A corporation is a legal entity that is granted certain powers by the state.

It is owned by shareholders who share in the profits and losses of the corporation. It is guided by directors that act sort of like a legislature and decide important business decisions on a periodic basis. These decisions are carried out by the president of the corporation and the other officers such as the secretary and treasurer. There are many advantages to incorporating.

Effectively Controlling Your Business

Stock Options

An option to buy stock gives the holder the exclusive right for a specified period of time to purchase stock 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 stock. Since stock is 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 sellerÆs holding period for the stock 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 holderÆs 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 holderÆs basis for the stock purchased. The purchaserÆs holding period does not include the period curing which the option is outstanding.

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

Stock is given to an employee, but if he leaves the employ, the corporation has the option to repurchase the employees stock at fixed or variable price.
Stock in the corporation is sold to raise needed capital, but the corporation has the right to repurchase the stock in the future.
For whatever reason a person would like to be a shareholder in the corporation but not now, an option to purchase stock is purchased from the corporation.

The stock option can be an on-target management incentive or control device. Stock 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 Stock Option service for your business for only $367.95 if ordered at the time of incorporation.

Voting Trust

A voting trust is a device for combining the voting power of shareholders. It is not unlawful for shareholders to combine their voting stock for the election of directors so as to obtain or continue the control or management of a corporation. California Statutes limit the duration of voting trusts to a period of ten years. 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 shareholders wish to vote their respective stock as a unit. It also may be used for the special purpose of protecting corporate creditors. The general plan of a voting trust is controlled by the voting trust agreement; then the shareholders endorse their stock certificates to the voting trustee. The voting trustee surrenders these certificates to the corporation and the voting trustee receives in return new certificates issued in the name of the voting trustee, and the voting trustee votes the shares as principal, rather than as agent as in the case of proxies. For tax purposes, the voting trust certificate takes the place of the stock it represents. Tax transactions with respect to voting trust certificates are treated as transaction affecting the stock. A voting trust is not an association taxable as a corporation, 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 corporation. The charge for Spiegel and Utrera, P.A. to form a Voting Trust for your company is only $767.95 if ordered at the time of incorporation.

Non-Voting Members

Depending on the level of participation of the organizers of the non-profit corporation, you may wish to have non-profit corporation members that participate but refrain from voting. WeÆll draft a special provision for your Articles of Incorporation. This item costs only an additional $74.95 if ordered at the time of Incorporation.

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 incorporation.

Security Agreement for LLC

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.

Lenders Agreement & Promissory Note for Non Profit Corporation

Initially a non profit corporation needs a cash infusion. Additionally, the non profit corporation may require a continuing advance of funds for some time. How to get the money? A non profit corporation generally has two choices for obtaining additional money; (1) members of the non profit organization or others make cash donations or contributions to the non profit corporation or (2) members or others lend money to the non profit corporation. Lending money to the non profit corporation is the preferred method to advance money to the non profit corporation because the lender is seen as a creditor of the non profit corporation. The lending of money to the non profit corporation is accomplished with a Lenders Agreement and a Promissory Note. Both of these instruments together provide an initial amount of a loan to the non profit corporation and also provide for future advances of money the lender may make to the non profit corporation. In the event of failure of the non profit corporation, the loan will be fully tax deductible by the lender as a bad debt. The fee for a Lenders Agreement & Promissory Note for your non profit corporation, if ordered at the time of incorporating, is $75.

Lender’s Agreement & Promissory Note for Limited Liability Company

Generally, members of an LLC must note in their LLC Records book their initial capital contributions to determine their membership interest in the LLC. We strongly recommend that our clients minimize contributions made into their LLC since the possibility exists that they could be held personally responsible for failure to make that initial capital contribution. One of the ways to put additional money into the LLC and still have a leg up on creditors is to enter into a lender’s agreement and promissory note. This allows Owners to designate funds advanced to the company as loans instead of capital contributions. By executing a Lender’s Agreement and Promissory Note in conjunction with the formation of your LLC, you can allow for initial and future advances of funds to the LLC and these funds would be considered money owed to the members by the LLC instead of being considered capital contributions. The fee for a Lender’s Agreement and Promissory Note for your LLC if ordered at the time of organizing your LLC is only $75
