The Tender For Law

English Only

ENGLISH is the international language of law and commerce. Knowing FRENCH is useful for understanding LEGAL ENGLISH, but FRENCH is not the international language of law and commerce, so we will ignore French speakers who speak to us in the language of a conquered people.

Non.

I understand that you are a proud Québécois, but the people here have nothing but contempt for you because of decades of transfer payments and NONE OF YOU understanding what Quebec sovereignty means. None of you know who Russell Rogers Smith is, and you're too proud and arrogant to teach. Just go away and be Retardier somewhere else.

Question in private from Adrian Thomson....

Pete, If I may ask you a question please... After I have incorporated, a Delaware LLC, how do I open a bank account for this new company without linking it to the person in my pocket? I was in to a CIBC here in Nova Scotia, and they want shareholder information, but I don't see how I can show them that it is the MAN that created this thing, not the PERSON. Do you have any thoughts on that?

First mistake, he asked about opening a bank account. The corporation should have prepared a banking statement and then sent it to the bank requesting a meeting to discuss what benefits and services the bank was willing to offer to the corporation.

Maybe I have not thought enough on this.

My wish is to have a person that I can do commerce with that I trust to do what I wish.

I do not wish to do commerce in a way that will bind me to the person that the government has provided to me because I can not trust them to do as I wish.

So I've created this new person in the form of an LLC and it will do as I wish.

Age Thomson

They want shareholder information on who owns it. If I provide the info of a holding company, they then want the ownership info on that holding company... :(

She said something about money laundering laws.

I will have to read up on that I think...

First correction is that the state of Deleware that created this new LLC. Not a man and not your PERSON...the fucking STATE OF DELAWARE. The shareholder information is none of their business since it is privately held but you could tell them that no shares have been sold/issued to date so there are currently no share holders. Of course they will want to know what PERSON has signing authority for this entity. This will require a resolution passed by the board (also known as administrating) authorizing your PERSON to write checks or make withdrawals. A man must still supply commercial energy to this entity. There is no escaping that.

"Registering" a foreign corp is a separate matter from opening bank accounts. Why not open bank accounts stateside since that is where the entity is DOMICILED? Then have a CANADIAN entity as the holding corp for the LLC and open bank accounts for the CANADIAN entity in NL.

Pete Daoust

Before opening the bank account, go see the accountant, and ask him to produce some financial statement for the corp, if you have a 50 million dollar lien on the person, it should appear somewhere in the books.......that could be useful to, at least, have a coffee served to you when you will meet with the bank manager to discuss shit.... :D

David-Paul Sip

Forget about the banking statement. How does a corporation send a banking statment without a bank account. Capitain Pete is right...a financial statement is what is called for but why? The corporation isn't applying for credit or anything. Not necessary at this point.

Pete Daoust

ANONYMOUS. Without name. This word is applied to such.books, letters or papers, which are published without the author's name. No man is bound to publish his name in connexion with a book or paper he has published; but if the publication is libellous, he is equally responsible as if his name were published.

Age Thomson

There is only the registered agent in the state of Delaware that has the name at this point, and the incorporation filed with the state refers any inquiry back to the registered agent. It isn't meant for me to hide anything, but my reasoning is to have a jurisdictional difference on purpose so that the government can not have any claim on it.

Pete Daoust

So now, you need to OPEN a branch, in wherever you are, or, a new corp. and that new corp will be owned by that Delaware corp. So if they want to know WHO are the shareholder, you say the Delaware corp is....

Age Thomson

So I had presented her a letter from the company, informing her that the company has authorized me (my person ADRIAN THOMSON) to contract and to open accounts, on the company's behalf in the capacity of Manager. I had identification for the person with a photo of me on it in the form of a Drivers License.

The bank wants me to notify the government of Nova Scotia that the company will be doing business here (not a huge issue) but obviously a step I forgot to plan for.

The shareholder part of the equation though, how is it any of their business?

Age Thomson

The whole thing about anti-money laundering just messed up my thinking. And I was questioning everything I thought I had figured out. But by adding the additional Canadian corporation and holding it with the first one I will have exactly what I was originally thinking of. So somehow, through all of this (frankly shit stain) post, I'm back to where I was planning to be. So I'm excited! :)

David Vilaca

Hmmm, Delaware law requires that every business entity have and maintain a Registered Agent in the State of Delaware who may be either an individual resident or business entity that is authorized to do business in the State of Delaware.

Age Thomson

I posted a file last month Chris Evan and everything is in it. It was a bit of a generic help document but it's also written by a company that does agent services... So take the info with that in mind because it's kind of an advertisement.

Age Thomson

Yep, after sleeping on this and thinking more about it, I feel I must apologize to you all for causing such a boneheaded thread. I should not have tried to "put the cart before the horse" so to speak.....

Sorry.

David-Paul Sip

Actually Adrian Thomson the mistake was sending the Captain a private message thinking it would not see the light of day :D As for the MASSIVE shitstain just remember who posted it lol! I suspect you didn't pose the question to the group first becsause you knew it wasn't gonna be pretty and would leave skidmarks and streaking everywhere.

Age Thomson

Not the case at all David. I just wasn't thinking clearly at the time, and was being rushed by my wife to travel into town.

I fully expected that I was going to be berated because I knew I had fucked something up somewhere. The original message being private instead of a proper post is simply one more in a long string I had going that day...

But I'm back on track now.

And thanks for not pulling any punches. (Specifically you David-Paul Sip)
