WHAT IS A NEW JERSEY LLC?Return to Menu

The Limited Liability Company (“LLC”) is a hybrid entity that is very flexible and, depending on how many owners (known as “Members”) and what such Members elect to do, may be taxed as a partnership or corporation, if it has multiple Members, or as a sole proprietorship, if it has only one member, while providing limited liability protection for all of its Members. For federal tax purposes, an LLC, like a partnership or sole proprietorship, is a pass-through entity; thus, its income and losses are taxed only at the member level. However, all members of an LLC, like the shareholders of an S corporation, have limited liability for the debts and claims against the LLC. No member will be burdened with the personal liability.

The main advantage of the LLC is that it is not burdened with the ownership restrictions imposed on a small business corporation (also known as a Sub Chapter S Corporation.) An LLC may have more than 100 Members or as few as one. Its interests may be held by corporations, partnerships, Non Resident Aliens, trusts, pension plans and charitable organizations; the LLC may make special allocations, thereby avoiding the single class of stock requirement applicable to an S corporation; and it may own more than 80% of the stock of a corporation and, therefore, may be a member of an affiliated group.

The Members of the LLC become owners of the Company by putting capital (making a “Capital Contribution”) into the Company in exchange for a Membership Interest, which is expressed as a percentage. Typically, the allocation of profits and losses are proportionate to the Membership Interest. The Capital Contribution can be money, real estate, equipment, future service (“sweat equity”) etc., and if it is something other than money, it should be assigned a value agreed upon by the Members. For example, Bill and Mike want to set up a company to operate a retail athletic goods store. Bill puts in $51,000 and Mike will work 60 hours next year managing the store and his sweat equity will have an agreed upon value of $49,000.

The LLC is operated by Managers that handle the day-to-day activities of the LLC. The Managers may be all of the Members, some of the Members, or it may even be managed by a person or entity that has no ownership interest in the company. Since such a non-Member Manager will not share in the profits and losses, perhaps they will be paid a salary or commission as agreed upon in a Management Agreement.

For tax purposes, an LLC taxed as a partnership or a disregarded entity (similar to a sole proprietorship) may have advantages over a Subchapter S Corporation with respect to the amount of deductible losses. The amount of a Subchapter S Corporation shareholder's deductible losses is limited to the sum of the shareholder's basis in his stock and any loans from the shareholder to the corporation. In contrast, a partner can deduct losses in an amount up to the sum of the basis in the partnership interest, the allocable share of partnership income, and his allocable share of qualifying partnership debt.

How the taxes work is simple. For example, each of 10 individuals contribute $100,000 to a newly formed entity to acquire an office building. The entity borrows from a bank an additional $5,000,000 as the balance of the building's $6,000,000 purchase price. If the entity is taxed as a Subchapter S Corporation, each shareholder's loss deductions are limited to $100,000. However, if the entity is an LLC taxed as a partnership, each member can deduct losses up to $600,000 ($100,000 basis plus $500,000 share of the entity's debt). These losses may then be used by the individuals to offset other income they may have from other sources.

WORKERS COMPENSATION ALERT! In New Jersey a LLC is not required to have worker's compensation insurance as long as it only employs members of the LLC.

How To Build Your Business Return to Menu

Believe it or not, starting a business is more than just complying with regulations, at some point you have to go find customers! Building your business often gets lost when you are confronted with all of the other matters which must be taken care of. This should not be the case. Without customers you will not have a business for long! Two powerful business builders worthy of your consideration are below.
Service Agreement
- The Foundation for a Successful Service Business – You are LOSING $$$ without it!
The bedrock foundation of many service businesses is a customized written agreement entered into with its customers. Many franchises sold for tens of thousands of dollars are business formats revolving around a Service Agreement. The key with a Service Agreement is to make it work as a marketing tool offering the business services in the widest variety of formats to your customers. For example, a one-time use customer needs to be converted to a monthly, quarterly or annual type repeat customer. At Spiegel & Utrera we want to help you get, and keep, your customers while looking professional and at the same time maximizing each sale with a friendly service agreement. A Service Agreement starts at $367.95 up to $897.95 depending upon its complexity if ordered at the time of forming your LLC. We will prepare a draft of your Service Agreement and deliver the draft by fax or email to you for your review. Once you have had an opportunity to review the Service Agreement we will meet over the telephone to discuss the various aspects of the draft Service Agreement. Thereafter, Spiegel & Utrera will make changes to the Service Agreement to finalize it. Once the Service agreement has been finalized and delivered to you, you should take it to your printer to be printed and padded so it will always look professional and non-negotiable.
New Jersey LLC Operating Agreement
Tax Alert - Avoid Member Disputes with a Comprehensive Agreement
The way the LLC will be run is described in an Operating Agreement. The Operating Agreement defines the duties and responsibilities of the Members to each other and to the LLC.

A well-drafted LLC Operating Agreement will:

The agreement should be very thorough and anticipate common company problems so that the proper course of action is defined ahead of time rather than leaving Members “flying by the seat of their pants,” so to speak. A draft of this Agreement will be prepared as part of our service, so you may review the Agreement and make changes and discuss it with one of our Attorneys. Normally, the fee to prepare such a comprehensive agreement of this nature would be $1,500 or more. However, your cost is only $99.95 for a single member LLC and $249.95 for up to 4 members of a multi member LLC, additional members are $50 each, if prepared in conjunction with the LLC formation.

Dual Class LLC Operating Agreement  
The Dual Class LLC is a special type of LLC that follows proposed IRS regulations which allow an LLC to be deemed analogous to a limited partnership for Federal Income Tax purposes. The Dual Class LLC is structured to admit both active, management-providing members (“General Members”) in addition to more passive, capital-contributing members (“Limited Members”). In doing so, the members/owners acting solely as limited partners are not subject to the Self Employment (“SE”) tax. THE SELF-EMPLOYMENT TAX RATE IF CURRENTLY 15.3%. THE RATE CONSISTS OF TWO PARTS: 12.4% FOR SOCIAL SECURITY AND 2.9% FOR MEDICARE.
 
Here’s how it works. The Spiegel & Utrera, P.A. Dual Class LLC is divided as follows:

Class A General Member Units: The smaller manager class receives a priority preferred return of income (for example, a management or sales fee arrangement) that is contingent on the profitability of the LLC. As such, it may not be a fixed compensation amount or it will constitute a guaranteed amount, which is prohibited.

