Business Contract

Georgia

Asked on Jun 16, 2022

What would an individual hoping to start small businesses with no funding now need in a loyal and sincere legal professional?

I am a woman who have varied ideas for businesses and who needs to have a cost line item for a good lawyer who can handle my needs (which I may not know now) in starting a consulting business in managing projects, travels, speech deliveries - story telling, and may be, some property deals among others. I am also one who have a nonprofit that needs guidance. I may be the focus brand but with for profit and nonprofit organization biases. How do i proceed with inclusion in my proposed budget for a reasonable, fair and loyal legal professional who can grow with me and stay on me for progress? I can also become internationally business minded. Costing please?

Founders' Agreement

California

Asked on Dec 15, 2024

Can a founders agreement be modified after it has been signed?

I am part of a startup team and we have recently signed a founders agreement that outlines the roles, responsibilities, and equity distribution among the founders. However, as we continue to work together and the business evolves, we have realized that certain aspects of the agreement need to be modified to better reflect our current needs and goals. We would like to know if it is possible to make amendments to the founders agreement, and if so, what is the process and potential implications of doing so.

Phillip Z.

Answered Jan 29, 2025

Yes, a founders agreement can be modified after signing, but several steps must be followed: 1. Mutual Consent: All founders must agree to the changes. 2. Documentation: Changes should be documented in an amendment referencing the original contract and specifying which clauses are modified. All parties must sign this amendment. 3. Legal Review: A lawyer should review the changes to ensure they are legally sound. 4. Consistency: Ensure changes align with other legal documents. Approach modifications carefully, as they can significantly impact the startup's rights, obligations, and ownership structure.

Joint Venture Contract

Texas

Asked on Mar 21, 2023

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.

Answered Mar 21, 2023

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.

LLC Operating Agreement

California

Asked on Jun 1, 2023

LLC and capital structure?

I am the founder and owner of a small business that is in the process of transitioning to an LLC. I am interested in understanding the capital structure of an LLC and how it differs from that of a sole proprietorship. I am looking for advice on how to ensure that my business is properly capitalized and structured in order to maximize its potential for success.

Russell M.

Answered Jun 20, 2023

Well, putting aside the very important detail that an LLC offers limitation of liability and a sole proprietorship does not, the difference between a sole proprietorship and an LLC is that you can allocate the profits to others through membership interests. This means you can bring on one or more investors and allocate the capital appreciation, profit and cash flow to the investors with the same or different terms from your interest, and that you can share profits with employees through a "profits interest". There is a great deal of flexibility that you can use through a properly drafted operating agreement.

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.
