Hi, I live in Washington State and I am formalizing a small business LLC from my home. The main purpose of my LLC is to purchase real estate property in Texas (residential homes), and put them up for rental. I will utilize a Texas based real estate company to purchase the home(s), and utilize a... Read more »
Yes - a foreign entity doing business in Texas needs to be registered with the Texas Secretary of State. However, an entity that is created for the sole purpose of owning real estate may not need to be registered in TX even though the property is located in TX. While the entity that conducts the...

Do I need a special license to do so?.
Yes - all vending machines have licensing requirements.
Dear,
I am an Amazon seller. Before starting my business I have hired an advocate to investigate patent infringements in advance. There were 3 patents for a similar product, however, one of the patents have been founds that very similar to my product but still there is a difference between... Read more »
You need to contact an attorney to evaluate your case.
In general Amazon does not arbitrate whether you are infringing or not a patent.
So your choices may be limited if you do not have a patent or license to your product.
Best luck.
We got a 90 day notice to leave because they sold the property . But no papers were added showing proof of it being sold ...I lease ended in march ..they never renewed it but we have till this day payed rent every month...what should we do...there is nothing open for rent here
Much depends upon the exact details - what the 90 day notice said; what, if any, other papers were served; what, if anything, was said about relocation assistance; etc. You are correct that the seller/landlord is obligated to show you a copy of the offer that he accepted, along with a declaration...

My company accidentally sent a check to a company ( Company A) with the exact same name as the actual receipt company of the check (Company B). When the check was sent it had all of company As information and was deposited without an issue. Unfortunately that check was sent and cashed in early... Read more »
Company A cannot keep the monies for work or services it had not performed. Should you decide to bring an action against them it is very likely you would prevail. From your facts as presented, this should not be difficult to resolve.
My mother sews and saw a product a few years back that was neat - She thought it would work better with a different design and material - however it serves the same purpose - the other company that has a patent-pending on it contacted us today and I was curious where we can find the exact info on...

The rights provided in an issued patent are very specific. The rights are to preclude others from doing what is in one of the claims. To infringe a claim, one needs to do everything in the claim (or a legal equivalent to what is in the claim).
This gets tricky. If a patent owner has... Read more »

It is hard to say without specifics, but if there is an activity like sewing that has been around for thousands of years, and a company comes up with a new product to help workers perform the activity better, the company will likely patent the product, as well as a method of using that product....

I have all the proof that he/she stated false facts. I also have the audio recording .
You make an appeal. You may think all facts are absolute. But often what we think are "facts" are either a combination of facts and the conclusions we draw from them--and conclusions are always subject to argument.
Even judges have been known to make errors as to what the... Read more »
Taxes. He counties to run company. They have a business bank account that he was on originally she was added to later. Bank says they are both equals on that account. Does he have rights to that money after she passes and business becomes shut down.
Additional facts are needed to answer this question. Much depends on how the bank account was set up. Who is the actual owner, who are the authorized users? Are there survivorship rights (if applicable), what do the company documents say? (articles of incorporation or Operating Agreement for a... Read more »
My sister and her partner entered a contract written up by their friend, the friend, upon receiving the full amount of money will sign over everything in a building to them. However, I believe a verbal agreement was made that a full set of items would be included, yet the items were not in the... Read more »
Verbal contracts are enforceable. However, they are harder to enforce. You would have to file a lawsuit against the party that didn't perform under the terms of the verbal contract. You would need witnesses to testify in court of the verbal contract and the terms. The judge would determine if... Read more »
I was just employed by a start up company and they want me to get an affidavit saying that I am the only one who has claim to any business information. for example if I were to get married and then divorced my spouse could not have any of my shares in the company
Short version is that you and/or your employer should hire a lawyer to properly draw up all of the paperwork you are discussing/seeking. It would seem that your employer would have an interest in doing this because I assume that there may be additional person(s) --whether employees or business... Read more »
I want to be able to advertise that I will return a percentage per year on the investment. No fees.
It depends on the type of business you have. You will need a license and registration with agencies.
Consult with an attorney.
I need to refi the partnership property but can't due to lien on the LLC still shown on county records as owner. My attorney says since I didn't record quut claim its not legal but everything I read says it is. Is it?
The execution (signing/notarizing) of a deed legally effectuates the transfer, and the recording of the deed is to put the world on notice of the transfer. When it comes to liens, the order of recording can determine the priority of the liens. Ask your attorney to fully explain to you, and or... Read more »

Patents are property, but they expire, so depending on when he got them you may or may not have any valuable assets
Very sorry, but your question makes no sense. Please restate it and provide actual details the next time.
I signed a agreement to start a company. Nothing has been filed/registered/, the business does not yet exist. How do I back out of the agreement? I no longer have the financial assets to start one. My “partner” claims he signed the agreement thinking it was an already existing company. However... Read more »
Honestly? Anytime a person engages in drafting their own legal documents without the aid of an experienced attorney, that person has made a mistake. You should meet with a business attorney now to see what, if anything, you are now facing that will be harmful to you and whether it can be... Read more »
Will I need to establish a small business.
If so, which is most economical, a sole proprietorship or partnership.
Who do I need to talk to?
You do not need to establish a business to self publish a book, but there are several advantages to to doing so. For instance, you can deduct businesses expenses you may have incurred in making your book from your tax liability.
Sole proprietorships, partnerships, and LLCs each have... Read more »
For instance a popular tweet such as a post by someone called @geraldinreverse: "well, well, well, if it isn't the consequenses of my own actions."
It got almost 300K likes and 140K retweets.
Is that phrase owned by @geraldinreverse or can I print that phrase on a shirt and sell it?
Depends

the name im choosing is [farcries LLC] but theres also a farcries entertainment LLC. was wondering if there will be any problems or consequences with the name im choosing
That name should be OK because it is distinguishable from the other company's name. Just having the same word in a company's name (farcries) is normally not enough to cause the Secretary of State to reject someone's Articles. The name needs to be different enough that a person on the... Read more »
