary legal procedures. I want to ensure that I am following all the necessary legal guidelines to establish my corporation correctly.

Dolan W.

Answered Oct 22, 2024

Hello! Congrats on your decision to start a business. First, begin by selecting a unique name for your corporation and ensure it complies with CA's naming requirements. You can do a name search here - https://bizfileonline.sos.ca.gov/search/business Next, you'll need to prepare and file articles of incorporation with your state's Secretary of State office. These articles typically include details like the corporation's name, purpose, registered agent, and the number of authorized shares of stock. You can do this on the BizFile Online website. Once the articles are filed, you'll need to appoint a board of directors who will oversee the corporation's activities. The board will then draft corporate bylaws (the internal rules). Then, you get an EIN. You can get an EIN online for free. We can always help with drafting the bylaws for you. Just come back to us! Best of luck! Dolan

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.
