Is she an owner of the business or just an employee? If she is an owner than every time you take an owner's draw she needs an equal amount distributed to her. I would have thought that the divorce decree would have addressed this issue. If it hasn't addressed this issue, then here are... View More

You can hold the property in your own name or in the name of the LLC. When renting out property, it is often a good idea to place the property in your LLC and then do business with the tenants as an LLC. This includes having all payments go directly to an LLC account created with its own tax ID... View More

It may even speak to a situation where you are disallowed occupation of the property due to some repair work and what their duty is to... View More

Here’s one way, assuming the LLC is member managed:
NAME OF LLC
By its member, Name of Member
By. _________________
Your typed name
Your title
The idea is to make it clear that the member signs on behalf of the LLC and you sign on behalf of the member.

If you are signing the articles of organization, then the S-corp manager would sign in their capacity as a manager.

For example, could Airbnb sue me if I created my own property rental app?
answered on Jan 30, 2023
The answer depends on a few things. First, if you copy a product, you can sometimes get sued for breach of Patent or Copyright. There are several companies offering similar services, so it is unlikely they could sue you for offering the same or similar services. But if you reverse engineer their... View More

A Utah attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. Not all questions are picked up here, but you could try add the categories "Civil Rights" and "Employment Law." That could give better chances of a response. Good luck

It is not necessary to register in two states. In Utah, you can register a new business without revealing the names of the owners. To do this, you will need help from a third party like an attorney or registered agent services.
The newly created company will need an address, contact info,... View More

No,
If anything, this would be a civil matter. A cop will not get involved in this capacity. If she feels her claim is strong enough, she will sue you. Until then just ignore it and or block her number if she continues to harass you.
I hope this helps.

The father died in 2012, but due to personal circumstances, the probate was opened in 2020. Now the stock value increased. Which price of the stocks should be considered for estate taxation: at the date of death or at the date i collected it?
answered on Oct 12, 2020
The date of death value. Even though the stock didn't transfer, your right to the stock activated at his death.

I'm in Utah and a sole proprietor. There is no legal issue against me, just asking as I'm trying to figure out ways to give back to my community right now.

The answer is most likely, "yes". I am not sure what your services are and you may have different regulations imposed if you are a Doctor or something like that not to mention contractual limitations if you have any way. Sounds like you don't if you are a sole proprietor.... View More
A close friend and I are trying to start a business. It's based around an iOS app with services in the Pet Industry. We are trying to choose a business structure, and are unsure of which to pick. We are currently looking between an LLC or LLP. Is this the right choice for us?
answered on Jun 5, 2020
LLC's are simpler. Unless you need to split up liability between you and your friend or one of you is only a passive investor, I would recommend an LLC.
