Q. Can I require my mini-storage customers to use auto-pay?

13 November 2020

A: You will have to revise your current agreement to add auto-pay for future customers. For current customer the terms of the current agreement will have to be reviewed.

Q. We are trying to buy an assisted living business in Florida. We just moved to Florida 1 month ago from utah.

11 November 2020

A: The answer depends on the terms of the agreement you have with the broker. You would have to e-mail a copy of the agreement before I could give you a definitive answer.

Q. I want to source hvac units and resell them to licensed installers locally. Am I able to sell them legally w/o license?

7 October 2020

A: I don't think you need a license from the Construction Industry Licensing Board but you would need an occupational license. You should also form an S corporation or LLC to protect you and have the manufacturer cover you under its product liability insurance..
