An Indenture Agreement, also known as an Indenture, is a formal contract between a bond issuer and a bondholder that describes the bond and amount at issue, and specifies the legal obligations of the bond issuer and the rights of the bondholder, such as the time period before repayment, amount of interest paid, if the bond is convertible (and if so, at what price or what ratio), if the bond is callable, and the amount of money that is to be repaid. A typical indenture agreement can be structured to include the following articles. Each article should be broken into paragraphs addressing specific issues within the broader article.

Article I: Definitions and Incorporation by Reference. This article should lay out the definitions of the terms used in the agreement. It should also list any other agreements that are incorporated by reference into the indenture. Finally, if necessary it should describe any rules of construction applicable to the agreement; for instance, this section could clarify that an accounting term not otherwise defined has the meaning assigned to it in accordance with General Accepted Accounting Principles, a.k.a. GAAP.

Article II: The Notes. This article should describe in detail the rules governing the issuance of the bond notes. What bond notes are at issue? What type are they? How are they registered with the SEC? What agent will be utilized to effectuate the official transfer? When is the date the bonds mature, and under what circumstances can they be called? Can they be replaced with other notes? What is the rate of interest? Under what circumstances can they be cancelled? These questions should be addressed in Article II.

Article III: Redemption and Offers to Purchase Notes. Redemption is the repayment of a debt security or preferred stock issue, at or before maturity, at par or at a premium price. Most indenture agreement will provide for an opportunity for the bond issuers to redeem up to a certain percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the bonds at any time prior to the maturity date. Sometimes a certain event must trigger this right of redemption. Upon redemption, the principal amount plus interest up to the redemption date must be paid.

Article IV: Covenants. The agreement should list specific covenants in detail, promises that each party makes to the other. These covenants could address issues relating to the payment of notes, reports, certificates of compliance, dividends, incurrence of indebtedness and issuance of preferred stock, asset sales, transactions with affiliates, business activities, offers to repurchase the bonds upon change of control, limitations on sale and leaseback transactions, events of loss or change of ownership, audits, insurance, and countless other areas.

Article V: Defaults and Remedies. This article should cover issues relating to events of default, acceleration, and waivers of past default. It should also address limitations on lawsuits, if any, placed on bondholders, the rights of bondholders to receive payment, and issues relating to collections’ suits by the trustee.

Article VI: Trustee. A trustee is always involved in the issuance of bonds to bondholders. This article should talk about the role of the trustee, including his or her duties, rights, and obligations. When is the trustee obligated to give a report to bondholders? When and how is he or she liable for the failure of the bond issuer? If necessary, when and how should the trustee be replaced? Who is eligible to be the trustee? These issues should be addressed in this separate article dedicated to the trustee.

These are the most important provisions that must be included in an indenture agreement. Note that an indenture is usually a long, complex agreement laying out in great detail the rights and duties of bond issuers and bond holders. Miscellaneous provisions addressing communication by holders of notes to other holders, the liability of directors and officers of the issuing company, governing law, severability, and other boilerplate contract provisions must also be included to round out a complete and enforceable indenture.

If you’ve been doing your research about cash gifting, undoubtedly you’ve witnessed the recent explosive growth of cash gifting videos, cash gifting articles, and cash gifting advertisements on the major Classified Ad websites (Craigslist.org, Backpage.com, Kijiji.com, SalesSpider.com, AdlandPro.com and USFreeAds.com).

You may be tempted to think that the cash gifting market is over-saturated. Is it? Let’s have a look.

From any number of sources across the Internet, you will come across a figure of 30 million people online who are interested in starting a home business. It’s one of those figures that’s out there, floating about, where it’s hard to pinpoint the original source.

We want to ask ourselves, of course, how accurate is that figure?
What if it’s way off– say by 50%? That would leave us with 15 million prospects interested in finding financial freedom through a home business,

But let’s be a little bit more skeptical. What if the figure is off again– by another 50%? That would leave us with 7 1/2 million online prospects. Want to get tough again? We’d have 3 1/4 million prospects remaining.

Even with close to a 80%-plus margin of error on the estimated 30 million potential home business entrepreneurs, there’s no shortage of prospects to match with a cash gifting activity. But, if you’re still not convinced, there’s other ways of evaluating the marketplace.

Consider MLM, multi-level marketing, which has been around for as long as anyone can remember. When seeking online opportunities, people are inevitably attracted to multi-level marketing.

Let’s face it– the ever-expanding pyramid structure of MLM makes for a nice visual presentation. Unfortunately, every MLM program carries with it approximately a 90% failure rate. Worse, most people who fail at multi-level marketing hop from one MLM opportunity to another, reluctant to give up their dream of financial independence.

Except for the lucky successful few at the top, an MLM participant experiences various levels of frustration: failure to recruit for his/her downline, unpredictable drop-offs from the ranks of those they have worked hard to recruit, bleeding pockets from having to purchase bogus products on a monthly basis,..

If you’re guessing that every MLM participant is open to new and better opportunities, you’re on the right track. Every MLM participant is a likely prospect for a cash gifting activity.

Still think the cash gifting marketplace is over-saturated? Think again.

