Business Legal Questions and Answers

Business Partnership Agreement
Texas
Business partnership agreement for short projects?
I am looking to start a business partnership with another individual. We are both interested in working together on short-term projects, but we want to ensure that our partnership is legally binding and properly structured to protect both of our interests. We have discussed the details of our agreement, but I would like to have a lawyer review the agreement to ensure that it is legally sound.
Jimmy V.
In a partnership, each of you is liable for all debts of the partnership. Your personal assets are at risk if anything goes wrong. You should set up as a limited liability company. That way, only the LLC can be liable, and you will not be personally liable. To se up an LLC, you need a filing with the state, an Operating Agreement, and an Employer Identification Number from the IRS. The Operation Agreement is, in effect, a partnership agreement. I offer flat fee packages for these services. Thx. JV

Shareholders Agreement
Massachusetts
Should I form a corporation around my research if I don't plan to conduct any other forms of business (e.g., hire, sell, or raising funding) in the next year?
Should I form a corporation around my work if I don't plan to conduct any other forms of business (e.g., hire, sell, or raise outside funding) in the next year? My research is computational in nature (can be done on my laptop) and doesn't require many resources.
Richard G.
The answer to this questions to some degree depends upon your tolerance for risk. If in performing your "business" you are not exposing yourself in any way to the outside world, e.g., hiring, selling, inviting investors, etc., then you may no little to no liability exposure. However, if there is any aspect of your work that would or could develop into something which does involve others, or which is relied upon by others, then the safest path would be to incorporate or form an LLC. LLC's are more expensive to maintain in Massachusetts, i.e., $500 annually, but require less paperwork (no shares to consider, etc.). An LLC should have an operating agreement, even with a single member to clearly distinguish the member as an individual from the LLC as a company. Incorporation is more expensive in the early stages as it requires you to pay your fee to the Secretary of State (about $275), which recurs annually. It is more heavy in terms of annual meeting minutes of shareholders, and other formal documents, and can be a bit more expensive as incorporating will require a shareholder's agreement and other documentation at the outset (not repeated annually).

Assignment Of Partnership Interest
California
Can a partner assign their interest in a partnership to another person without the consent of the other partners?
I am a partner in a small business partnership and I recently discovered that one of my partners plans to assign their interest in the partnership to a third party without informing or seeking consent from the other partners. This raises concerns for me as we have a close-knit working relationship and I believe that such a significant change in ownership should require the approval of all partners. I would like to know if it is legally permissible for a partner to assign their interest in a partnership without the consent of the other partners, and what actions can be taken to protect the interests of the remaining partners in such a situation.
Dolan W.
Hello! My name is Dolan and I'm happy to answer this question. The short answer? Whether your partner can assign their interest without your consent depends on your partnership agreement. Most agreements require all partners to approve something like this, especially in a close-knit setup like yours. If there’s no agreement or it doesn’t cover this, state law usually allows a partner to transfer their financial stake (like profits and losses) but not their management rights or status as a partner without everyone’s okay. First, check your partnership agreement to see if this move breaks the rules. If it does, you can push back. If there’s no agreement, the new person likely can’t step into full partnership status without your consent. To avoid issues like this in the future, consider updating the agreement to require unanimous approval for transfers. If things get messy, a lawyer who knows partnership law can help you sort it out and protect your business. We can update your agreement, or at least revise it, on this site. Thanks so much! Dolan

S Corp
North Carolina
S corp and liquidation preferences?
I am a business owner who recently incorporated as an S corporation. I am interested in learning more about liquidation preferences as I am considering bringing on additional investors to help fund the business. I want to understand the implications of liquidation preferences on my ownership and the rights of the new investors.
Nicholas M.
An S-Corp has some limitations here (such as no more than 100 share holders and only one class of stock). Depending on the control that you seek to retain in your business, you may want to transition to a full C-Corp, restructure preferred (voting) shares from equity shares, and manage your business governance (Board of Directors, Officers, Resolutions, etc.) in a way big investors will find compelling.
Business
Business Entity
North Carolina
What is the process for registering a foreign entity in the United States?
I am a business owner based in Canada and I am considering expanding my operations to the United States. I have been researching the legal requirements and it seems that I need to register my Canadian company as a foreign entity in the US. I would like to understand the process involved in this registration, including any necessary documents, fees, and potential tax implications.
David W.
Registering a Canadian entity to do business in the United States involves several key steps, which can differ slightly depending on the state. The following may help you through the process, but should not be considered legal advice: Choose the State: Decide which state(s) you will be doing business in, as each has its own specific requirements and procedures for foreign entity registration. Appoint a Registered Agent: Select a registered agent within the state. This person or business entity will receive legal and tax documents on behalf of your company and must have a physical address in the state. Check Business Name Availability: Ensure your business name is available in the chosen state. If needed, reserve the name to guarantee it’s available when you file your registration. Prepare Necessary Documents: Typically, you will need to file a Certificate of Authority (also known as Foreign Qualification or Application for Registration). This document generally requires: The name of your business. The state or country where your business was originally formed. The date of formation. The principal office address. The address of the registered agent in the state. Names and addresses of directors, officers, or members. Get a Certificate of Good Standing: Obtain a Certificate of Good Standing (or Certificate of Existence) from the province in Canada where your business was formed. This document verifies that your business is in compliance with local laws. File with the State: Submit the completed Certificate of Authority and the Certificate of Good Standing to the state’s Secretary of State office or equivalent authority, along with any required filing fees. Pay the Filing Fees: Filing fees vary by state. Check the specific fee for the state you are registering in. Get an Employer Identification Number (EIN): Apply for an EIN from the IRS if you haven’t done so already. This is necessary if you will have employees or if it’s required for other federal tax purposes. Register for State Taxes: Register for state taxes, including state income tax, sales tax, and employment taxes, if applicable. Maintain Compliance: Stay compliant with ongoing state requirements, such as filing annual reports, paying franchise taxes, and maintaining a registered agent. Each state may have additional requirements or steps, so it’s a good idea to consult with a legal or business professional who is familiar with the regulations in the state where you plan to register.
