11 Articles of Organization
In order to form a Limited Liability Company (LLC), Articles of Organization are required. The existence of the LCC begins upon the filing of the Articles of Organization by the Secretary of State.
The person or persons who execute the articles need not be members of the LLC, but such person will be called the "organizer" during the filing process. The articles include the designation of an Agent for Service of Process and a statement indicating whether the LLC will be managed by one manager or more than one manager or the members of the LLC. The articles may include a date on which the company is to dissolve.

12 General Partnership Agreement
A partnership agreement is a contract for two or more people or entities used to form a business partnership. The agreement sets forth the terms and conditions and rules regarding governance of the partnership. The agreement also describes the kinds of contributions each partner will make and set forth whether it will be an equal partnership or if one partner will make a larger contribution of money, or labor than the other partner(s).
This agreement provides for partner flexibility upon the withdrawal, death or other incapacity of a partner and allows for the remaining partners to either accept such partner's successor in interest as a partner or buy-out such partner's interest, as may be agreed by the partners. This provision prevents the dissolution of the partnership outright upon such event and gives the partners flexibility in dealing with such unforeseen events.

13 Bill Of Sale And Assignment
This is a Bill of Sale used to transfer assets to a partnership in exchange for a partnership interest. Partners often transfer assets in lieu of, or in addition to, cash contributions, in return for an interest in the partnership. However, please note that appropriate title transfer documents may also need to be prepared and submitted to the appropriate governmental entity if title to any of the property is maintained on record with that entity (for instance, DMV records of vehicle ownership, etc.). Also, consult an account regarding the tax implications of transferring assets to a partnership in exchange for a partnership interest, whether such transfer qualifies as a tax free transfer or otherwise.

14 Independent Contractor Agreement
An Independent Contractor is not an employee. Technically speaking a company is the client of an independent contractor. An employer may not dictate how, when, or where an independent contractor works. However, an independent contractor agreement is in place to set forth what is expected of the independent contractor, as well as the company, at the price, or rate, set forth in the agreement. An Independent Contractor agreement is important so that the two parties, employer/company and independent contractor, understand what the specifics of the project are that the independent contractor is hired to perform, and the time frame which the project is expected to be completed.
