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.

In the forming of an LLC, the OA stated the shares are valued at 1% for $300. One member was supposed to pay $15,300 for 51% and the other member $14,700 for 49%. BUT each submitted $15,000 cashier checks. Is it still 51%\49% or is it 50-50 by default?

I’m from Louisiana and I need advice on contracts/ liability forms. If I should have commercial insurance before I even think about actually starting my business.