Class B Limited Member Units: This portion of the LLC membership interests is the cash-contributing members’ interest and is structured as a non-manager class qualifying for limited partner status. This class receives a cumulative preferred-priority return of profits based on their unreturned capital contributions, whereas the smaller active manager class would not.

EXAMPLE FOR A ONE MEMBER DUAL CLASS LLC
For example, assume in a single member Dual Class LLC with just one member, the member may be assigned as much as 66 2/3% of its ownership to the non-manager class qualifying for limited partnership status. This class then receives a cumulative preferred-priority return of profits based on their unreturned capital contributions thereby avoiding the SE tax on 66 2/3% of this members’ interest in the Dual Class LLC. The remaining 33 1/3% percent is subject to SE Tax as it would be assigned to the smaller manager class which would be assigned to the smaller manager class which would receive a preferred-priority return of income (for example, a consultant, management or sales fee arrangement that is contingent on the profitability of the LLC.) As such, it may not be a fixed compensation amount or it will constitute a guaranteed amount, which is prohibited.

EXAMPLE FOR A MULTI MEMBER LLC
For example, assume a Dual Class LLC with more than one Member. The SE Tax savings are at least equal to the One Member Dual Class LLC. However, the SE Tax savings may be as much as 100% for a Member depending upon the degree of active participation by that Member in the Dual Class LLC.

To make your LLC a Dual Class LLC requires a customized Dual Class Operating Agreement which is just $300 of ordered at the time of forming your LLC.

Special Purpose LLC Operating Agreement - Avoid Member Disputes with a Comprehensive Agreement
The way the LLC will be run is described in an Operating Agreement. The Operating Agreement defines the duties and responsibilities of the Members to each other and to the LLC.

A well-drafted LLC Operating Agreement will:

The agreement should be very thorough and anticipate common company problems so that the proper course of action is defined ahead of time rather than leaving Members “flying by the seat of their pants,” so to speak.

Memorandum of Operating Agreement
A Memorandum of Operating Agreement is designed to obtain maximum anonymity when disclosing the existence of an Operating Agreement to a third party. The Memorandum of Operating Agreement will include the name of the LLC, its principal location, its mailing address, its principal purpose, the Operating Manager along with specimen signature, any Vice Operating Manager(s) with specimen signature, the powers of the Operating Manager, election and tenure of Managers and Officers, if any, the names of the Members and Officers along with specimen signature and bank disbursement authorizations. The Memorandum of Operating Agreement is very thorough and anticipates common situations that may require the Memorandum of an Operating Agreement. However, your specific situation may call for a customization of the Memorandum of Operating Agreement, regardless, the price is the same. A draft of the Memorandum of Operating Agreement will be prepared as part of our service so you may review the Memorandum of Operating Agreement and make any changes and discuss same with one of our attorneys. Normally, the fee to prepare such a comprehensive Memorandum of Operating Agreement of this nature would exceed $800. However, your cost is only $99.95 for a Single Member LLC and $167.95 for up to 4 members of a Multi-Member LLC, additional members are $10 each, provided the Memorandum of Operating Agreement is prepared in conjunction with the formation of the LLC and the drafting of the Operating Agreement for the LLC.


LLC Management Agreement
- Providing Maximum Protection for Your LLC
Every LLC should enter into a written Management Agreement between the LLC and its Manager(s). The Management Agreement should be drafted in such a way so that it conforms with the provisions of the LLC Operating Agreement and, in addition thereto, it will:

Start-Up Essentials Return to Menu

Many new business owners don’t realize what is required to legally conduct business in New Jersey. The last thing you want is to lose your business because you didn’t know that you needed register a fictitious name. Below are some of the most common items that new businesses need in order to be compliant with the state of New Jersey and other services that you may find advantageous for your business.

Choosing a Name for Your Limited Liability Company

Choosing a name for your Limited Liability Company should be a well thought our process. Generally, a Limited Liability Company name may be adopted if there is not the same as or too similar to an existing name on the state Limited Liability Company records.

When determining name availability, Spiegel & Utrera, P.A. checks names only against names of limited liability companies registered in the state you are attempting to form your Limited Liability Company (e.g., a proposed limited liability company name is checked for availability only against other like limited liability company names) and only with the state agency responsible for limited liability company formations.

Names are not checked against state or federal trademark or service mark registrations nor against state or local fictitious, assumed or alternate business name registrations.
Bank accounts, uniforms, menus, vehicle signage and other business signage, a website, business cards, stationery, etc. should not be ordered and no financial commitments should be made until you know the name is available from the State and Federal, State and Common Law Trademark searches you have completed.

Avoid the ramifications of selecting a company name that is already in use by another and possibly prevent:

Selecting someone else’s company name can be a very expensive business lesson that can be avoided.
Avoid the problem of having you and your Limited Liability Company accused of Trademark Infringement and the possible litigation stemming from State and/or Trademark Infringement by allowing Spiegel & Utrera, P.A. to do the appropriate state and federal trademark searches as follows:

Federal Trademark or Servicemark Search and Attorney Opinion
A search of the United States Government's records including Marks that have been registered and are currently pending registration and an opinion as to the results of the search. Up to 3 words - $275. More than 3 words would be $50 per additional word.

The state search includes a thorough examination of Trademarks registered in a particular state and an opinion as to the results of the search. The price for a Trademark search is $99.95 per State for up to three words. More than 3 words would be $50 per additional word per state.

Common Law Trademark Search and Attorney Opinion
Search includes Marks that are in use but may not be registered with the United States Government or a State and an opinion as to the results of the search. The results of a Common Law Search can be very important because whoever uses a Mark first generally has a superior right to the name - $250.

Combo Search and Attorney Opinion
Combo search includes the U.S. Government, one State and Common Law search and an opinion as to the results of the search. This assures the most comprehensive investigation. The Mark must only consist of up to three words - $524.95. You receive a savings of $100 by ordering these searches now. More than 3 words would be $50 per additional word per state.

Therefore, if the corporation or LLC wishes to use any name other than its registered name, it must file the additional name with the State in order to operate under the additional name. A corporation or LLC can have as many additional names as it desires as long as it follows the proper registration procedure. By registering the additional name, the corporation or LLC may use its registered name and the additional name or names.

