Contractual Agreement
Michigan
Me and my friends are planning to start a business.but using using my Friend's place..so what type of contract should I look into??
Can I draft my own contract and take it to police to stamp it after reaching my agreement with my friend,?
David H.
In most cases, contracts only need to be signed by the parties to the contract. The contract should have the key information related t the parties signing and the terms and length of the agreement to name a few clauses that need to be included. There are some contracts that need to be notarized. The police may have a notary, but your bank may also. There are many components to your question - ownership of the business, who does what in the business, business formation, is there a need for insurance to cover risks, and other items. There are tools online to help or you can use an attorney. With an attorney you will get specific assistance for your business, online it may be more generalized information you find.

Joint Venture Agreement
Texas
What's normal term in a joint venture?
I am currently in discussions with another company to form a joint venture to pursue a business opportunity. As part of our negotiations, we are trying to determine the appropriate term for the joint venture, including the duration of the joint venture and the conditions under which it can be extended or terminated. However, I am unclear on what is considered a normal or typical term for a joint venture, and what factors should be considered when determining the length of the venture. Therefore, I would like to seek the advice of a lawyer to guide me through the process of negotiating the term of the joint venture and to ensure that the terms are legally sound and meet my needs.
Jimmy V.
A joint venture is a partnership organized for a specific purpose. Let's say that you formed a joint venture to renovate a house and sell it. The joint venture ends once the project is completed. In this case the joint venture would end when you sold the house, PS For more information about business entities, download a free copy of my ebook "Should Your Small Business Become a Corporation or an LLC?

Form 2553
Texas
Can a single-member LLC elect S corporation status by filing Form 2553?
I am the sole owner of a limited liability company (LLC) and I am considering electing S corporation status for tax purposes. I have heard that filing Form 2553 with the IRS is necessary to make this election, but I am uncertain whether this form can be used by a single-member LLC. I want to ensure that I am taking the correct steps to obtain S corporation status and maximize the tax benefits for my business.
Jennifer B.
Yes, your single-member LLC can elect S corporation tax treatment. The transition requires a two-step process with the IRS. First, since your LLC is currently treated as a disregarded entity for tax purposes, you'll need to file Form 8832 to elect corporate tax treatment. Once the IRS has processed this election, you can then file Form 2553 to specifically request S corporation status. Timing is crucial for this election. For the S corporation status to take effect in the current tax year, you must file Form 2553 either within the first two months and 15 days of that tax year, or at any time during the preceding tax year. Before proceeding, you should verify that your LLC meets all S corporation eligibility criteria. Your business must be domestic, have only permissible shareholders (individuals, certain trusts, or estates), maintain only one class of stock, and not fall into certain prohibited categories like financial institutions or insurance companies.

Revenue Sharing Agreement
New York
Can you explain the key provisions and legal considerations of a revenue sharing agreement?
I am currently in discussions with a potential business partner to establish a revenue sharing agreement for a new online platform we are developing together. While I have a basic understanding of revenue sharing agreements, I am unsure about the specific provisions and legal considerations that need to be included in the agreement to protect both parties' interests. I want to ensure that the agreement clearly outlines how revenue will be shared, what expenses will be deducted, and how disputes will be resolved, among other key provisions. I would greatly appreciate your guidance in understanding the legal aspects of revenue sharing agreements and any potential pitfalls that I should be aware of before finalizing the agreement with my business partner.
Damien B.
Hello! My name is Damien Bosco, Esq. My law office is located in Long Island City across from Manhattan. Some key provisions in a revenue-sharing agreement would be the following: - Purpose and Scope - Revenue Sharing Terms - Expense Deductions - Responsibilities of Each Party - Audit Rights - Dispute Resolution - Confidentiality and Non-Compete - Termination and Exit Strategy - Liability and Indemnification - Choice of Law Clearly distinguish between revenue-sharing arrangements and equity stakes, as they have different legal and tax implications. Also, address ownership of any intellectual property developed during the partnership, which can become a significant source of disputes. Feel free to reach out if you want a consultation or help drafting the agreement.
