Tennessee
Do I need a user agreement for my business?
I’ve recently started my business which is a web-based sentimental message delivery company. Essentially my business allows people to upload written, Audio, and video files to my website (data warehouse is managed through Amazon Web Services), for these messages to be delivered to their intended recipients at a later date in the future or after they pass away. I intended to manage the post-life part by asking the customers to submit their DOB, full name, and most recent address, as we plan to run regular scans against the SSA’s death master. I realize that this is personal information, that may fall under HIPAA penalties. My Amazon expert recommended a user agreement so I’ve been reading up on them, and I just want to confirm this is the appropriate approach. Please advise and let me know what the rate for this user agreement would be through your services. My website is below. Here’s the website: O1morething.com

Shareholders Agreement
Ohio
Can a shareholders agreement be digital?
I am a business owner looking to create a Shareholders Agreement with my business partner. We both have busy schedules and would prefer to avoid the hassle of having to meet in person to sign a physical document. I am wondering if it is possible to create a digital Shareholders Agreement that we could both sign electronically.
Paul S.
Sure. Gathering people around a conference room table to sign documents is so 1990s. I have clients all over the world, and routinely have them sign documents of all types (shareholder agreements, board resolutions, merger agreements, etc.) using platforms like Docusign. I couldn't function without it.
Business Contracts
Letter of Intent
Ohio
What is the purpose of a letter of intent?
I am buying a small business and have read I should put a letter of intent in place. I see they can be binding and non-binding. Why do I need to send a letter of intent? What is the benefit for the buyer?
Donya G.
A letter of intent establishes the initial negotiations of the parties; they are typically non binding. The LOI sets out what the parties should expect the agreement would look like, so that everyone is on the same page. For the buyer, it tells the seller what they want; and while no binding, it should only include terms that the parties agree upon. Those terms will be used in the Asset Purchase Agreement (APA) or Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA) which is binding. As an attorney that focuses on the purchase and sale of businesses, I can assist you with the LOI as well as the documents required for purchasing the business and closing the deal. Donya Gordon

Asset Purchase Agreement
North Carolina
Are there tax implications in an asset purchase agreement?
I am in the process of purchasing a business and have been presented with an asset purchase agreement. Before signing the agreement, I am interested in understanding the potential tax implications related to the transaction. I want to make sure that I understand the full scope of the financial obligations I am committing to and any potential future liabilities I may face.
N'kia N.
An asset purchase agreement is generally considered a taxable transaction for the buyer. However, there are sometimes ways for the buyer to reduce its tax liability. If you are considering entering into an asset purchase agreement, you should also consider consulting with a tax professional.

Purchase And Sale Contract
New Jersey
When do you sign a purchase and sale agreement?
Getting my ducks in a row for a house transaction that is coming up. Who signs and when do you sign?
Donya G.
You should sign a PSA after you have done your due diligence. You will need to look at the financials and the books of the company and complete any background check, including searching the court system for any lawsuits against the entity. Once you are comfortable with what you see, and you have the PSA reviewed by an attorney and it is in line with what the parties agreed to and protects your rights, then you can sign. As a contracts attorney that specializes in the purchase and sale of business, I can assist you with your PSA. You can find me on the website or my profile page - Donya Gordon Donya Gordon

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 ReviewI 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.
View Trustpilot ReviewI 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.
