I am in MO and planning to form an LLC. Many questions are bothering me. do I really need to worry about all these things before I satrt the business?
The concept behind this llc is similar to that of a ‘Registered Agent’ not at the state level but at the national level. My company will represent international companies by providing them a simple gateway to the USA clients. I shall provide a USA ‘mailing address’ for the international companies where USA clients can send their correspondence (to create an impression before the USA client that this company has some base/representation in USA) I shall only receive & forward business letters/faxes to and from these two parties. I shall also provide a 800 number to the USA client that will be forwarded to the international company.
In short I shall be a mailbox or phonebox between a USA and some international company.
My questions:
# If I have to represent several international companies at the same time the above way, do I need any special permits, licenses or state registration etc?
# Since I am merely a mailman or a phone operator do I need to worry about the liabilities before floating the company? (I am aware and willing to do this once I start getting a business)
# Can I use standard forms of representation available on internet to start with without paying to the lawyer? (Need important clauses of the contract that will protect me from any possible liability because of any problems by the international company)
# Can I advertise on the international clients on internet saying ‘Your representative in USA’ or ‘Your office in USA’ without being ‘liable’ representative.
# Will online/web acceptance of the contract be sufficient and legal or a signed contract is required?
# Can I start this as a home business?
# Is there any other legal issue to be addressed/state permissions required before I form an llc?
