- Q. Hi, I recently moved to Connecticut from Florida. I have an LLC in Florida.
- A: Yes, you can still maintain a FL LLC even after you move to CT. Technically you should convert to a CT LLC or at least file a certificate to business in CT by obtaining a certificate of good standing from FL. You also need to check with the Department of Revenue Services in CT regarding tax issues you should be aware of. For instance, the first thing to find out is whther or not your goods or services are taxable.
- Q. Can I use a virtual address to form my LLC in Connecticut?
- A: Yes. The directions to filing provide as follows:
"PRINCIPAL OFFICE: Include street number, street name, city, state, and zip code. No P.O. Box."
--
Also, in Connecticut a limited liability company must list the name and address of a registered agent with a physical address (no post office boxes) in Connecticut. The registered agent must be available during normal business hours to accept important legal and tax documents for the business, so a Regus business office is acceptable as long as it accepts your mail as part of the monthly fee you are paying them.
- Q. I will like to appoint a new director to the board of a delaware c corp and amend bylaws.
- A: You have to look at the bylaws to see how and when directors can be added to the corporation. If the bylaws are silent on that matter, it may require a majority vote of shares held by the shareholders to increase the number of directors.
Do the bylaws all for annual appointment of directors or can the company call a "special meeting" and then vote in the new director? Is unanimous vote or majority vote required to appoint a new director?
So, the first step is to take a careful read of the bylaws regarding (1) what is required to amend the bylaws and (2) how many directors does the company allow for, and (3) what percentage vote is required to appoint directors?
