Common questions about Business Law in Arizona
Answered by Arizona Attorney Search Network
Do I need to register a foreign business in Arizona?
Yes, if your out-of-state entity is 'transacting business' in Arizona under ARS § 10-1501 (corporations) or § 29-3702 (LLCs). Activities like maintaining an office, holding employees, signing contracts in Arizona, or owning real property usually require foreign qualification with the Arizona Corporation Commission. Mere isolated transactions, holding shareholder meetings, or owning bank accounts typically do not.
How do I form an LLC in Arizona?
File Articles of Organization with the Arizona Corporation Commission under ARS § 29-3201, designate a statutory agent (ARS § 29-3115), and adopt an operating agreement. Arizona does not require LLCs to publish notice of formation in most counties as of 2017, though Maricopa and Pima exemptions remain. Filing fees are modest, and Arizona does not require an annual report or fee for LLCs.
What is a buy-sell agreement?
A buy-sell agreement is a contract among co-owners of a business specifying what happens to an owner's interest upon death, disability, divorce, retirement, or voluntary sale. Common structures include cross-purchase (other owners buy the departing owner's share), entity redemption (the company buys it), or hybrid. Buy-sell agreements typically address valuation methodology, funding (often via life insurance), and triggering events.
