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.
For example, could Airbnb sue me if I created my own property rental app?

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

You will first need to look to the contract provisions to see what they say about arbitration. If the other party is nonresponsive, then you could likely set up the arbitrator, give them notice of the time and place of arbitration and if they don't show up then the arbitrator can give you a...

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.

You will need the help of a Patent Attorney. A google search will bring up several.
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.

Hi,
Sounds like a great place to eat. If the only thing you share is the recipe for the rootbeer, your father has nothing to worry about.
I would imagine that you will want to capitalize on some of the brand awareness that your father has. I would set up a licensing agreement... View More

First off, the big difference between LLC's and S Corps are the way that they are taxed and the formalities that have to be observed. They both offer the same liability protection. Some attorneys may argue that LLC's are relatively new and because they are relatively new, the body of... View More

An LLC is good for liability protection. If you feel like it is too much risk when there are several owners and their guests on your property, then it would be a good idea to create an LLC. This would limit your exposure to the assets of the business.

Is this an April Fool's joke? Probably, but I will play along. As long as you are trying to be a chiropractor or market that your services are medical services then you probably won't need anything except for a normal state business license and one for your city if it requires one.
