To explain simply, I recently started a family business with my family. We do this full-time, we are a logistics transportation company. We don’t have any official written documents that we give customers to sign or anything like that. But to ensure that we’re properly compensated, we take half... View More

I don't know how a judge would rule in a civil lawsuit. I don't know if you have done anything illegal, but your post does raise some questions. I am not sure what services you promised. How does traffic become an issue in a 1,800 mile trip? How can they simply refuse service? It seems... View More

It depends on how ownership of the patent is structured, and the terms of the investment.
For example, investors often require that the inventor assign the patent to a company. The inventor will presumably own shares in the company. When the investor invests, then the investor owns shares... View More

It would be wrong for your boss to buy furniture then sand the companies name off and put his name on it and sell it as his own. This would be quite easy to identify. Is there something you are leaving out?

I am not quite sure what you are asking. Perhaps you could provide more specific information. "Entities" and "state investment funds" are vague.

The business would be massage therapy and I would be renting space from a salon in town. I want to make sure I am establishing the business correctly and charging the right amounts for tax purposes and filing my taxes appropriately.

You should consult directly with a business law firm as this is much more complicated than can be fully answered on an internet forum like this.

This question is way too vague. Can you embezzle from a company holding money that belongs to you and is owned 100% by you? Very unlikely.
My question with this is can someone legally “hire” for work under the title employee without ever expecting or receiving compensation from their employer. And can NDA be introduced in those working terms?
answered on Apr 8, 2020
If you hire an employee, you will need to comply with the federal and state wage and hour laws with regard to compensating that employee. You should consult an employment law attorney in your area for advice.
A "Domestic Corporation" is defined as a small privately held corporation that operates exclusively in the United States with no business in international commerce? TRUE or False

Your true or false questions are quite irritating. We are lawyers, not high school students. False. A domestic corporation means a corporation operating in the state where it was incorporated.
Generally, owners of a corporation "members" are prohibited from filing lawsuits against the corporation? True or False
answered on Dec 24, 2019
Your assumption is totally incorrect. Owners of a corporation are called shareholders. Owners of an LLC are called members.
