Legal Question in Business Law in New Jersey

There is no good reason why you could not accomplish exactly what you intend here, but it needs to be thought through. If your intention is to no longer remain in business with each other directly then one of you should transfer your interest in the existing LLC to the other. Then that member should set up his own LLC or other entity. There are a number of ways you can approach the use of the existing LLC website, for example, your new LLC enters into an ad agreement for the privilege of continuing to use it. Your clients would be entering into separate agreements and the contracting entities should be made clear on your service agreements. It should always be clear to your clients exactly who they are doing business with and who is taking responsibility for the agreement and service they receive. You take some risk by sharing a website with another business you have no connection with. Should they breach an agreement it is entirely possible that they would name the website/domain along with any entities connected to it and you would now be hiring legal counsel to answer a complaint and submit a motion to dismiss, which can easily cost you into the thousands of dollars.

Before you take any action, I suggest that you consult with a lawyer in private and discuss your objectives in more detail. You can start by calling around to several for a free phone consultation, get some insights then pick the best fit to work with.

If you would like to discuss further over a free phone consult, feel free to contact me anytime that is convenient.

Generally speaking, the answer is yes. an LLC can offer multiple services that would be performed by multiple service providers. It would mean that you are going to continue to be partners, so you would need to work out the books (i.e. work out the finances) and make sure that if in the future you do want to separate and establish two different LLCs that it would be easy.

I can definitely help you with that. Call me anytime.
