Kim; I'm not a business major, but basically there are different types of business partnerships. One is known as an S-Corp. where people get together and sign some papers which state they are now in business as whatever. It requires a filing at the state level and identifies the people and assumed business name. From there tax ids and other stuff is required. Contracts are very important for this effort. If people do not have a clear vision of what is owed them based on their contributions and someone starts making a whole bunch of moola on it, get ready to find a chat room for fighting legal battles. So, two issues which you may want to investigate would be the contracts for the producers to issue to the contributors, and then what you need to do to incorporate so that your corporation is liable and not you. Hey, I am not a lawyer and don't know this stuff, but at some point, this is a necessary step. Thanks; John Peters (ANET@AOL.COM)
