I would give the "hire" a schedule and work tasks that each senior client requests. I would be running this business in Michigan. The hire would keep track each client visit and turn in to me a completed "task sheet" at the end of each week. I think that is about the extent of... View More

Work for someone else until you learn the ropes. And don’t sign an agreement not to compete.
I live in an apartment complex (Clinton Township, MI) and recently opened a LLC. I purchased a "virtual address" online - a Troy, MI address.
The Troy address is much more professional looking. It is not a location I can work from, it is just a location that can receive mail for... View More

The Michigan LLC Act requires that the company's books and records be maintained at the registered office or its principal place of business. MCL 450.4213.

If you are paying employees under your limited liability company, you will have to pay withholding taxes unless - state and federal taxes. Yes you need to register with the state. Your accountant can assist you with your paperwork and tax filings.

That would be fine. Do you plan to hold these or other events again in the future? If so, you might want to give some thought towards incorporating. That would make the name associated with the organization permanent.

This depends on whether or not a Tenancy by sufferance was created. Did he lease the land last year? Did you intend to reduce this to writing but just never got around to doing that? Was there some sort of VERBAL lease (never a good idea, but it is OFTEN done particularly with farm land!) Has the... View More
We have no operating agreement but are in complete agreement about an equal payout for 50% interest in the company. At which point the other member will withdraw from the LLC. What Documentation is Necessary and what are the tax implications? Is it possible to structure the payout as part cash and... View More