E.U. Safe Harbor Website Privacy Policy
The European Commission’s Directive on Data Protection went into effect in October of 1998, and would prohibit the transfer of personal data to non-European Union countries that do not meet the European Union (E.U.) “adequacy” standard for privacy protection. While the United States and the E.U. share the goal of enhancing privacy protection for their citizens, the United States takes a different approach to privacy from that taken by the E.U. In order to bridge these differences in approach and provide a streamlined means for U.S. organizations to comply with the Directive, the U.S. Department of Commerce in consultation with the European Commission developed a “safe harbor” framework. If your company will be doing business with customers in the European Union, the privacy policy with the U.S.-E.U.

How To Save Money on Taxes Return to Menu

One of the most misunderstood and least used benefits to new entrepreneurs are the tax savings offered to them. Although there are many ways that you can save money on taxes, you must be in compliance with all regulations and laws; otherwise you may find yourself losing your business instead of saving money. Below are some of the ways that you can save money on Taxes:

New Jersey Exempt Use Certificates
When your LLC makes a purchase that will be used for an exempt purpose under the Sales & Use Tax Act, your LLC must provide each vendor with an Exempt Use Certificate to be exempt from paying State or local sales taxes. The fee for a set of 6 reusable Exempt Use Certificates is only $35 when ordered in conjunction with the formation of your LLC.

New Jersey Purchaser’s Resale Certificates
State and local tax laws require that vendors have in their files properly executed Exemption Certificates given to them in good faith by all of their customers who claim New Jersey Sales Tax Exemption. We can prepare a set of Exemption Certificates for you to give to vendors from whom you intend to buy goods either for resale or export. The fee for a set of 6 reusable Resale Certificates is only $35 when ordered in conjunction with the formation of your LLC.
Sub Chapter “S” Tax Status Tax Alert - The Biggest Tax Loophole Available to New Entrepreneurs
Sub Chapter “S” Tax Status - The Biggest Tax Loophole Available to New Entrepreneurs
Since the LLC has more flexibility in the manner it can be taxed, it is strongly recommended that the LLC have at least two or more owners (members) at all times. The LLC may be taxed as a sole proprietor, a partnership, a disregarded entity, a regular corporation, or a Sub-S Corporation. However, when you have a single member LLC, if you do not elect to be specifically taxed as a corporation, the IRS taxes you automatically as a sole proprietor. This option is not in your best interest, as you will have to file Schedule C to your personal IRS Form 1040 tax return which will automatically create a higher chance of being audited by the IRS and you will not have the opportunity to take as many tax deductions as an LLC taxed as a corporation.

What Is A Subchapter S Corporation:

A Subchapter S Corporation meets certain requirements and elects to be treated as a “small business corporation,” by the United States Department of Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service and enjoys distinct tax benefits at both the Internal Revenue Service and the state where the corporation does business.

The Subchapter S Corporation is an attractive form of doing business because it combines the business and legal characteristics of a corporation with many of the income tax characteristics of a partnership. For flow-through of profits and losses to the owners, the Subchapter S Corporation is treated in a manner similar to a partnership. For other purposes, such as limited liability, distributions, redemptions and reorganizations, the Subchapter S Corporation is treated much like a regular corporation.

What are the tax benefits of a Subchapter S Corporation?

A regular Corporation is subject to federal and any applicable state Corporate Income Taxes. Therefore, profits are taxed first on the corporate level and then again at the individual level of the shareholders to whom the profits are distributed.

This double taxation could result in a combined taxation rate of 70% or higher! A SUB-CHAPTER S CORPORATION IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE CORPORATE INCOME TAX, SO THAT THE EARNINGS OF THE CORPORATION FLOW TAX FREE DIRECTLY TO THE OWNERS.

Additionally, a Sub-Chapter S Corporation will NOT BE SUBJECT TO THE SELF-EMPLOYMENT TAX on any additional corporate profits that are paid to you as dividends in your capacity as a Shareholder in addition to your reasonable salary. (THE SELF-EMPLOYMENT TAX RATE IS CURRENTLY 15.3%. THE RATE CONSISTS OF TWO PARTS: 12.4% FOR SOCIAL SECURITY AND 2.9% FOR MEDICARE.)

What are the requirements of a “small business corporation?” A small business corporation is a domestic corporation that:

• Is not an ineligible corporation (such as a bank, insurance company, possessions corporation or domestic international sales corporation);
• Does not have more than 100 shareholders (spouses and families are now counted as one shareholder);
• Does not have shareholders other than individuals, estates, certain trusts, or certain tax-exempt organizations;
• Has no nonresident alien shareholders; and
• Does not have more than one class of stock (i.e., has only common stock, not both common and preferred).

The Sub-Chapter S Corporation comes with all the necessary qualifying documents, including Corporate Resolutions and Special Stock Certificates.

US Citizen or Permanent Resident
If you are a single member LLC, and the single member is an individual who is a citizen or permanent resident of the United States of America, or a Sub-S Corporation, Spiegel & Utrera, P.A. can prepare the necessary documentation for your LLC to elect to be taxed as an S Corporation, in order to receive the maximum tax benefits available to you. The fee for our office to prepare all your documentation is $125.

Non US Citizen
If you are a single member LLC and the single member is an individual who is not a citizen of the United States of America, nor a Sub-S Corporation, our office can prepare the necessary documentation for your LLC to elect to be taxed as a Corporation. The fee for our office to prepare all your documentation is $75. If you wish to be taxed as a partnership, then we recommend that you consider adding another member, it could be a parent, a sibling, a child, or another corporation. The other member could have a very small percentage of ownership interest in the LLC and you could limit the second owner's ability to vote, it is therefore also important to prepare and enter into an Operating Agreement between the members and LLC to clearly state all the terms and conditions.

IRS Section 1244 LLC Membership Interests - Tax Savings for Nearly Every LLC Taxed as a Corporation
This is another powerful tax provision which can be used by almost all LLC’s taxed as a corporation, BUT, may only be accomplished with the original issuance of ownership interests in the LLC. This special provision of the Internal Revenue Code allows you to deduct as an ordinary loss, rather than as a capital loss, a loss on the sale, trade or worthlessness of the ownership interests in your LLC taxed as a corporation. The amount you can deduct as ordinary loss is up to $50,000 per year for a single person or $100,000 per year, if filing a joint return with your spouse. Generally, without 1244 Membership Interests, your loss would be limited to $3,000 for a single person per year or $6,000 per year, if filing a joint return with your spouse. An LLC taxed as a corporation that issues 1244 membership interests and elects to be an S corporation gives its members the best of both possible worlds from a tax stand point. The issuance of 1244 membership interests costs only an additional $50 when ordered with the formation of your LLC and comes with all the necessary documents, including LLC resolutions, 1244 plan and special membership certificates.

