Books on establishing corporate structures?

[AgaBoogaBoo]

I might be going into some sort of real estate partnership in the future and so managing the property, money, etc. has to be carefully planned out especially when it comes to who owns what and who has the different powers within the business. I'd say right now it's just a curiosity but I thought I'd go ahead and grab a book or two on this if anyone has some recommendations.

It doesn't have to be targeted at real estate specifically, but that's something I've been thinking about lately.

Check out NOLO Press books.

If serious money is involved, then maybe an attorney could be money well spent.

I would second NOLO books, they also come with CDs with sample docs. But I agree with axelfox that a lawyer would be a good idea if we are taking real money here...

Ok, I'll check those out. Someone in the legal profession would probably be consulted with however being knowledgeable in the area is still very useful.

Thanks guys

I'm not a lawyer (yet) but an LLC is often the best set up. It limits liability (if your company gets sued and you are not doing anything illegal) and it is also not a very complex set up in most cases.

Unlike a full corporation, an LLC does not require a formal board of directors (who can cause problems for small companies).

Yeah, that's what I've been going with myself in most of my operations and projects, at some point I will need to start studying more though.

Suggest you contact the careers office of the graduate school of business (MBA) at the biggest university close to you.

They almost certaintly have a job leads board (Classifieds) for their students & alumni.

Have them post your opening for either an

Unpaid Internship Position

or, if you can spare a few bucks, for a

Part Time/Project Position

to develop a proper business plan for your enterprise. That way you'll have a solid business paln you ccan show the bank for loan applications.
