What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MA
I am involved in a startup company where multiple people are equity stake holders in the company.
The current corporation type is a single person LLC. The equity stake is defined within the operating agreement which exists between the primary owner and the minority equity stake holders. My gut tells me that the company should be switched to something like a multi-person LLC or an S Corporation. Is an operating agreement in this situation a legally enforceable document which can hold up in a court of law? In the company's current state as a single person LLC, are the minority holders at risk?
