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.

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

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 hope this helps.

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.
