			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-512" style="border: 0px initial initial;" title="MyIndianaLLC - Logo1(bvp)" src="http://indianastartup.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/MyIndianaLLC-Logo1bvp1-300x58.gif" alt="MyIndianaLLC - Logo1(bvp)" width="300" height="58" />Today I launched a new a couple of new websites, one of which is <a href="http://myindianallc.com">myIndianaLLC.com</a>. Over the past year, a good deal of my solo legal practice has been driven by the various blogs and sites I maintain on the internet, including this one.  One thing I have learned is that not everyone that finds me wants a &#8220;traditional&#8221; experience with an attorney.  They know what they want in terms of legal advice or documents.  They want it quick, and they want it to be affordable.  They don&#8217;t need or want to meet face to face.  They don&#8217;t want to visit an office.  They don&#8217;t want broad representation.  Some of them need an <strong>LLC </strong>formed.  Some of then need a power of attorney.</p>
<p>myIndianaLLC.com caters to the needs of these people.  By using carefully designed, interactive questionnaires that help me quickly assemble documents, I am able to form and organize an <strong>Indiana Limited Liability Company</strong> at a fraction of the cost that some other attorneys charge. In fact, the prices on myIndianaLLC.com are right on par with non-<strong>attorney</strong> legal form sites such as LegalZoom.com. Keep in mind that LegalZoom.com is not an <strong>attorney</strong> and may not give you legal advice &#8211; I can.   Not to mention that myIndianaLLC.com will form your <strong>Indiana LLC</strong> and return all of your documents to you in either 1 or 3 business days, depending on which package you purchase.  You get an<strong> Indiana LLC</strong>, prepared online by an<strong> Indiana LLC Attorney. </strong></p>
<h3>So what do you get?</h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 13px;">A </span><span style="font-size: 13px;"><strong><a href="http://myindianallc.com/category/single-member-llc/">single member LLC </a></strong></span><span style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 13px;">starts at $400.  A </span><span style="font-size: 13px;"><strong><a href="http://myindianallc.com/category/multiple-member-llc/">multiple member LLC</a></strong></span><span style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 13px;"> starts at $600.  You get:</span></p>
<ul style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;">
<li><strong>Articles of Organization that have been filed with the Indiana Secretary of State (the filing fee of $87 is included in your price!).</strong></li>
<li><strong>A Certificate of Organization from the Indiana Secretary of State.</strong></li>
<li><strong>A Single Member Operating Agreement.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Organizing Resolutions of the Members or Managers.</strong></li>
<li><strong>A Membership Interest Certificate, evidencing your ownership interest in your new Indiana LLC.</strong></li>
<li><strong>A memo with instructions on what to do with your documents, how to apply for an EIN, various state reporting requirements, and advice regarding how to maintain the limited liability protections provided by your LLC.</strong></li>
</ul>
<h3>How Does it work?</h3>
<p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 1.5em; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;">Follow a simple process to get started:</p>
<ol style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 1.2em; padding-left: 2em; margin: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;">
<li style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 20px; list-style-type: decimal; list-style-position: initial; list-style-image: initial; padding: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;">Choose the <a href="http://myindianallc.com">Indiana LLC</a> package you would like to purchase.</li>
<li style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 20px; list-style-type: decimal; list-style-position: initial; list-style-image: initial; padding: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;">Register for an account (<em>subject to terms of use).</em></li>
<li style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 20px; list-style-type: decimal; list-style-position: initial; list-style-image: initial; padding: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;">Purchase your Indiana LLC package.</li>
<li style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 20px; list-style-type: decimal; list-style-position: initial; list-style-image: initial; padding: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;">Fill out our easy online questionnaire</li>
</ol>
<p>Once you complete the questionnaire, the documents associated with your <strong>Indiana LLC</strong> will be generated and sent to experienced <strong>LLC </strong><strong>attorney</strong> Brian V. Powers for review.  We will review them, follow up with any questions, file the appropriate documents with the Indiana Secretary of State, and when everything has been completed, we upload your completed documents to the site where they will be available for your download.</p>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 228px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Why are online legal services fast and affordable?</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 228px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Its the technology of course!  By using the latest in online document automation technology, your documents are prepared quickly without the need to a paralegal or legal secretary to key in your information.  Our technology is smart too – it knows how to assemble your document based on the answer you provide.  Answers are collected online.  Payments are collected online.  Documents and advice are delivered online (and by phone from time to time).  Most lawyers waste a lot of time and money on expensive offices, unnecessary staff &amp; overhead, and client meetings.  Not here.  We focus on you and your legal needs – which saves you time and money!</div>

<h3>Compare Us to Others – A Licensed Attorney vs Legal Forms Providers</h3>
<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-510 alignleft" title="applesoranges" src="http://indianastartup.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/applesoranges-300x161.jpg" alt="applesoranges" width="300" height="161" />I challenge you to find a better value anywhere. In fact, here is a link to the “leading” online document-preparation service: <a href="http://legalzoom.com" target="_blank">LegalZoom</a>(tm).  I put that link there hoping you will click on it, and knowing that you’ll be back.  I spend a lot of time fixing the mistakes they, and other non-attorney document preparation services, make.  The advantage of using us – you’ll have the advantage of a real lawyer personally preparing your <strong>LLC</strong> documents and forming your <strong>Indiana limited liability company</strong>, instead of some non-attorney clerk on the other side of the country.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are <strong>starting a business</strong>, there are a number of things you need to consider when you are in start-up mode, beyond what you might normally think of (i.e. the business name, business location, sales and marketing&#8230;etc).  From a legal perspective, here are a few things you should carefully consider:</p>
<ul>

<li>If there will be multiple owners (i.e. <a class="zem_slink" title="Shareholder" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shareholder">shareholders</a>, partners or members), how will control of the business be structured?</li>
<li>How much and how often will the business owners be paid?</li>
<li>How will business records be maintained?</li>
<li>Will the business hire employees, <a class="zem_slink" title="Independent contractor" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_contractor">independent contractors</a>, or a mix of the two?</li>
<li>What type of  / how much <a class="zem_slink" title="Liability insurance" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liability_insurance">liability insurance</a> will the business need?</li>
