S corporations and LLCs with S corporation elections provide similar liability protection and federal tax treatment, passing income through to owners. However, S corporations pay annual franchise taxes that LLCs are not subject to. Both entity types allow for distributions to owners to avoid self-employment taxes. An LLC can also elect partnership tax treatment to defer taxes until cost basis is exceeded and allow tax allocations between partners. Due diligence for mergers examines ownership verification, and the acquisition may provide an opportunity to change the entity type for future tax advantages.
The document discusses different types of business entities including sole proprietorships, partnerships, S corporations, and C corporations. It notes key factors to consider when choosing a business entity such as line of business, number of owners/investors, control and management structure, use of employees or contractors, financing needs, tax implications, and liability issues. The types of business entities vary in their requirements for formation, ownership structure, liability, management and control, taxation, and other attributes.

Florida Homeowner\'s Construction Recovery Fund - A Homeowner\'s Last Resortwsunter
This document discusses the Florida Homeowner's Construction Recovery Fund, which provides relief to homeowners who receive a judgment against a contractor but are unable to collect due to the contractor's lack of assets. To qualify for recovery from the fund, a homeowner must obtain a judgment or restitution order against a contractor for damages, make diligent efforts to collect from the contractor, and apply to the fund within one year. The maximum individual recovery is $50,000 and the maximum annual aggregate per contractor is $100,000, up to a lifetime maximum of $250,000. The fund is intended as a last resort for homeowners who are unable to otherwise collect a judgment against a contractor.
Generally speaking, there are two types of bankruptcy. In a liquidation bankruptcy, debtors must surrender their property, which is sold, and the proceeds distributed to creditors. In return, all debts are permanently discharged. In a reorganization bankruptcy, debtors are allowed to keep their property. But the debtors must agree to an installment plan to repay creditors a portion of the amount they owe.
This document provides guidance for Indian and non-U.S. companies doing business in the United States. It discusses registrations and regulations, distribution of products, taxes, and initial advice for entering the U.S. market.

The document recommends hiring advisors, registering intellectual property, creating a subsidiary, and ensuring all contracts are complete. Forming an LLC offers flexibility with little capitalization requirements and secrecy around finances. In general, doing business in the U.S. is more simple, fast, and less regulated than in many other countries.
This document discusses common business problems that arise in estate administration, including family feuds over control of family businesses, failure to adequately plan for transferring ownership between generations, and unclear records of business ownership. It notes that without proper planning, family businesses often end up being sold to outside parties in order to raise cash to pay estate taxes. The document recommends establishing buy-sell agreements that resolve disputes over business valuation and control in advance, maintaining clear corporate records of ownership, and showing consistent profits to justify a high valuation if the business needs to be sold.
Filing for bankruptcy can provide relief from financial stress caused by factors like job loss, illness, divorce or poor money management that result in living paycheck to paycheck and constant late or missed bill payments. Some benefits of filing include gaining back control over one's lifestyle by restructuring secured debt and advancing bill payments to avoid harassment from creditors on mortgages, auto loans and credit cards.

Business Entities: classify, understand, choose, and manage.Berkman Solutions
Business entities are essential for starting, managing, and growing your business. This guides to business entities covers every major type, core concepts, criteria for choosing an entity, and legal entity management.
“Business entity” is a generic term with no legal significance per se. A business entity simply refers to the form of incorporation for a business. When a business incorporates, the law recognizes the business as a distinct entity which can enter contracts and acquire property among other rights and privileges.
There are, of course, some exceptions like sole proprietorships and general partnerships, which do not require incorporation. They also do not have the same right and privileges as incorporated legal entities.
There are four broad groups of business entities: limited liability companies, corporations, partnerships, and sole proprietorships. There are important flavors of each class of business entity.
Operational Excellence for Small BusinessesJenny Villier
The document discusses two cases, Robl Construction vs. Homoly and Scafidi v. Hille, that highlight issues that can arise when small, family-run businesses lack proper governance structures and record keeping. In Scafidi v. Hille, two siblings jointly owned three family corporations and land but ran the businesses more like sole proprietorships, with minimal meetings, documentation, or financial oversight. This led to disputes over profits, expenses, and fiduciary duties that were costly and complex to litigate. The court ultimately dissolved the corporations and divided the assets equally between the siblings. The document advises that engaging legal counsel earlier could have helped the siblings avoid prolonged litigation through establishing agreements and maintaining separate financial records.
This document summarizes common mistakes made with contracts and provides tips to avoid them. It discusses the importance of putting agreements in writing, negotiating all terms, and addressing critical elements like price, time, goods/services, and dispute resolution. Failure to have a written contract, missing key terms, or not negotiating can lead to misunderstandings and legal issues down the road. Getting advice from a lawyer can help ensure all parties fully understand obligations and resolve any issues that may arise.

The New Paradigm for Raising Capital the Sec's New Jobs Act RulesExpert Webcast
MAJOR TOPICS:
- Rule 506 of Reg. D, JOBS Act
- New regulatory regime for private offerings of unregistered securities
- Liability issues
- Importance of using broker-dealers as placement agents
- Current state of Crowdfunding rules
SUMMARY DESCRIPTION:
On July 10, 2013, the SEC adopted long-awaited amendments to Rule 506 of Regulation D under the JOBS Act of 2012, lifting the 80-year ban on general solicitations of unregistered securities offerings. Previously prohibited from publicly soliciting investors in private (unregistered) securities offerings, companies were relegated to soliciting investors with whom they had a “preexisting relationship.” Under the new rules, companies may now publicly solicit “accredited” investors in offerings exempt from SEC registration under Rule 506 of Regulation D. Many believe this rule change to be of greater significance than even the JOBS Act’s Crowdfunding exemption.

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...ABHILASH DUTTA
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.
