Building Lease

California

Asked on Nov 21, 2023

Are building lease deposits refundable?

I am a tenant looking to rent a commercial building. I am in the process of signing the lease agreement and wanted to understand if the security deposit I have to pay will be refundable. I understand that this will depend on the terms of the lease, but I wanted to get a better understanding of what is common in the industry.

David B.

Answered Nov 25, 2023

Generally speaking, a security deposit is refundable after a lease expires if the tenant complies with all of the terms and conditions of the lease. When a landlord leases a commercial building, they are giving the tenant possession of a very valuable asset and they are trusting the tenant to maintain and care for it. The deposit gives some assurance to the landlord that if the premises is damaged or rent is not paid, there is a source of money to pay the landlord. This is the general way security deposits work but the landlord and tenant can agree to substantially different terms.

Limited Liability Company

LLC

New York

Asked on Oct 25, 2023

Is LLC formation state-specific?

I am looking to start a business and am considering forming a limited liability company (LLC). I have heard that the LLC formation process is state-specific, and I want to make sure that I am taking the right steps to form a LLC in the correct jurisdiction. I would like to know if the LLC formation process is state-specific, and if so, what steps I should take to form a LLC in the correct jurisdiction.

N'kia N.

Answered Oct 27, 2023

LLC formation is state-specific, as there is no federal formation process. Each state can establish its own laws, including those related to state taxes, for an LLC operating there. However, an LLC must also comply with any applicable federal laws. If you have specific questions about state and federal implications of LLC formation, you might consider consulting with a knowledgeable business law attorney. [I am licensed to practice law by the state of North Carolina.]

LLC

California

Asked on Jun 28, 2022

LLC or S-Corp?

I am starting a public speaking consulting business with one other person. Most of our work will be done virtually and do not need an office space and will not have a physical product. We do not have investors. We have received conflicting advice about whether to form a llc or an s-corp. The s-corp has been suggested by some as the best for tax purposes, but others have warned that it is much more expensive to start and harder to maintain. What would be best for our situation?

Briana C.

Answered Jul 8, 2022

For a small service business with no outside investors, the LLC form probably offers you more advantages than the corporation. (For example, LLCs offer greater flexibility, fewer corporate formalities, and pass-through taxation which is especially beneficial in the early stages of an LLC if you have other income sources.) The S-Corp election does not affect your choice of entity (LLC or corporation). Either kind of entity can make the S-Corp election, which just tells the IRS how you should be taxed. You can form an LLC at the beginning and make the S-Corp election for that LLC in the future, if and when it makes sense (you will still be an LLC then, but an S-Corp for tax purposes only). The S-Corp election only makes sense to do once your net profits reach a certain level. The purpose of the S-Corp election is to reduce your taxes. Filing the S-Corp election is not itself very expensive, but you will need to incur the costs of running payroll. (LLCs don't have to run payroll.)

View Trustpilot Review

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.