Effectively Controlling Your Business Return to Menu

Voting Trust – Keeping Control of Your LLC when there are Multiple Members
A voting trust is a device for combining the voting power of members. It is not unlawful for members to combine their voting membership interests for the election of managers so as to obtain or continue the control or management of an LLC. In order to avoid the invalidation of a voting trust, the applicable statutes should be strictly complied with. There are various situations in which a voting trust agreement may be used. It may be used when several members wish to vote their respective ownership as a unit. It also may be used for the special purpose of protecting LLC creditors. The general plan of a voting trust is controlled by the voting trust agreement; then the members endorse their membership certificates to the voting trustee. The voting trustee surrenders these certificates to the LLC and the voting trustee receives in return new certificates issued in the name of the voting trustee, and the voting trustee votes the membership interests as principal, rather than as agent as in the case of proxies. For tax purposes, the voting trust certificate takes the place of the membership certificate it represents. Tax transactions with respect to voting trust certificates are treated as transaction affecting the ownership. A voting trust is not a taxable association, because in itself it is not an enterprise for the carrying on of business for profit. Used correctly, the Voting Trust could be a useful tool for your LLC. The charge for Spiegel and Utrera, P.A. to form a Voting Trust for your LLC is only $767.95 if ordered at the time of forming your Company.

Membership Options – Control Your LLC while Raising Money
An option to buy membership interests gives the holder the exclusive right for a specified period of time to purchase the membership interest at the price and under the terms and conditions specified in the agreement. Although the option grantor is bound by the option and generally cannot revoke it, the option holder is not bound unless he exercises the option. Options are regarded as capital assets if the underlying property constitutes, or if acquired would constitute, a capital asset in the hands of the holder. The receipt of consideration for the option is not taxable until the option either is exercised or has lapsed. If the option is exercised, the consideration is treated as part of the selling price and included in computing the gain or loss in the sale of the membership interest. Since membership interest are generally a capital asset, gain or loss on the sale would be entitled to capital treatment, either long-term or short-term. The holding period for qualification for long-term capital treatment is more than one year. The seller’s holding period for the membership interest sold includes the period during which the option is outstanding. Upon the failure of the option holder to exercise the option, if the consideration is forfeited, the option grantor generally realizes short-term capital gain, but income is not realized until the time of forfeiture. An option holder’s gain or loss upon a sale of the option, or loss upon a failure to exercise the option, would be entitled to capital gain treatment. The holding period of the option will determine whether long-term or short-term capital gain or loss is realized. For this purpose, if the loss is attributable to a failure to exercise the option, the option is deemed to have been sold on the day it expired. If the option is exercised, the consideration for the option is treated as part of the purchase price and is included in the option holder’s basis for the membership interest purchased. The purchaser’s holding period does not include the period curing which the option is outstanding.

Membership options can be utilized very effectively by an entrepreneur, for example:

The members option can be an on-target management incentive or control device. Members options can be used in employment agreements, consultants agreements, incentive agreements, as means of raising equity capital or borrowing funds. Spiegel and Utrera, P.A. will provide the Membership Option service for your business for only $367.95 if ordered at the time of forming your LLC.

Asset Protection / How to Protect Your Business
Return to Menu

As a new entrepreneur, you are going to invest a lot of time and money into your business. It is imperative that you protect yourself and your business from anything that could go wrong. One of the keys to being a successful entrepreneur is proactively planning for the worst situation, not reacting to the situation after it has happened. Below are items imperative for the protection of you and your business.

Indemnification Agreement and Covenant Not to Sue - Don’t Take Chances: Protect Yourself from Personal Liability
We strongly recommend that you include special provisions in your Articles of Organization and additional agreements which trigger this important protection requiring the LLC to indemnify and hold harmless its Managers and Members from any actions they take on behalf of the LLC. If a Manager or Member is ever sued for actions taken on behalf of the LLC, these provisions require that the LLC be held responsible, as agreed upon by the Managers and Members and the LLC. These important provisions and agreements cost only an additional $75 if ordered at the time of formation of your LLC.

Members Restrictive Agreement for a Limited Liability Company - Avoid Unwanted Transfer of Membership
We strongly recommend you enter into a Member Restrictive Agreement. This agreement is entered into by the Members and the LLC to enumerate and describe the rights and obligations of the Members to each other and to the LLC. More particularly, it affords a right of first refusal where in the event a Member wants to transfer their Membership interest it requires approval and/or a buyout by the other Members.

A draft of this agreement will be prepared as part of our service, so you may review the Agreement, make changes and discuss it with one of our Attorneys. Please bear in mind that this Agreement is customized specifically for your LLC. Normally, the fee to prepare such a comprehensive agreement of this nature would be $1,500 or more. However, your cost is only $249.95 if prepared in conjunction with the formation of your LLC.

Member Divorce Protection Provisions in the Members Restrictive Agreement for a Limited Liability Company - Avoid the Unintended Spouse Member
Unfortunately, many eager entrepreneurs anticipate a successful business venture but never contemplate the “down side.” What happens if a member gets divorced? Will the membership interest remain with the member or get awarded to the spouse as part of the divorce settlement? What happens if member tries to convey or assign their membership interest to a spouse or former spouse to meet their obligations? A carefully drafted provision in the members restrictive agreement should afford a right of first refusal when a Member wants to transfer their membership interest by requiring a buyout of the membership interest by the other Members. Such a provision will protect the current members from potential ownership by divorced spouses or other possible sources of ownership conflict. For example, assume a company set up by husband John Smith, wife Pocahontas Smith, and son Al Smith. All are Members, and son Al is married to Patti Smith. What happens if Al and Patti Smith file for a divorce? Provisions in the Members Restrictive Agreement require that in the event of the filing of a divorce involving a Member of the company, a notice is sent to the other Members offering them a right of first refusal, which allow them to purchase Al Smith’s membership interest to avoid having Patti Smith as a member, especially after a nasty divorce. Furthermore, even if none of the Members want to buy the membership interest at issue, any transfer of membership interest would require unanimous consent of the other Members. Let us draft these special provisions to protect your company from divorce for an extra $75 when ordered with the Members Restrictive Agreement at the time of formation or $150 thereafter.

