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!

Worker's Compensation Information Available Online At the Massachusetts Department of Labor Website

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. Here is a brief excerpt from the Massachusetts Department of Labor website;                                       Patrick - Murray Administration Launches  Free Web-Based Tool Will help Public Verify if Businesses have Workers Compensation Insurance Policy Boston, MA - The Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development (EOLWD)...

The Lead-Based Paint Renovation, Repair and Painting Law Goes Went Into Effect on April 22, 2010

Homeowners who are considering doing a renovation must know that if their homes were built prior to 1978, their contractors are required to follow certain procedures if they are going to disturb more than 6 interior square feet of paint or 20 exterior square feet of paint.  This law requires that the general contractor must become certified with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and that the contractor himself take an eight-hour class in order to become a certified renovator and learn lead-safe practices that contain lead dust. Although the EPA claims that it will be doing a publicity campaign to inform homeowners about the Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule (RRP Rule), I have heard very little about it outside of construction circles.  So, I feel that it is important for me as a construction lawyer to educate the public about this rule. First of all, the preparation and education needed to comply with the law are going to cost the contractors more money.  T...
