Common questions about Business Law in Arizona

Answered by Arizona Attorney Search Network

How long do business contracts have a statute of limitations in Arizona?

Written contracts: 6 years under ARS § 12-548. Oral contracts: 3 years under ARS § 12-543. UCC contracts for the sale of goods: 4 years under ARS § 47-2725. Open accounts: 3 years. The clock starts when the breach occurs (or, sometimes, when it's discovered). Acknowledging the debt or making partial payment can restart the clock under ARS § 12-508.

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.

Do I need a lawyer to start a small business in Arizona?

For the simplest entity formation (single-member LLC, no investors, no real estate, no employees), you can file with the Arizona Corporation Commission yourself. For anything with multiple founders, outside investors, intellectual property, real estate, employees, or industry-specific licensing, an attorney's review of structure, operating agreement, and contracts pays for itself many times over by avoiding costly disputes later.