Avoid Probate – Maintain Control, Provide for Anonymity, Privacy and the Disposition of the Ownership of your Limited Liability Company Upon Your Death
Let Spiegel & Utrera, P.A. create an Ownership Trust while your Limited Liability Company is in the process of being formed. The Ownership Trust will own your Limited Liability Company, you will own the Ownership Trust. The benefits are many: (1) the ownership of your Limited Liability Company is held anonymously by the Ownership Trust; (2) the Ownership Trust is private and not filed in the public records; (3) your Ownership Trust may be modified, amended to revoked at any time during your lifetime so you may change the beneficiary of the Ownership Trust as many times as you like and, thereby, the ownership of your Limited Liability Company; (4) PROBATE IS AVOIDED and the ownership of the Limited Liability Company will be transferred immediately according to your wishes upon your death. The Ownership Trust is relatively inexpensive to form, $350 if ordered at the time of establishing your Limited Liability Company. The price includes one Trustee, one Successor Trustee and two Beneficiaries. Additional Trustees, Successor Trustees or Beneficiaries are $50 each. If not ordered at the time of establishing your Limited Liability Company, the Ownership Trust is $749.95

Avoid Probate - Transfer on Death
The Transfer on Death designation is an agreement entered into between a Member of the Company and the Company so that upon the death of the Member, a transfer of the Membership Interest owned by the Member would take place without going through probate. The Transfer on Death designation is possible because of the New Jersey Uniform Transfer on Death Security Registration Act. The charge for the Transfer on Death Registration documentation, minutes, resolutions and stock certificates is $350.00 if ordered at the time of formation of the Company.

State Trademark or Servicemark – Prevent copycats from confusing your customers and damaging your reputation.
A distinctive mark that customers associate with your products, services or website is very valuable. Registering your State of Nevada Trademark or Servicemark will prevent copycats from confusing customers and damaging your reputation. The State of Nevada Trademark or Servicemark registration process generally takes less than 4 weeks to complete. There are many reasons to register a State Trademark or Servicemark:

The charge for the State of Nevada Trademark or Servicemark registration, if done at the time of incorporating, is $167.95. This charge includes all government filing fees.

Start-Up Money for Your Business Return to Menu

Finding the money necessary to start your business is challenging. Unfortunately many new entrepreneurs don’t know how to find this money. Even worse, when they find money they don’t know how to properly document the transaction. Don’t let this happen to you. Review the options below on How To properly secure and document money for your business.
Lender’s Agreement & Promissory Note - Properly Document Money Lent to the Business
Initially an LLC needs a cash infusion. Additionally, the LLC may require a continuing advance of funds for some time. Its important to minimize the amount of money a member is required to pay for the membership in the LLC because the members could be held personally liable by the LLC and/or the creditors of the LLC for not contributing all the funds the members had initially agreed to contribute to the LLC. How does the LLC get the money? After the initial purchase of its membership interests, generally, the LLC has two choices for obtaining additional money: (1) members can contribute additional funds for their membership interest (not the preferred method as previously stated) or (2) loan money to the LLC. Lending money to the LLC is the preferred method to advance money to the LLC because the lender is seen as a creditor of the LLC. The lending of money to the LLC is accomplished with a Lender's Agreement and a Promissory Note. Both of these instruments together provide for an initial amount of a loan to the LLC and also provide for future advances of money the lender might make to the LLC. In the event of failure of the business, the loan will be fully tax deductible by the lender as a bad debt. The fee for the Lender's Agreement and Promissory Note, if ordered at the time of the formation of your LLC, is only $75.

Non-Voting Membership Interests - Control Your LLC While Raising Money
Allowing differences in voting rights is particularly advantageous to entrepreneurs who need to attract additional capital, but who also want to retain voting control over their LLC. For example, as a founding Member, you may want to have all of the voting membership interests so as to participate in the management of the LLC and control its operations, while transferring all of the non-voting membership interests to others so that they may share in the appreciation value and earnings of the LLC. Also, it’s likely you’ll want to protect yourself with a Members Restrictive Agreement. Seasoned business-owners will instinctually recognize the value of such an agreement. We’ll draft a special provision for your Articles of Organization and issue special certificates for non-voting membership interests. This item costs only an additional $74.95 if ordered at the time of formation.

Security Agreement for LLC - Protect Yourself if You Personally Funded the Loan for the Business
Once you have decided to use the Spiegel & Utrera, P.A. Lenders Agreement and Promissory Note, the next step is to collateralize the personal property assets of the company in favor of you, the lender with a Security Agreement. A Security Agreement is a contract between a lender and borrower. The Security Agreement gives the lender a security interest and the right to repossess personal property that a borrower has offered as collateral if a note is not paid per its agreed terms. This right is superior to all subsequent creditors provided the lien given by the Security Agreement is perfected. The Security Agreement available from Spiegel & Utrera, P.A. is complete and includes provisions relating to type of collateral being secured, address where collateral will be kept, executing further documents, events that shall constitute a default, assignment of secured collateral by holder, a listing of events that would constitute default by the borrower and the rights of the lender should the borrower default. Provided you have ordered the Spiegel & Utrera, P.A. Lenders Agreement and Promissory Note, the fee for the Security Agreement, if ordered at the time of forming your LLC, is an additional $75.

Perfecting the Lien Created by the Security Agreement
- Uniform Commercial Code
Liens against personal property are perfected differently than liens on real property. The use of the phrase “personal property” does not mean property owned personally by the owner of a business. Instead, the term refers to all property used inside or outside of a business (with the exception of real property) including equipment, furniture, inventory, etc. To perfect a lien against personal property used in a business, strict adherence must be followed pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code, documentation must be created, executed and filed with the appropriate government agencies. Once recorded, the Uniform Commercial Code makes a lien valid and serves as notice that the lien exists. Usually, the first recorded lien takes priority. Provided you have ordered the Spiegel & Utrera, P.A. Lenders Agreement and Promissory Note and the Spiegel & Utrera, P.A. Security Agreement, the documentation required to perfect the lien under the Uniform Commercial Code is $75, if ordered at the time of forming your LLC.

