LEGAL FOUNDATIONS FOR BUSINESS SUCCESS
The set up and organization of your limited liability company does not only include the filing of Articles of Organization, but even in the case of a sole member company, we draft the appropriate Operating Declaration or Agreement so that as you move forward with your business you have everything required by your lender or needed to outline the business deal between you and your partners.
When you decide to incorporate your business, we will assist with the paperwork from start to finish. We will file the appropriate documents with the Secretary of State, draft Bylaws as well as all other legal documents needed for proper incorporation. We will help you maintain your corporate kit and assist with drafting Special Minutes or Annual Minutes as needed, or if preferred, we will set you up so that you may proceed on your own throughout the years to come.
Drafting an Operating Agreement before the business commences is the best way to make sure that the agreement between the members is clear. The Operating Agreement is a private agreement between the parties on how they wish to conduct their business arrangement. When things start to deteriorate between partners, most times it is too late to come to an agreement on how to proceed. Having a well drafted document allows the members to conduct business as planned and will include language on how the business is to unwind in the event of death, disability or disagreement between members.
A Shareholder Agreement outlines how the shareholders in a corporation will operate their business arrangement. It will outline how profits are shared, who is responsible for what part of the business operation and what will happen in the event of a disagreement, disability or death of a shareholder.
Whether your company is organized in Georgia or another state, it will need a registered agent named in order to conduct business in the state of Georgia. Lisa Shippel Law can act your registered agent for an annual fee.
