Starting a business in the state of Florida can take a lot of hard work and legal knowhow. That is because new businesses cannot just open up and start operating: businesses must be organized, often must secure licenses, and must meet regulatory compliance mandates in order to be legal. This post offers an informational review of some of the regulations that businesses may have to deal with when they start their operations, but as with all information on this blog readers are cautioned not to use this post as legal advice.
Auto dealers may have right to protest new franchises
Taking a leap of faith and opening an automobile franchise in Florida can be an intimidating process. A lot can go wrong when a person chooses to work with a manufacturer to open a dealership and offer vehicles for sale under the rules of their franchise agreement. The success of an automobile dealership can depend greatly on what kind of support it gets from its manufacturer and what type of competition it faces in its local market.
Important details to include in business contracts
A contract is a powerful legal tool that can bind Florida residents and companies to each other through their mutual agreement to perform certain tasks. At their most basic levels, contracts include offers for performance of certain actions, acceptances of offer terms, and consideration or payment for the performance of those agreed upon actions. Most business contracts require more information, though, and can become ambiguous when they are not fully clear.
Who needs an auto dealer's license in Florida?
Throughout the state of Florida private parties buy and sell automobiles with regularity. Individuals may post signs in their vehicle windows to let others know that they would like to sell them, and buyers may contact sellers with offers of purchase. Private individuals can transfer vehicle titles between each other once their sales are finalized and can enjoy the profits of their ventures once they are rid of their cars.