Cash gifting’s recent phenomenal growth is only a sign of better things to come. The best cash gifting programs available offer a linear 1up cash distribution structure that far surpasses the complex matrices and paltry commissions of multi-level marketing.

Other opportunities that plague people trying to better themselves offer no solutions.

Additionally, cash gifting programs dispense with the burden of purchasing bogus products on a continuing, never-ending basis.

People want to participate in home opportunities that actually work when properly marketed. Expect growth in the cash gifting marketplace, and and ever-widening base of prospects eager to learn about the many benefits of enrolling in a cash gifting activity– specially yours!

The Texas limited liability company is an extremely flexible and easy to maintain business vehicle for a business in Texas. It is important when forming an LLC in Texas that it is properly formed strictly in compliance with Texas LLC requirements. Know the essential steps so you can avoid the mistakes commonly made during the formation stages.

You do not want to face the hassles and delays of a rejected filing with the State of Texas. The best way to avoid this is to make sure that your filing documents contain everything required by the Texas requirements.

PAYING THE PROPER FEE TO THE PROPER AGENCY

A common cause for a rejection is paying the wrong amount for the filing or making the check out to the wrong state agency. This is an easy one to avoid.
Texas currently charges an initial filing fee of $300 but other charges are typically added depending on how you submit your filing. Review the specific details prior to making your payment.

UNACCEPTABLE TEXAS LLC NAME

A second cause for a rejection is if your filing requests a name for the Texas limited liability company that is not acceptable to the Texas state agency. The Texas LLC requirements mandate that an LLC name not be the same as or deceptively similar to another name being used by another Texas legal entity.

Texas is infamous for its comprehensive list of name rules. When it comes to whether a name is deceptively similar to another name, Texas leans on the side of rejecting names that resemble another name. There is a laundry list of name related rules that must be strictly complied with. Plus, the agency has a lot of discretion in making this determination.

Important key here is to make sure your proposed name is available prior to submitting your filing.

REQUIRED INFORMATION

A third cause for a rejected filing is submitting documents with incomplete information. Texas LLC requirements as set forth in the laws address matters such as the proper method of submission, rules regarding what forms you prepare and submit, and detailed information about the Texas registered agent and registered office.

Another unique aspect when forming an LLC in Texas is that the state requires the public disclosure of the initial member names and addresses for a member managed LLC. If the entity is going to be managed by managers, then the initial manager names and addresses are required to be disclosed.

The above discussion covers the major factors causing rejected filings when forming an LLC in Texas. After the state accepts a filing and provides the official formation documents, there are certain recommended actions you should follow to preserve the liability protection and other benefits provided by a Texas limited liability company.

After forming an LLC in Texas, get the right education for operating and maintaining your business entity.

Do you remember the thrill you had as a young person when you discovered that you had the ability to exchange a burgeoning skill (or incredibly hard work) for cash? Maybe it was the widow Jenkins down the street who wanted her shed cleaned out. Maybe it was Mr. Rowley who needed his lawn mowed. Perhaps it was Mrs. Lane who needed someone to watch her children while she and Mr. Lane attended a company event.

It could be that someone first asked you if you’d be willing. For some privileged youth the opportunity came at the hands of others who were willing to part with cash, but they needed someone they could afford. The end result was the consumer asking the seller to sell, but in that single act a door opened and with it came a brilliant discovery that a young person did not have to live by allowance alone.

One successful experience led to a sporadic desire to part with a little labor in exchange for the ability to conduct commerce. You remember – you wanted even more money. If you were like many you would often count the accumulating cash and dream big dreams. Perhaps you were like others who simply couldn’t wait for any future purchase. You had to spend your money – and now. You’re mom or dad would mumble phrases like, “Money, just burns a hole in his pocket,” or “Why can’t she learn to save her money.”

In cash deprived youth it can almost feel like a spigot has been released when a payday comes and the need to consume can be overwhelming.

Some of that joy can be pushed down over the years as you settle into a career that is daily. The focus moves away from the job of individual job creation and the strain of life places a subtle feeling of drudgery into the act of creating wealth.

You know what that’s like – punch in at nine, fill your time, punch out and then go home. The monotony of the daily grind can cause temporary amnesia for those days of discovery that seem far removed from life in the 21st century.

The dynamic of remembering may be what allows many traditional workers today to begin looking at moneymaking ideas as a means of renewing a passion for life. It may not be that they are entirely dissatisfied with their lives, but they may feel a bit like a car hopelessly stuck in mud. The wheels are spinning, but they are going nowhere.

It’s amazing to see how many individuals who are fifty and better who are remembering what it was like to be their own boss, if only for a brief window of time, during their youth. That memory ignites something inside and has given a multitude of dreamers an opportunity to reengage a passion for work and life. Usually this change of mind is about more that money alone.

There may always be the fear that dreaming isn’t safe, but that fear should be tempered by the fact that a little risk and a little reward can somehow let you see life differently.

Moneymaking ideas are plentiful and you may have a few rolling around in your mind right now. What prevents you from taking the same steps you did as a young person to develop a product or service for which others will exchange money?