Which LLC is Best for Your Business Return to Menu

Selecting the type of LLC that best suits you and your business could be the most important decision you make. Don’t make the decision blindly. Below are different Limited Liability Company types that you can form. Read about which one and choose which one sets you up for the greatest success!
Dual Class LLC
- Raise Money for Your LLC without Losing Power
The Dual Class LLC is a special type of LLC that follows proposed IRS regulations which allow an LLC to be deemed analogous to a limited partnership for Federal Income Tax purposes. The Dual Class LLC is structured to admit both active, management-providing members (“General Members”) in addition to more passive, capital-contributing members (“Limited Members”). In doing so, the members/owners acting solely as limited partners are not subject to the Self Employment (“SE”) tax. THE SELF-EMPLOYMENT TAX RATE IF CURRENTLY 15.3%. THE RATE CONSISTS OF TWO PARTS: 12.4% FOR SOCIAL SECURITY AND 2.9% FOR MEDICARE. To make your LLC a Dual Class LLC requires a customized Dual Class Operating Agreement which is just $300 if ordered at the time of forming your LLC.

Here’s how it works. The Spiegel & Utrera, P.A. Dual Class LLC is divided as follows:

Class A General Member Units: The smaller manager class receives a priority preferred return of income (for example, a management or sales fee arrangement) that is contingent on the profitability of the LLC. As such, it may not be a fixed compensation amount or it will constitute a guaranteed amount, which is prohibited.

Class B Limited Member Units: This portion of the LLC membership interests is the cash-contributing members’ interest and is structured as a non-manager class qualifying for limited partner status. This class receives a cumulative preferred-priority return of profits based on their unreturned capital contributions, whereas the smaller active manager class would not.

EXAMPLE FOR A ONE MEMBER DUAL CLASS LLC
For example, assume in a single member Dual Class LLC with just one member, the member may be assigned as much as 66 2/3% of its ownership to the non-manager class qualifying for limited partnership status. This class then receives a cumulative preferred-priority return of profits based on their unreturned capital contributions thereby avoiding the SE tax on 66 2/3% of this members’ interest in the Dual Class LLC. The remaining 33 1/3% percent is subject to SE Tax as it would be assigned to the smaller manager class which would be assigned to the smaller manager class which would receive a preferred-priority return of income (for example, a consultant, management or sales fee arrangement that is contingent on the profitability of the LLC.) As such, it may not be a fixed compensation amount or it will constitute a guaranteed amount, which is prohibited.

EXAMPLE FOR A MULTI MEMBER LLC
For example, assume a Dual Class LLC with more than one Member. The SE Tax savings are at least equal to the One Member Dual Class LLC. However, the SE Tax savings may be as much as 100% for a Member depending upon the degree of active participation by that Member in the Dual Class LLC.

The cost of adding the additional features required of the Spiegel & Utrera Dual Class LLC is just $300 for up to 4 members, additional members are $50 each, if ordered at the time of forming your LLC and, as an added bonus, it includes the required Dual LLC Operating Agreement.

Dual Class Management Agreement - Required for Your Dual Class LLC
Every Dual Class LLC must enter into a written Management Agreement between the LLC and its Manager(s), the Manager(s) are generally Class A member(s) of the Dual Class LLC. The Management Agreement should be drafted in such a way so that it conforms with the provisions of the Dual Class LLC Operating Agreement and, in addition thereto, it will:

The cost of the Management Agreement is just $150, if ordered at the time of forming your Dual Class LLC.
Special Purpose Limited Liability Company for Self-Directed IRA Account - Take Control of Your IRA
The strategy for using a Spiegel & Utrera, P.A. Special Purpose LLC for Self-Directed IRA Account involves forming an LLC with the self-directed IRA as an owner (or "member") of the LLC. Funds are transferred to the LLC which, in turn, purchases and holds title to real estate. The creation of a self-directed IRA or IRA LLC enables you to choose what you would like to invest your money in. When you are the manager of an LLC, you have "checkbook control." That means that every time you are going to invest in a new property you don't have to have the custodian approve the transaction.

However, a special purpose LLC formed for a self-directed IRA owner has to comply with the Internal Revenue Code, Employee Retirement Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) and corresponding regulations. Such self-directed IRA owner is solely responsible for avoiding prohibited transactions and should seek the counsel of licensed attorneys and accounting professionals.

For example, if you, your wife and children have an existing LLC in which you are the only owners (e.g., 100% ownership by disqualified persons) then your IRA cannot invest in that LLC. You could, however, create a new LLC and have both your IRA and the existing LLC invest into it as founding members at the same time.

The cost of adding the additional features required of the Spiegel & Utrera, P.A. Special Purpose LLC for Self-Directed IRA Account is just $554.90 for up to 4 members, additional members are $50 each if ordered at the time of forming your LLC and, as an additional bonus, it includes the required Special Purpose LLC for Self-Directed IRA Account Operating Agreement.

Special Purpose Limited Liability Company for Self-Directed 401(K)
- Take Control of Your 401(K)
Why Limit your 401(k) investments when you can have self-direction? A strategy involves forming a single-owner limited liability company ("LLC") with a 401(k) Plan. Plan funds would be used either to purchase real estate or other assets directly or to create a holding company which in turn would purchase such assets. When you are the administrator of the LLC's 401(k) Plan, you have "checkbook control". That means that every time you are going to invest in a new property you don't have to have the plan custodian approve the transaction. You will want to contact a financial advisor to help you select and set up the right 401(k) Plan for you.

The operating agreement for your LLC would allow your self-directed 401(k) Plan to choose what you would like to invest your money in. The operating agreement for the Special Purpose Limited Liability Company for Self-Directed 401(k) Account has to comply with the Internal Revenue Code, Employee Retirement Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) and corresponding regulations.

As a result of such laws, the 401(k) Plan cannot invest in foreign-owned assets or transactions involving a "disqualified person". Disqualified persons include the 401(k) account owner, the spouse of the 401(k) account owner, the 401(k) account owner's descendants, ascendants and spouses of descendants. That means a father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, son, daughter, grandson, and granddaughter of the 401(k) owner are disqualified. However, a brother, sister, uncle, aunt or cousin are not disqualified. Also the court in Rollins V. Comm'r, T.C. Memo 2004-260, ruled that a prohibited transaction was created when an entity that was owned partially by an IRA made a loan to another entity that was owned (33%) by the IRA owner! Of course, you should seek the counsel of licensed attorneys and accounting professionals before proceeding.

