Choosing a Business Entity

Many contractors are particularly confused when it comes to making a decision about what kind of business entity to choose (if any) for their business. Massachusetts offers a number of different options for contractors, and they would be well-advised to seek out the advice of an attorney and an accountant when starting out. A friend and colleague, JT Mann has set up a blog to address just this issue. You can view his blog at http://brazilianbusiness.typepad.com

In addition to offering advice to businesses, he focuses on the specific business concerns of Brazilians in the United States and Brazilian companies doing business in the U.S. and vice-versa.

As JT says, spending some money up front to set up your business properly can prevent a number of problems in the future.

Hi, Atty. Goldman! Last month, my cousin, Steve just started his business. As far as I know, he has business partners. Since it's a new business, they wanted to start right and that is why they sought the advice of a business lawyer (Colorado). The lawyer is very accommodating. From the laying out the business foundation to the actual business decision-making, he's there to guide them.

I'd like to help Steve, so I'm doing my own research online on how they can effectively manage their business. I've found out that most businesses need the expertise of a lawyer for it to run effectively and efficiently. So, hiring the Colorado business attorney is one of the best business decision they have made because they're guarantee that their business is in good hands. Thanks for sharing this informative post!

Mark Paskell first posted this at his blog,  http://www.thecontractorcoachingpartnership.com/Blog-Contractor-Coaching--Construction-Business-Coach-EPA-RRP-Lead-Rule/ , but I think it is so important that I wanted to post here as well.  Make sure all of your contractors have worker's compensation policies if they have employees.  If not, you may be held accountable if someone gets injured on the job.  Bravo to the government of MA for making this information available to the public.

Terminating the Contract-The Homeowner

When can a homeowner terminate a contract? That should be determined by the contract, but if it is not, the law in your state will govern. However, one should also use some common sense to decide when the time has come. If the contractor has stopped showing up, then he has abandoned the job, and the homeowner has the right to mitigate damages by hiring someone else to finish the work. If the contractor has failed to pull permits, or done something illegal, or blatantly in violation of the contract (substituting inferior materials, for example), the homeowner does not have to stand by and accept it. What about when the homeowner just isn't happy with the work? That is a more tricky issue. Some homeowners have unrealistic expectations about what things should cost, or are not understanding when an unforseen problem arises. Homeowners should voice their concerns to the contractor and give him a chance to address the issue. If after numerous attempts at repair the problem continu
