2. A client comes to your employer's office to start a corporation. He wants to start a restaurant. He has concerns about personal liability. He does not want any of his personal assets to be able to be attached to the restaurant's creditors. Also, because it is a restaurant, he is concerned about being sued. He plans on making this a chain of restaurants like "Chili's". He will eventually want to make it worldwide and have lots of investors. He knows nothing about business entities. Nether does your employer. Your employer asks you to let him know what types of entities are available for his/her client and what you suggest and why. Please respond to this discussion question to your instructor via Course Message.
3. Major credit card companies incorporate in the state of Delaware to be able to charge higher interest rates. For example, in most instances, Florida's interest rate is capped at 18%. However, Visa and MasterCard, if incorporated in Delaware, can charge much higher rates. If the company was incorporated in Florida it would be limited to 18%. Any interest higher than that would not be enforceable. As all foreign corporations (corporations formed in another state) must register to do business in Florida, should credit card companies have to agree to charge Florida interest rates? Why or why not?
