I have a special place in my heart for Nolo... [Its goal] has always been to give the public enough information so that they can make informed decisions . New Orleans Times-Picayune Berkeley-based Nolo has been publishing easy-to-read, self-help books on personal finance and law since the early 70s. Forbes Nolo is a pioneer in both consumer and business self-help books and software. Los Angeles Times Mancuso presents this eighth edition which explains step-by-step how to document important Limited Liability Company (LLC) decisions, votes, and transactions, explains how to hold meetings and create the minutes, written consent forms, and resolutions necessary to record LLC business. Everything is included on Nolo's website on the companion page for this book. It is not necessary to read the book from cover to cover; he suggests reading chapters 1 and 2, which explain some basics about LLCs and the options you have for making decisions, then, armed with this information, the reader can decide whether to document the particular decision to be faced by (1) holding an actual meeting of your members and/or managers, (2) preparing minutes for a meeting that doesn't actually occur (paper meeting), or (3) obtaining the written consent of your members and/or managers to the action or decision at hand. The members and managers of smaller LLCs that are privately owned and have a manageable number of members (up to about 35) with employees (up to about 50) can work together without a great deal of controversy. Eithne O'Leyne, Editor, ProtoView Author comments: There are now over 2,500,000 LLCs in the United States. But many new LLC owners form their LLC and then have no idea how to vote on resolutions or document decisions, or even know what decisions they need to make. LLCs need to keep minutes of important decisions just like corporations. Without recording important business and tax decisions in minutes forms, owners risk paying out of their own pocket for business debts and losses. This book has minutes forms and resolutions for any decision an LLC will have to make, and explains how to use them. Every form a new LLC could need to record a decision is in this book.
