You cannot retroactively change the name of the organizer once the entity is filed with the secretary of state. However, keep in mind that "organizer" does not mean that person is actually an owner of the company. It is simply the person or entity that files the articles.

No. There is no form to change to a single member LLC. You just transfer the membership interests to you from your spouse. And you do not need to record anything or file anything with the SOS unless you included ownership in the Articles of Organization.

If you begin conducting business in Michigan and don't do do anything else with the company, you will need to register in Michigan as a foreign entity since it is a Georgia entity (regardless of where you reside). Assuming you will not be moving back to Georgia soon, it makes sense to just... View More

With a few exceptions that don't apply to your situation, oral agreements are as enforceable as written agreements. However, proving the existence of the agreement and its specific terms is the hard part. Whether you have a good chance of enforcing the agreement is a fact question that... View More

Simply owning the property would not require foreign entity registration, but if the LLC rents out the property it would be deemed to be conducting business in Georgia and would be required to register with the Georgia Secretary of State.

That is too much of an open-ended question for an online Q&A forum. You should consult with a local business attorney and have them draft a comprehensive operating agreement (if an LLC) or shareholders agreement (if a corporation).

Yes, and that is often the case for liability protection for general partners.

Since you already have the LLC set up you should use the name of the LLC on the locum agreement, and any accompanying documentation.

Yes. While not an overly complicated process, it needs to be done correctly.

It depends on what you mean by "add the LLC." In many instances, having a non-profit own a for-profit entity is a bad idea and can lead to the non-profit losing its tax exempt status. Discuss with an attorney who deals with non-profits.

What is your question?

I would need more information on the company, ownership percentages, positions, duties, contracts, etc. But generally speaking, you all would have to all agree to properly dissolve the company.

It depends on the terms of the agreement. Most non-competes include competing as an employee and as a contractor, and in any other capacity.

If there was an enforceable agreement, whether orally, via e-mails or through a more traditional written agreement, it depends on the terms of the agreement. If there was not an agreement there cannot be a breach.

Based on your posting forming a new LLC to operate the joint venture is likely to be the best option, so you might as well use the right business name to avoid having to register a trade name.

What is your question?

Generally, just dropping the company designation (LLC or Inc.) does not require a trade name registration.

It really depends on the exact terms of the agreement and the specific facts of your side business. Have a business attorney review it and advise you accordingly.

Almost certainly not, unless this is a larger organization.

Yes.
