Q: I am trying to create a hold harmless agreement with subcontractors, but I'm not currently an LLC.
I am not currently and LLC, but I am trying to create a hold harmless agreement with some subcontractors. Should I have them sign one now with me as an individual and then have them sign one later to my LLC?
A:
Whoever the contract is with. But you really want to pay for a consultation to review these questions with a business attorney
who focuses their practice on business formation. Your accountant can also have insights.Doing it all yourself off of the web, with all due respect to the vast acument of attorneys on the web, is not the way to go.
A: Yes! If your job is about to start and you have not yet incorporated as an LLC, you certainly may have subcontractors sign your hold harmless agreement now naming yourself individually and once you have set up your LLC have those subs sign the new hold harmless naming your company.
