What is the name of your state? TX
Myself and a partner are looking at buying a company that is a C-Corporation. The company has 2,000 shares of stock of which 1,000 are allocated between two business partners. From reading on here it definatley makes more sense to purchase the companies assets and not the shares of stock from a liability standpoint. If we did that:
1. What would happen to the current 2,000 shares? Would both the current owners still have an investment in the company?
2. Could we allocate new stock?
3. Is it possible just to change completely the type of company it is now? Ex taking from a C-Corp to like a LLP?
We are definatley going to seek an attorney in this situation but we are just looking for these answers to see if it is even worth us pursuing. Thanks in advance for any advice I can get.
