The state filing fee for an LLC's Articles of Organization is about $105. To draft and prepare an operating agreement would cost ~ $500 depending on who you hire. The cost of advisory services (like taxes) after LLC formation will be a little costlier depending on the complexities of the business and its owner.

Who pays expenses in a joint venture?
I am currently exploring the possibility of forming a joint venture with another company to pursue a business opportunity. However, I am unclear on how expenses related to the joint venture will be paid and whether each company is responsible for their own expenses or if they will be shared. Therefore, I would like to seek the advice of a lawyer to better understand the financial implications of a joint venture and ensure that my interests are protected.

It depends on the language in the joint venture agreement.

LLC legal requirements?
I am interested in starting a business and I am considering setting it up as a limited liability company (LLC). I want to make sure that I understand all of the legal requirements that come with setting up and operating an LLC. I want to make sure that I remain compliant with all of the applicable laws and regulations so that I can protect myself and my business.

Hi there, Generally speaking, "limited liability" of LLC means that no member will be personally liable for the LLC's obligations in excess of the amount that he or she contributed, or is otherwise obligated to contribute, to the LLC. In order to enjoy this liability protection, you want to make sure that you respect the boundaries and formalities of your business by: 1. Keeping your business capitalized enough to carry out its normal business functions and meet its reasonably anticipated obligations; 2. Keeping your business assets separate from your personal assets (like not using company truck to run personal errands); 3. Having separate bank accounts; 4. and following corporate formalities like keeping records of meetings, documenting important business actions, and having an operating agreement.

Do beta testers need a special terms of service?
I am currently developing a software product and I am looking to have beta testers test out the product. I want to ensure that I have all the necessary legal documents and agreements in place before I allow any beta testers to access the product. I am wondering if beta testers need a special terms of service that is different from the standard terms of service agreement that would be given to customers when they purchase the product.
Merry K.
In both instances, you should incorporate some type of non-disclosure agreement. For beta testers, you need to address whether you are paying the beta testers in any way, shape, or form, such as a discount for the final software.

Who reviews consulting agreements?
Who can I get to review a 5 page CONSULTING AGREEMENT that a potential client has sent me? I am an independent consultant, specializing in website design and online marketing. A prospective client has sent me a 'fully loaded' CONSULTING AGREEMENT. The contract is more detailed than I have dealt with before, so I feel need legal support to review it and protect my interests.