The cost of adding the additional features required of the Spiegel & Utrera, P.A. Special Purpose LLC for Self-Directed 401(K) is just $554.90 for up to 4 members, additional members are $50 each if ordered at the time of forming your LLC and, as an additional bonus, it includes the required Special Purpose LLC for Self-Directed 401(k) Operating Agreement.

What You Need if You are Hiring Workers:
Return to Menu

If you are planning to have anyone work for your company, whether as an employee or independent contractor, you must make sure that you are in compliance with all Federal and New Jersey laws. Below are the most common items that you will require when hiring workers for your company.

Employment Agreement - Get the Most Out of Your Employees
If you are using employees in your business, it is important to have a written Employment Agreement to document the conditions of Employment. An Employment Agreement can be very advantageous for a business and should be required for all employees, whether new or existing. It creates a clear understanding of the arrangement between the employee and the LLC and provides protection for the business. The Employment Agreement also contains other important provisions:

The Employment Agreement is prepared in such a way that you can use it over and over again to avoid additional costs in the future. By having this Employment Agreement, the LLC is given substantial clout in preventing an employee from joining a competitor, or competing against the LLC and disclosing business secrets to anyone. The Agreement may be re-used by the LLC as it hires additional employees, the cost of the Employment Agreement is just $150.

Employee Manual
When you hire employees in your business, it is important to have an Employee Manual to comprehensively spell out the policies of your business. Included within the Employee Manual are such topics as “Employment at Will”, Disability, Harassment and Discrimination, Standards of Conduct and the various rules relating thereto, Corrective Action and Termination, Wage and Salary Policies and Employee Communications. For a list of the Table of Contents of the Employee Manual, click here. The Employee Manual is intended to be a source document used at the business and would be updated by the business from time to time based upon its experiences with various situations. The preparation of the Employee Manual for your business costs only an additional $349.95 when ordered with the formation of your limited liability company and initially comes to you for review so you may have an opportunity to make any revisions before the Employee Manual is finalized by Spiegel & Utrera, P.A. and delivered to you electronically so you may print it as needed from time to time.

Employee Benefits and Policies
- Protect Yourself from Employee Disputes with a Comprehensive Policy
If you are using employees in your business, it is important to have written Benefits and Policies. Let us prepare your Employee Benefits and Policies. Unlike the Employment Agreement, the Employee Benefits and Policies creates an understanding of the entitlements of the employee relative to the policies of the business and provides protection for the business. The Employee Benefits and Policies will be customized for your business and are designed to cover:

By having the customized Employee Benefits and Policies, the business has clearly communicated to its employees the Employee Benefits and Policies in effect at the business and how the Employee Benefits and Policies are to be followed so that there are no surprises. For example, relating to an employee who leaves the business without giving adequate notice who then would only be entitled to be paid at the minimum wage for any time due and owing and forfeiting any vacation days, sick days, commissions, incentive compensation and/or bonuses.

The Employee Benefits and Policies may be re-used by the business as it hires additional employees. The cost of the Employee Benefits and Policies is just $167.95 if ordered now with the formation of your company.

Employee Warning Notice
Using an Employee Warning Notice can be a very effective management tool. Usually it is cumbersome to discipline an employee, situations do not always resolve themselves and frequently result in a verbal warning, however, if the situation repeats itself, this may call for a written Employee Warning Notice. The notice is designed to give a clear explanation of the issues involved which may cover a multitude of situations such as:

The Employee Warning Notice form is customized with the name of your business and, if ordered at the time of formation of your company, is just $49.95.

New Jersey New Hire Reporting
– Required by Law
All New Jersey employers are required to report basic information about employees, who are newly hired, rehired, or who return to work after a separation of employment. You must submit a report for each newly hired employee. Failure to report new hires within 20 days of their hire date may result in civil penalties. There may be a $25 fine per each newly hired employee or, if the State determines there is a conspiracy between employer and employee not to report the penalty can be up to $500 per newly hired employee. We can provide you with a package of 6 New Hire Registration Certificates for $35. When ordered with the formation of your LLC the documents are customized with your LLC’s information, and you may re-use them for each person you employ.
Independent Contractor Agreement
- What Your Business Must Have if Using Independent Contractors
There are many reasons for using Independent Contractors, however, simply verbally stating that a worker is an Independent Contractor is not enough according to the IRS. Certain criteria must be met. The IRS considers 11 factors in three specified areas: Behavioral Control, Financial Control and Type of Relationship. So, before you engage the services of an Independent Contractor, it is essential that you document that relationship with a written Independent Contractor's Agreement, otherwise the IRS could hold your LLC and you personally liable for the Independent Contractor's Income Tax, Social Security, Medicare Tax and Federal Unemployment Tax, which should have been withheld. As a signatory on the check used to pay the Independent Contractor, you could be held personally liable for these taxes. The Independent Contractor’s Agreement also contains other important provisions:

We can provide an Independent Contractor's Agreement that covers all the legal requirements and many business advantages for your Company for only $150 if ordered at the time of forming your LLC.

Sexual Harassment Prevention Policy
If you are using employees in your business or if your business has customers it is important to have written Sexual Harassment Prevention Policy. In order to protect your business from liability for such sexual harassment claims, Spiegel & Utrera, P.A. recommends that your business adopt a written sexual-harassment prevention policy and distribute it to employees. The policy will include:

By having a customized Sexual Harassment Prevention Policy, your business has clearly communicated to its employees that your business will not tolerate Sexual Harassment by employees to other employees and your customers. The cost of your customized Sexual Harassment Prevention Policy is just $349.95 if ordered now with the formation of your company.

Labor Law Notices – New Jersey Employers Obligation to Maintain and Report Records

If ordered at the time of forming your LLC, your New Jersey Labor Law Notice poster package would be $74.95.

Daily/Weekly Time Record
It is imperative for every business to maintain accurate payroll records. Accurate payroll record keeping begins with a Daily/Weekly Time Record which is authenticated daily by the employee and signed for certification weekly. This timecard also spells out the company’s policy relating to unauthorized absences and how they can be grounds for immediate termination. Avoid the possibility of any claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act and any applicable state statutes, utilize Daily/Weekly Time Records. If ordered at the time of forming your company, the fee for a pack of 6 the Daily/Weekly Time Records, which may be duplicated for continuous use, is $49.95.

