I have a couple different ideas/companies that I am working on and would love some input from people on forming an llc. Any do's and dont's I should look out for?

As of write now I am going to have 2 DBAs under this llc each DBA is me partnering with a different developer to deliver me a product/application. I have basic agreements in place between them as far as cost and revenue splits.

Since you are having partners, make sure that you have a legal and official business model and operating agreement. That's really all you need to cover your ass. The actual formation with the state is very simple.

thanks. Ive been reading up on and have begun drafting an operating agreement.

Can I limit partnership in the other DBAs? Can I be specific about who was what right to what profits?

You can. You can even have separate operating agreements for each dba

My brother and I set up an LLC. Depending on the type of business you have, it may be better to incorporate in another state.

We were just creating a web company, so we incorporated in Wyoming because it was super cheap and there are no taxes.

Yeah I'll be delivering some hosted applications so perhaps I need to look at Wyoming. Doesn't really matter where we are.

I was an LLC. Just used legalzoom and they were fine.

But it was tax advantageous to set up as an S-Corp, pay myself a salary and then take distributions. Saves like $6k a year so not earth shaking but still. That is where I am now.

I guess what i am saying is investigate other corporate structures and find a really good tax attorney.

filing is the easy part. business expertise is what is really required. consult a cpa. talk w/ the other partners about their expectations. DO EVERYTHING ON THE FRONT END. also consider registering as an s corporation, which offers many of the benefits of incorporation w/o the negatives, such as pass-through taxation and different classes of stock.

wait to you get to making more dinero for an LLC. s-corp as happy said is the more prudent move first and move up. LLC's are good if you have the ability to write off equipment etc as well as depreciation or utilizing pass thru.

passive income is something else to consider. then ya got general partner's and all that jazz.

do the s-corp to get your feet wet and build your own portfolio/cache, then re-evaluate from there.

      Why do people think Bryce Young won this game yesterday?

      By Mage · Posted

      Who is "they"?  Who in the media still argues that Bryce Young could reach the levels that people thought he would before the draft? I mean, nobody is going to come outright and bash the kid.  By all accounts he's a good dude and I think that is why you don't see the media come after him like they did Zach Wilson.

      It started during the Denver game after that first drive. i don’t think the panthers got a first down again until the fourth quarter.

      QB 2026 (For the Young Haters)

      By Mage · Posted

      The Panthers will finish with at least 7-8 wins.  So that leaves them with only two "smart" choices in my opinion: 1. Sign a reasonably priced free agent QB and see if they are better than Bryce Young in training camp - The issue is there will be very little options.  There is almost no way the Colts let Daniel Jones walk.  Rodgers, Flacco, and Wilson will likely retire (and is Wilson better than Bryce anyway?).  Winston is under contract with the Giants for another year.  That leaves Mariota, which I'm all for, but the Commanders will make a big push to keep him given Daniels' injury history.  Outside of him, there is literally nobody else. 2. Stick with Bryce Young for one more year - Nobody wants this to happen, but the Panthers won't be in a position to draft one in the first round and it isn't a strong class to begin with.  Mendoza, Simpson (and do we really want an Alabama QB?), and Moore will likely all be off the board by the time we pick.  Bryce isn't good, but we are still 5-4.  I'd rather continue to build the rest of the team than reach for a QB.  Then we could set ourselves up nicely in 2027 to make a splash play if we choose.  This is how we should have approached years past; stuck with Kyle Allen or Sam Darnold or Teddy Bridgewater and kept building the team until we were ready to make a splash.  But every year we panicked and did something stupid. There is the idea you could throw a dart at a guy in the later arounds, but IMO this just isn't a good QB class and odds are it will be a wasted pick.  I still think we need a lot of depth on the defense.  I'd rather focus there.
