Legal Question in Business Law in New Jersey

LLC in NJ. Other States?

I am considering starting a website that matches manufacturers with stores in the US. Everything will be done online and through email. I will be paid a commission from manufacturers based on the total sales of a successful match. I would like to form an LLC. Do I need to register or do anything in other states. The manufacturers and chain stores are located all over the US.

Re: LLC in NJ. Other States?

A NJ LLC should be sufficient for now. The fact that you do business with entities in other States does not necessitate that you register in those States. However, if you were to have an office in another State, you should register as doing business in that State. In addition, if you should find it necessary to use the courts in another State, you may have to register there.

Give a call if you want some assistance in setting up the business. If you check out the firm's web site, you can see that we do a lot of that.

Re: LLC in NJ. Other States?

First, you have a nice idea but it is already being done by large companies such as Walmart and independents. You should investigate the marketplace before entering the business.

Also, you might be classified as providing "information services." This may be subject to sales tax in NJ. Therefore, you should consider setting up the LLC in another state.

If you have aquestion, please call me.

I hope this helps!
