H-1B Visa
California
Can an H-1B visa holder start a business in the US?
I am currently in the United States on an H-1B visa and I have been considering starting my own business. However, I am unsure if it is legally permissible for an H-1B visa holder to do so. I have heard conflicting information and want to understand the specific regulations and requirements that apply to H-1B visa holders who wish to start a business in the US.
Christopher N.
The short answer is: likely yes. The issue of your visa and owning a business are mutually exclusive. HOWEVER, you H1B visa is sponsored by your current employer, if you leave that employment without another visa, you have to leave the country. I HIGHLY recommend you speak with an immigration AND a business attorney to determine how the two issues may conflic, or how you can thread the needle so as to avoid issues on both matters. Good luck.
Business
Business Partnership Agreement
North Carolina
Can I withdraw from a business partnership agreement?
I am currently in a business partnership agreement with a colleague, and I am considering withdrawing from the partnership. We have been in the agreement for over a year and our goals and objectives have changed. I am looking for legal advice on the steps I need to take to withdraw from the agreement, and the potential legal implications of doing so.
N'kia N.
Below is a general overview of how the process of a partner withdrawing from a partnership commonly plays out: The withdrawing partner gives written notice of withdrawal. The parties obtain business valuations to determine payout terms. The parties execute some type of withdrawal or buyout agreement that states rights, responsibilities, and restrictions (such as non-competition and non-disclosure/confidentiality), and other important terms of the deal. A partner who is considering withdrawing from the partnership should consider consulting with a knowledgeable attorney who can review the Partnership Agreement and the terms of a proposed withdrawal or buyout agreement, and either guide the partner through handling the process without representation or represent the partner through the withdrawal. Additionally, the partner might consider consulting with a tax professional regarding tax liabilities. [It is often beneficial for the partner to seek assistance from an independent attorney or tax professional, rather than one who represents the partnership or another partner.]
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