Notice of Acknowledgment of Pay Rate and Payday
Businesses that hire employees but do not utilize employment contracts, should utilize a Notice of Acknowledgment of Pay Rate and Payday because it makes it very clear the amount of pay the employee is to receive and when the employee will be paid. The Notice of Acknowledgment of Pay Rate and Payday is designed to delineate the employees pay rate, regular payday, how pay is calculated, whether weekly, bi-weekly or other and overtime pay rate, if any. If ordered at the time of forming your company, the fee for a pack 6 of the Notice of Acknowledgment of Pay Rate and Payday, which may be duplicated for continuous use, is $49.95.

Authorization for Release of Information for Employment Screening

How To Build Credit and Credibility for Your Business Return to Menu

As a new business two items vital to your survival are credit and credibility. Customers feel secure dealing with a credible business. Potential investors and other lenders are more comfortable providing capital to a business with good credit. But how do you build credit and credibility for a business? Two of the easiest ways are discussed below.

System for Award Management (SAM) Number 
SAM is web-based, US government-wide application that collects, validates and disseminates business information about the federal government’s private providers in support of the contract awards, grants and electronic payment processes. You must complete your System for Award Management (SAM) Registration in order to work as a federal contractor or to be able to apply for federal grants. At Spiegel & Utrera, P.A. we can help you register to do business with the US government. To complete your SAM Registration, you must first have a D&B Number and a Federal Tax Identification Number. If ordered at the time of forming your Limited Liability Company, the fee for your System for Award Management (SAM) Registration is $249.95.

D & B Number - Start Building Your Business Credit Immediately
According to Dun & Bradstreet, the D & B number is widely used by both commercial and federal entities and was adopted as the standard business identifier for federal electronic commerce as early as October 1994. The D & B number was also incorporated in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) in April 1998 as the United States Federal Government’s contractor identification code for all procurement-related activities. The D & B number is also known as the D-U-N-S® number and remains with the company location to which is has been assigned even if it closes or goes out of business. With that in mind, it is important to have a physical location for your business when obtaining the D & B number. D & B also states that the D-U-N-S® number also “unlocks” a wealth of valued-added data associated with that entity, including the business name, physical and mailing addresses, trade styles (fictitious name, assumed name, alternate name or DBA), principal names, financial, payment experiences, industry classifications (SICs [Standard Industry Classification] and NAICS [North American Industry Classification System]), socio-economic status, government data and more. The D-U-N-S® number also links members of corporate family trees worldwide. If ordered at the time of forming your company, Spiegel & Utrera, P.A. will obtain your D & B number, also known as your D-U-N-S® number, for $50. If ordered later, the charge to obtain the D & B number, also known as your D-U-N-S® number, is $75.

Lease / Agreement Review Return to Menu

Lease/Agreement Review – Protect Yourself BEFORE You Sign
Avoid costly mistakes, always, always, always have any type of Contract/Lease or otherwise legally binding agreement reviewed by Spiegel & Utrera BEFORE you sign it. We offer Consultations at all of our offices and over the phone. For your convenience, and at no obligation to you, you can fax us the documents that need to be reviewed at (800) 520-7800 and an attorney can advise you over the phone.

Our staff has many years of experience representing Tenants. Having your lease reviewed BEFORE you sign on the dotted line can save you thousands of dollars.

In our review we address issues such as:

Business Purchase Review: Asset Purchase – Generally Liabilities are NOT Assumed
When assets are acquired, the purchaser buys all or specified assets of the selling entity and may assume none, some, or all of the liabilities of the business. An asset purchase may be attractive to you since you may be able to pick and choose the specific items desired and can attempt to avoid assuming debts and liabilities of the selling entity. An asset acquisition is also designed to reduce your exposure to possible unknown or contingent liabilities. When assets are acquired, appropriate documents must be prepared in order to effectuate the transfer of title to each particular asset which is being transferred. This can involve a great deal of paper work and may require approvals and consents from various other parties, depending on the entity which is being purchased. We recommend faxing any agreement BEFORE you sign to (800) 520-7800, at no obligation to you, and an attorney can advise you over the phone.

Franchise Agreement Review
– Is That Franchise Too Good to be True?
A franchise is a method of distributing goods and services by licensing a business idea or concept to another. The "franchisor" is the legal owner of the franchised business' concepts and ideas, including names and logos. The "franchisee" is the individual or entity that purchases the right to use these concepts and ideas from the Franchisor. Studies reveal that franchised businesses experience lower default rates than independent businesses and generally have a somewhat easier time securing financing because the Franchisor typically has an established trademark and goodwill, as well as marketplace experience. But is a franchise worth the cost and restrictions? Many new entrepreneurs incorrectly believe that purchasing a franchise will lead to immediate success and profits with little to no risk. This is rarely the case. When considering a franchise there are many aspects that you need to examine. One good indicator of the potential success of a franchise is to compare your start-up cost with the past advertising and promotional expenditures of the franchisor. For example, a fast food franchise that has a start-up cost of $50,000 where the franchisor has invested $500 million in advertising and promotion would probably be a better purchase than another fast food franchise that has a lower start-up cost but the franchisor has only invested $10 million in advertising and promotion. Likewise, remember that higher price does not necessarily mean less risk and lower price does not mean greater potential reward. You must review all materials and disclosures carefully and seek legal advice. Although franchises usually require up-front fees and are heavily regulated by Federal and state agencies because of their inherent risks, a franchisee operating under one trademark can achieve levels of brand awareness, market penetration and purchasing power that business people operating individually could not ordinarily achieve. Generally, a franchise agreement grants to the franchisee a limited license and right to use and operate a recognizable outlet within a defined territory by utilizing a pre-existing business system and proprietary marks. The franchise agreement allows the franchisor to carefully control the obligations and responsibilities of the franchisee. It is imperative to have the agreement reviewed by an attorney BEFORE you sign it. The attorneys of Spiegel and Utrera, P.A. have extensive experience in Franchise Agreements and will review your Franchise Agreement. Just fax your agreement to (800) 520-7800, at no obligation to you, and an attorney can advise you over the phone.

In our review we address issues such as:

A franchise is an excellent way to get started as a new entrepreneur, but it does not guarantee success. You must have a Franchise Agreement that works to your advantage. Let Spiegel and Utrera, P.A. review your agreement and get your franchise started on the path to success!