How is an LLC in Va taxed on its income? The answer is it depends on how the owners want it to be taxed. For those starting a Virginia limited liability company, if you learn requirements, you have one of three choices for income taxation.

PASS THROUGH TAXATION

The first option for tax structure of an LLC in Va is pass through taxation. Under this option, the Virginia limited liability company itself does not owe any taxes. The profit of the business is calculated and then the members of the LLC pay the taxes on such profits. It is personal income to them and taxed at their individual tax rates.

The actual mechanism and procedure for paying taxes varies based on whether the LLC in Va has one member or more than one member. If there is only one owner, the IRS disregards the Virginia limited liability company as its own person and the single member pays for the taxes on the business income.

For an LLC that has more than one owner, the partnership tax section of the Internal Revenue Code governs the taxation. This section still provides for a single layer of taxation with the same end result where the members pay the tax on their own returns.

However, there are additional reporting requirements as compared to a single member LLC. The Virginia limited liability company must prepare an information return known as a Form 1065 and file it with the Internal Revenue Service. Each member receives a K-1 tax form from the business which sets forth the specific share of business profits and losses that he/she is entitled to.

CORPORATION TAXATION OPTIONS

An LLC in Va can also elect to be taxed as either a C corporation or an S corporation. There are certain forms and certain deadlines to meet. Generally, in order to make the election, the required election forms must be prepared and formed within 75 days of formation of the Virginia limited liability company.

The C corporation tax structure subjects the business to double taxation. The IRS taxes the LLC itself on any income the business makes and then if the profits are distributed to the members, the members will be subject to a second tax on the same income.

However, it is possible that an LLC in Va might find it better to be taxed under the C corporation structure.

If the business is going to have profits immediately, the applicable C corporation tax rate may be lower than the rate you would pay on your personal return and so you could end up paying less tax. If your business is going to have a stock option plan or will be providing significant employee benefits to employees, there may be additional tax deductions you can get under the C corporation rules.

An LLC in Va can also elect an S corporation taxation structure if the Virginia limited liability company and its owners meet all the conditions required to qualify.
S corporation taxation offers a single layer of taxation similar to partnership/pass through taxation.

It became popular for corporate entities because they do not have the option of regular pass through taxation.

Many owners of an LLC in Va do not choose S corporation taxation because of the onerous requirements and the fear that if one requirement is not met, even inadvertently as the business evolves, the business could be found liable for significant taxation and penalties.

There is one benefit of S corporation taxation over the default pass through taxation for a Virginia limited liability company. This benefit relates to self employment taxes. There is more opportunity in an S corporation tax structure to reduce overall self employment taxes owed by the business owners. Your accountant can advise you on the details and determine if there might be an advantage for your business.

SUMMARY

In 1997, the IRS made tax choice decisions easy for an LLC in Va. The owners can decide from one of three choices. This is one of many reasons why the Virginia limited liability company is now the most common legal entity formed for businesses in Virginia.

Don was a salesman who sold advertising. His boss set the fees for the advertising, but Don found a way to go into the company computer and change the figures to whatever he wanted on individual accounts. He appeared to be successful because he sold more advertising than anyone else in the company, but in the end someone discovered the numbers didn’t add up.

Craig sold cleaning products to businesses and government entities. He was well liked and served a big area. When customers commented that they felt the price he was charging for certain items were too high he quickly accepted their rebuke adjusted the fee on paper and delivered their products. Craig knew he didn’t have the right to do that so he entered the correct order amount when he got back to the office and most companies paid without complaint, until someone noticed they were paying a higher than the agreed to amount.

Neither men work for their former employers.

If you are to start a moneymaking business you have to have a clear idea about what you will charge in both wholesale and retail environments. If you have a sale price it needs to be across the board and not simply adjusted based on the desire to sell something.

Obviously this would be slightly different with a service-oriented business in that you are completing a project with multiple variables. There would not likely be a one price fits all solution to a service unless you could expect the exact same circumstances in every case (i.e. an oil change).

The problem both Don and Craig experienced is the power of coffee shop talk (or in the cyber world – forum boards). Customers will talk and they will often discuss the prices they pay for certain goods or services. If one man buys advertising from Don’s company and pays $100, but another business owner only pays $15 for the same advertising neither customer will be very confident in doing business with the advertising source again.

The same is true of purchasing products. Unless the customer purchases the items at a bulk or a special non-profit or charity discount the price should be the same for all other customers. If one business indicates they received a steep discount and another did not then bills are likely to be compared, and that’s the scenario that led to Craig’s demise as a salesman.

Fair and consistent pricing is a key component to any moneymaking business. This dynamic has trust and integrity at the heart of what you do and how you do it. If you only work to try to identify how much someone is willing to pay for an item you risk losing more than one customer.

In most cases your moneymaking business will not be centered around an ideal that encourages price haggling so if a customer has a concern about the price of your product or service then you should listen to them, research their concerns if you like and then if you adjust the price of your product downward make that adjustment on all future sales for every customer.

We all want to find ways to make money, but when you try to do that with an, “at any cost” mentality you will likely find it only damages a business that may have begun with the best of intentions.
