Articles of Organization

Missouri

Asked on May 13, 2022

how much does it cost to create a real state single member LLC?

I own a duplex that i rent in columbia MO, and i want to create an LLC

Michael V.

Answered May 17, 2022

The state filing fee for an LLC's Articles of Organization is about $105. To draft and prepare an operating agreement would cost ~ $500 depending on who you hire. The cost of advisory services (like taxes) after LLC formation will be a little costlier depending on the complexities of the business and its owner.

LLC Operating Agreement

Kansas

Asked on Jul 16, 2025

Can an LLC operating agreement be modified without the consent of all members?

Can an LLC operating agreement be modified without the consent of all members? I am a member of an LLC and we have been operating under a certain agreement for several years. However, there have been some changes in our business and it is necessary to make amendments to the operating agreement. One of the members is reluctant to agree to the changes, but the majority of us believe it is in the best interest of the company. We want to know if it is possible to modify the operating agreement without the unanimous consent of all members, and if so, what steps are required to do so legally.

Cherie M.

Answered Aug 1, 2025

It primarily depends on what your operating agreement says regarding consent for making changes. That will control the process. If it is just changes to the operating agreement, it does not need to be reported to the Secretary of State. Changes to the Articles of Organization would need to be reported, however.

International Contract

California

Asked on Dec 28, 2024

What legal protections exist for me as a small business owner in the United States entering into an international contract?

As a small business owner in the United States, I am considering entering into an international contract with a supplier based in a different country. I am concerned about the potential risks and legal challenges that may arise from conducting business across borders. I want to know what legal protections exist for me in terms of contract enforcement, dispute resolution, and intellectual property rights, as well as any other important considerations I should be aware of before entering into an international contract.

Dolan W.

Answered Dec 31, 2024

Hello! My name is Dolan and thank you so much for coming to the site. So the contract itself is going to be the most important piece of protection. The law doesn't provide for specific protections for individuals or businesses entering into international agreements, but the contract itself, and its terms, are what you need to pay close attention to. If you are selling goods, then there are some rules that help clarify what AI said earlier. The first is the Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (called the CISG). The CISG applies automatically if both parties to the contract are located in countries that have adopted the treaty unless the parties specifically agree to opt out of it. It covers many aspects of a sales contract, such as the obligations of the buyer and seller, delivery of goods, payment, breach of contract, and remedies for non-performance. In other word, the CISG is kind of like a default set of rules for cross-border contracts unless you opt out of it, so knowing whether it helps or hurts your position is worth looking into. When it comes to intellectual property, be proactive. Just because you’ve got protections in the U.S. doesn’t mean they automatically apply abroad. Consider registering trademarks or patents in the country where your supplier is based to prevent them from using your intellectual property without permission. So what do I recommend you do? 1. Put in the contract what state is going to be the state for lawsuits (e.g. California); 2. Put it in writing! We can draft it up for you just let us know!

Employment Offer

Arizona

Asked on Dec 8, 2023

Can I get an advance on accepting the employment offer?

I recently received an offer for a position that I am very interested in, but I am concerned about the timeline of the offer. I need to give an answer soon, but I'm not sure if I can afford to take the job right away. I'm wondering if it's possible to get an advance on accepting the employment offer so that I can make a more informed decision.

Brian W.

Answered Jan 12, 2024

Yes, it is possible. Remember opportunities with employers should be mutually beneficial. Ultimately, you will receive an offer from the employer that you negotiate. In all negotiations, negotiate confidently and reasonably. It is ok to walk away from an offer if it does not meet you expectations.

LLC

Florida

Asked on Jul 16, 2025

What are the steps involved in forming an LLC?

I am interested in starting my own business and have decided that forming a limited liability company (LLC) is the best option for me. However, I am unsure about the specific steps involved in the LLC formation process, such as filing the necessary paperwork, obtaining an employer identification number (EIN), and drafting an operating agreement. I would like to understand the entire process in order to ensure that I comply with all legal requirements and set up my LLC properly.

Ralph S.

Answered Aug 1, 2025

An attorney on this site can help you with all the steps, some offer it a a package. You first need to decide on the membership structure (who owns what). File Articles of Organization with the State, obtain your ein, draft your operating agreement (have a discussion re who does what), prepare your members resolutions/ have a meeting- to issue your membership interests and appoint the person to open your bank account. Verify what subsequent steps you need to take in your county/city because these are different; verify if your kind of activity requires registration with state and or county. With regard to address and documents, remember that Florida requires a physical address (no PO Box) and that banks have been more and more difficult about using virtual addresses in recent months.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

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. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
