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.

What documents are needed for LLC formation?

I am looking to form a Limited Liability Company (LLC) for a business venture that I am starting.

At a bare minimum, an LLC requires: 1. Articles of Organization. (These must be filed with the secretary of state.) 2. An Operating Agreement (This document lays out how the LLC is to be managed and maintained.) 3. An Employee Identification Number from the IRS.

Cancellation Agreement

New York

Asked on Nov 16, 2021

How can I cancel the signed building repair contract in new york?

I have signed a contract to do repair work of home and it is in the last phase. The contract includes the work to the done and the amount allocated and it does not contain any clauses or date of completion for each phase. Currently, the contractor is not coming for work and not responding to emails and phone calls. 90% of work is done for paid work. No money is paid for pending work. I want to hire a new contractor. Is sending a letter indicating the contract is terminated due to non progress and pending work for paid amount is enough ?

Jane C.

Answered Nov 26, 2021

I suggest you send the contractor an email and mail a written letter to him stating that you will not be completing the job with him.

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.

View Trustpilot Review

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.
