Should I sign a contract if I don't understand what it is saying?

Operating Agreement

Pennsylvania

Asked on Jun 7, 2022

Can you explain and help with the process of dividing the LLC into 99% and 1%?

I would like to make my dad a 1% owner in the company In order to have an LLC in PA under the age of 18. Me being 17, I would like to create an LLC so that I can function and be fully legal and transparent to the state of PA. I need more specific 1 on 1 guidance on how I can fully make this possible. Any information helps, thank you.

Ryan W.

Answered Jun 14, 2022

Hi. This is a difficult question in terms of application and practicality. There is nothing in the LLC laws that prevent a minor from owning an LLC in Pennsylvania. However, the minor may not have capacity to sign a binding agreement such as the documents necessary to create an LLC. More than likely an option to consider may be to have a parent form the LLC and grant the minor an ownership interest through an operating agreement. However, each situation may be different and I urge you to contact legal counsel to discuss your specific circumstances.

Business Entity

North Carolina

Asked on Jul 16, 2024

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.

Answered Aug 27, 2024

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.

Stock Purchase Agreement

New York

Asked on Jun 3, 2023

Stock purchase agreement and board approval?

I am a potential investor in a small business. The business is offering to sell me a portion of their stock, and I have received a Stock Purchase Agreement. The Agreement does not indicate whether the sale has been approved by the board of directors of the company. I need to know if board approval is necessary in order for the Agreement to be valid.

Daniel R.

Answered Jun 30, 2023

Not necessarily. It depends on the By-Laws and Shareholder Agreements who has authority to issue stock. I would recommend a rep and warranty that they have the authority and all appropriate Approvals have been secured.

Business Issue

New York

Asked on Nov 18, 2024

Can I use a different name for my business other than my legal name?

I am currently in the process of starting my own business and I am considering using a different name for my business than my own legal name. I have heard about the concept of 'Doing Business As' (DBA) and I am wondering if I am legally allowed to operate my business under a different name. I want to understand the legal requirements and implications of using a DBA, such as registering the name, potential trademark issues, and any other legal considerations I should be aware of.

Danny J.

Answered Dec 22, 2024

Yes, you can use a different name for your business other than your legal name through a process called "Doing Business As" (DBA), also known as a fictitious business name or trade name. Here are some key points to consider: 1. Registration: Most states require you to register your DBA with the appropriate local or state agency. 2. Legal compliance: Using a DBA allows you to operate your business and enter into contracts under that name. 3. Trademark considerations: A DBA doesn't automatically protect your business name from trademark infringement. 4. Banking: You may need to provide your DBA registration to open a business bank account. 5. Tax implications: A DBA doesn't create a separate legal entity; it's simply an alias for your business. While using a DBA can offer flexibility in branding, there are important legal considerations and potential pitfalls to navigate. The specific requirements and implications can vary depending on your location and business structure. Given the complexities involved, it would be prudent to have professional guidance to ensure you're fully compliant and protected. As an experienced business attorney, I could assist you in: 1. Determining if a DBA is the best option for your situation 2. Guiding you through the registration process 3. Addressing potential trademark issues 4. Ensuring all legal requirements are met Would you like to discuss your specific business plans and how I can ensure your DBA is set up correctly?
