Corporate Legal Questions and Answers

Certificate of Good Standing

Ohio

Asked on Aug 15, 2024

Can you explain what a Certificate of Good Standing is and why it is important for a business?

I recently started a small business and I have heard about this document called a Certificate of Good Standing. I am not entirely sure what it is and why it is important, so I would like some clarification. From my understanding, it is a document issued by the state where my business is registered, but I am unsure of its purpose and how it affects my business. I want to make sure I am in compliance with all necessary requirements and understand the implications of obtaining or not obtaining this certificate.

Melissa G.

Answered Sep 10, 2024

A certificate of good standing shows that your business has complied with all of the applicable laws and regulations for the state in which the business operates (e.g., all required reports have been filed like the annual report; the business has paid all taxes and fees; the business has met any necessary licensing and regulatory requirements, etc.). and that the business is legally authorized to operate in a state. It is important to have so that the business can show potential partners, investors, or lenders that your business has taken the necessary steps to ensure its legal status in the state.

LLC

California

Asked on Oct 29, 2023

How is management structure set post-formation?

I am in the process of forming a Limited Liability Company (LLC) and I am looking to understand how the management structure will be set up post-formation. I have a business partner who will be a co-owner of the LLC and I am interested in learning the best way to ensure that both of our interests are represented in the management structure. Furthermore, I am interested in learning what type of documentation will be needed to ensure that our management structure is properly set up and in compliance with applicable laws.

Sarah S.

Answered Nov 3, 2023

When forming a Limited Liability Company (LLC) with a business partner, it's crucial to establish a clear and effective management structure to represent both of your interests. To do so, you should create an Operating Agreement, a customizable document that outlines the management structure, ownership percentages, and roles and responsibilities of each member. You can choose between a member-managed or manager-managed LLC, depending on your and your partner's roles and preferences. Defining ownership percentages, management responsibilities, voting rights, meeting procedures, and compliance with state laws is essential. Legal counsel should be consulted to draft the Operating Agreement and ensure compliance with specific state regulations, and it's important to regularly review and update the document to adapt to changes as your business evolves.

LLC Operating Agreement

Florida

Asked on Aug 8, 2021

What happens to LLC when member dies?

I want to create an operating agreement that explains what happens with the business in case one of the members died. We have an LLC. We want to create an operating agreement that states how the business will keep working in case one of our members dies.

Rishma E.

Answered Aug 23, 2021

Membership interests in an LLC are considered the personal property of the interests holders. As such, you will need to include clauses in which you specifically name beneficiaries for those membership interests upon death of the interests holders. You may additionally need to include procedures for transfer (for example through membership certificates).

Due Diligence Report

California

Asked on Aug 25, 2025

What is the purpose and importance of a Due Diligence Report?

As a small business owner, I am considering entering into a partnership with another company, but before proceeding, I want to understand the purpose and importance of a Due Diligence Report. I have heard that it is a crucial step in assessing the financial and legal risks associated with a potential business deal, and I want to ensure that I have all the necessary information and insights to make an informed decision.

Randy M.

Answered Sep 5, 2025

When you're thinking about entering into a business partnership, a Due Diligence Report isn’t just a formality. It’s your insurance policy. Think of it like hiring a private investigator to dig into every part of your potential partner’s business, especially the parts that might not show up until it's too late. Done right, due diligence covers four key areas: financial health, legal status, operational strength, and market reputation. Let’s Talk Money First Financial due diligence isn’t just about checking a few profit-and-loss statements. You want to understand how money really flows through the business. That means looking at cash flow over a few years, checking whether their customers actually pay on time, and digging into outstanding debts, including any personal guarantees the owners have signed. For example, they might look profitable on paper, but if their top clients delay payments or argue about invoices, cash flow could be a real problem. You also want to uncover liabilities that don’t show up on the balance sheet. Pending lawsuits, warranty obligations, or environmental cleanups can quietly become your problem once you're tied together. And taxes? Those are non-negotiable. Unpaid payroll or sales taxes can turn into personal liability in many states. That’s not something you want to inherit. Legal and Regulatory Risks This part is about making sure the business is actually in good standing and that nothing in their legal structure or contracts could come back to bite you. You’ll want a thorough review of any ongoing litigation, along with a close read of their major agreements. Some contracts might have clauses that restrict operations or create extra obligations you weren’t expecting. Employment agreements can be especially tricky. Non-compete clauses or change-of-control terms might trigger bonus payouts or resignations if ownership shifts. Licensing is another area to watch, especially in regulated industries. Operating without a valid license can shut a business down immediately. And if the company claims to own valuable intellectual property, a good due diligence process will verify those claims through proper trademark and patent records. Next, Take a Hard Look at Operations This is where you figure out whether the business can actually deliver what it promises. Who are the key players? Are they under contract? What happens if they leave? You also need to understand the supply chain. If the business relies heavily on a single supplier, that’s a serious vulnerability. Don’t forget the tech. Many businesses run on outdated systems that won’t integrate with yours or scale with growth. Fixing that after the deal is signed can get expensive quickly. Reputation Matters, Too The company might look solid internally, but how does the market see them? You’ll want to assess their competitive position and whether their revenue depends heavily on just one or two customers. If 60 percent of their income comes from one account, losing that relationship could collapse the whole operation. You should also review their online footprint, compliance history, and any bad press. If their name is tangled in negative headlines or public disputes, it could affect your brand just by association. What Do You Do with All This Information? Use it to shape your negotiations. If financials are shaky, you might want the owners to personally guarantee certain obligations or ask for monthly reporting. If litigation is pending, you can negotiate indemnification clauses that protect you if things go sideways. It also helps you choose the right deal structure. Maybe a joint venture makes more sense than a general partnership. Limiting liability could save you from taking on more risk than necessary. Can You Do This Alone? You can review basic documents yourself, but deeper analysis often needs professionals. A CPA can spot issues in financials and tax returns that might not be obvious at first glance. Employment attorneys can identify red flags in hiring practices or compensation agreements. If the business operates in a complex industry, bring in someone who knows that space. Tech companies especially should get a cybersecurity review. You don’t want to discover a data breach after you sign. What’s This All Going to Cost? Professional due diligence usually runs between $5,000 and $25,000, depending on how complex the business is. But more often than not, it pays for itself, either by uncovering issues that give you leverage or by helping you walk away from a bad deal before it’s too late. Expect the process to take four to eight weeks. You’ll usually get some early insights within the first two, but thorough analysis takes time. Building that into your timeline prevents rushed decisions and costly surprises.

Partnership Agreement

Tennessee

Asked on Oct 6, 2022

What is a limited partnership agreement?

Being asked to sign one and not sure what it is. I'm trying to create a partnership with a few of my colleagues and I'm concerned about the word 'limited'.

Michael S.

Answered Oct 25, 2022

We really need to know more about the business and how everyone envisions ownership in order to answer the question. In general (and this is very general - I am a PA lawyer, not Tennessee), a limited partnership is an entity through which a business or property is owned. In a limited partnership, you need to have a general partner (either one more individuals or entities) who essentially manage the entity, and also have liability for all liabilities of the general partnership. The limited partners invest in the entity, but have no liability for the entity's obligations.
