The Big 10 of Business Planning

If you plan to form or manage a business entity in Texas, these are the questions you must answer before you begin.

  1. Are any of your investors foreign citizens or business entities?
  2. Will any members or shareholders of your business ever have spouses?
  3. What plans do you need if any members or shareholders of your business die or become disabled?
  4. Is there a chance any members or shareholders of your business ever leave?
  5. If your business is required to have a license to operate, which is issued to a person rather than the business, what is the plan if that person can’t hold the license anymore (death, incompetence, departure, license gets revoked or suspended)?
  6. Should your business elect to be taxed as something different than how it was formed?
  7. Does the purpose of the business lend itself to license or franchise of it or its assets like name, brand, system or software?
  8. What should you do to stop employees or owners from leaving and soliciting employees to join them?
  9. What should you do to stop employees or owners from leaving and claiming a right to whatever they created while they were a part of the business?
  10. Who is the affordable, likeable, easy to understand business lawyer who would treasure having a business relationship with you?
