In the software world, you always sign a contract that assigns the IP to the employer. Without it, the person who originates the idea owns it. No contract, no reassignment. You may want to do a bit of research before you speak. |

Transferring inventory into LLC LLC's are pass-through entities. They do exist though, even for tax purposes. They just pay no taxes directly, all profits are passed through to the owners. I am not going to argue with you. It is not an accounting trick, it is just a way to separate out the LLC from personal finances. |

Transferring inventory into LLC You make an excellent point. Assumption is the mother of all...... But, in the US it is correct. I have been the part of spinning off several companies from others. Anything transferred into the new company can be paid out as though you had invested cash. Then, the tax liability is transferred to the individual or parent company who has the invoices to deduct that from their income. It is a net-zero transaction from a tax basis. |

Distributing Windows virtual appliances Unless you have a list of many different and obscure dependencies, I believe you are overthinking things. .Net is pretty standard fare, so is Java. If you want to make it truly super easy for them to try it, make it a web app. It cannot get any easier than that. Can you give a few more details about what you are trying to do and perhaps we can help more? |

Distributing Windows virtual appliances Those dependencies can be stated a prerequisites and your installer can check for them before installation. That is not really a reason to not go the installer route. I have installed lots of programs over the years that have pre-reqs for installation. Are you marketing globally or locally? If you have a somewhat localized market, you could always have demo machines to be used for test deployments. This would also have the added benefit of getting you in the door and talking to the customer to sell to them. Think of the problem the other way around, is there another way to solve it? |

Alternative to expensive legal contract review? " You can't afford to pay for a lawyer today, but you can't afford not to have a lawyer's blessing today, either." I would change that to, You can't afford to pay for a lawyer today, but you can't afford not to have a lawyer's blessing tomorrow, either." It may be a few thousand dollars in cost today, but it could cost you millions in the future. The idea and the execution are a good portion of any business, protecting both is equally important. You need to do the legal work on any deal. Scrounge the money however you have to. |

What should I charge for web designs using CMS? I completely disagree with reducing your hourly rate just because you are doing work in CMS and not static HTML+CSS. Your time is worth the same amount. We are not 503c's. If you expect to make a certain amount per hour, charge it. If you are working with CMS and it takes you less time to get it done, that is where the savings to the client comes in. If you want to charge the same amount whether it is CMS or raw coded HTML, the client will not know the difference and the savings for them will be in being able to manage their own content. There really is no wrong answer to this. |
