"Yvenne is the most friendly, understanding, and polite attorney I've ever met! You'll feel like she's a normal everyday person who's very sociable. She also goes ABOVE and BEYOND to make sure your job proposal is properly researched, vetted, and correct before final delivery. This is not an attorney who uses AI Software and takes shortcuts, she pays attention to the details and helped me immensely. Definitely my most positive interaction with a Lawyer and on UpCounsel."

"Michael was very helpful, communicative, and thorough in helping us establish a 501(c)3, and we would definitely recommend his services. My wife and I recently started the process of forming a nonprofit, but we didn’t know of any lawyers who could help us set up the organization. We found Michael through an inquiry on UpCounsel; we picked him because he seemed very knowledgeable about the process, he responded to us promptly, and his quote was fair and reasonable. Michael walked us through all the steps we would need to complete, explaining what parts he would take care of and what we would need to do. He patiently answered all of our many questions quickly and respectfully, and he efficiently generated the forms we needed to submit. He sent us drafts of all the documents prior to submitting them so we could provide any necessary feedback. Once we’d finished the initial steps, he sent us a very professional binder containing our founding documents and a corporate seal. Once we received our tax-exempt status, he gave us clear guidance regarding the steps we would need to complete in years to come to maintain good standing as a nonprofit. Working with Michael was pleasant and productive, and we were very satisfied with the work he did on our behalf. Thank you, Michael, for all your help!"

If you’re planning on starting - or restructuring - a business in New Jersey, you’ll want to formally organize the business into a company. In New Jersey, the four basic options are: Sole Proprietorship, Partnership, Limited Liability Company, and Corporation. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Legal Form of the Business
As stated above, there are four basic forms that businesses take. They are as follows.

A sole proprietorship is the “default” for New Jersey businesses owned and operated by a single person. Sole proprietorships generally require less administrative hassle, as you don’t have to register as a business entity, execute various legal documents, or adhere to specific maintena

Par Value: What is it?
If you trade securities, you've come across the term par value.
Par value usually refers to the value of a bond when it's issued. Say a bond is issued at $90, then trades to $100. The par value is still $90, even though the bond's value on the market increased. Par value can also show the value of a stock at the moment the company created its founding document, the company charter.
Par can also refer to two currencies that have the same value. For example, if the Euro was equal to one dollar, the Euro would be "at par" with the dollar. While this is an acceptable meaning of par, the phrase "par value" is used in relation to securities and not currencies.

Burn Rate: What Is It?
Burn rate is how quickly a company spends its cash reserves before it generates positive cash flow. This rate is tracked each month, so if the burn rate for a company is $50,000, it means that the company is spending $50,000 each month.
The two types of burn rates are gross burn and net burn. Gross burn includes all of the money a company spends in a given month in order to run the business. Net burn is the amount of money that the company loses.
Let's say that a small startup spends the following every month:
- $6,000 for office space/rent
- $18,000 for employee salaries and benefits
- $2,000 on server costs
- $1,500 on miscellaneous
That means that each month, the company's gross burn rate is $27,500. However, if the company is producing some income, you can subtract that amount to get the net burn. So if the company earns $15,000 in the month, the net bur
