After reading the above carefully, Alana said she had read somewhere LLCs didn’t need to have meeting minutes. Jay explained that certain entity promoters had put that word out over the internet to sell LLCs to busy (or, as Jay said, lazy) business owners who did not want to be bothered by an annual requirement. In point of fact, many states now required written documents for LLCs to prevent the piercing of the corporate veil and imposition of personal liability. And, he noted, they certainly wanted to have meeting minutes if the IRS ever showed up.
After Sherri and Alana signed the required entity documents Jay discussed the need for a buy-sell agreement. A buy-sell was a contract that dealt with issues related to changes in ownership. Jay explained that especially when you had a 50/50 split in ownership, as the sisters probably would, and the possibilities for future deadlocks, it was important to have, as he called it, a will for the business. Unlike how it sounded, a buy-sell did not really deal with buying and selling things. Instead, a buy-sell provided how things would be dealt with if one of them left the business, got divorced, died or was disabled, events called ‘triggering events.’ Jay explained that the time to sign it was now, when everyone was optimistic and fresh into the business. A year or more down the road, when partners have their own jaundiced view of their contributions versus their other partner’s efforts, it was hard to get anyone to sign a buy-sell agreement.
