What are the essential contracts for my business entity?

If you choose to form a LLC, then you will need: 

  1. LLC Agreement (or “Operating Agreement” in California),
  2. Member or Manager Resolutions
  3. IP Assignment Agreement; and 
  4. Non-disclosure Agreement

If you choose to form a Corporation, then you will need: 

  1. Bylaws
  2. Stock Purchase (or Restricted Stock Purchase) Agreements,
  3. Shareholders Agreement, 
  4. Director Resolutions, 
  5. IP Assignment Agreement; and 
I’m starting a new business, what is the most tax efficient choice of entity for me?

Typically, entrepreneurs get to choose among C Corporations, S Corporations, Partnerships, Limited Liability Companies (LLC), and Sole Proprietorships. While C Corporations are subjected to two levels of taxations and have to comply with a little more formalities, there are a number of benefits they provide such as ease of share transferability, limited liability and investor preference… etc. On the other hand, S Corporations, Partnerships, LLCs and Sole Proprietorships are “flow-through” entities that pass business income on to the owners or investors of the business and thus are only subjected to one level of taxation. Often, the decision of entity choices is driven with other considerations beyond tax. Schedule an appointment with Carbon Law Group today for us to offer you deeper insight into the advantages and disadvantages of each entity type.

Where should I incorporate my business?

There is a misconception that you would incorporate in Nevada or Wyoming even if you don’t have any connection to those states. There is no real benefit to incorporating in those states unless you can establish your business operations there and you are going to be taxed in those states. Instead, technology startups often choose Delaware because it is attractive to Venture Capital and Private Equity firms due to its comprehensive corporate laws. If you are not looking to raise capital from a VC or PE firm, then you should consider incorporating in the state where your main business operations will be located.

What permits, licenses, or registrations do I need for my business?

Depending on the nature of the business, you may need the following permits, licenses, or regulations: 

  1. If you are doing a regulated business such as aviation, agriculture, alcohol, etc., you will need an industry specific permit. 
  2. Sales tax license or permit
  3. Home-based business permits
  4. City and county business permits or licenses
  5. Zoning permit
  6. Seller’s permit
  7. Health department permits (e.g., for restaurants)
  8. Federal and State tax/employer IDs
What is the difference between the bylaws and the operating agreement?

The bylaws of a corporation represent the internal governance guidelines and rules of the organization. Bylaws spell out the rules of how the business will operate and provide guidance for the corporation’s shareholders, executives, and employees on how to run the company smoothly. While corporate bylaws are specific to an S-Corp or C-Corp, an Operating Agreement serves a similar purpose for LLC’s.
