Selling a Corporation?

It depends on your state law and whether you have a shareholders' agreement in place.  It also depends on what you mean by "selling the company."  If you mean selling your assets, in some states, a 50% vote is required to sell the company's assets.  In other states (such as TX, I believe), the requirement is 66 2/3%.  If you mean selling a controlling block of shares (i.e., your shares), you generally do not need anyone's consent to sell your own shares unless your shareholders' agreement says otherwise and provided that you properly discharge your fiduciary duties to the minority shareholders.  A majority shareholder has substantial fiduciary duties to minority shareholders and these vary from state to state.  \n\nThe problem with just selling your shares is that they buyer is going to have to deal with the minority shareholders because you generally cannot force them to sell unless the shareholders' agreement permits it.  That may make selling difficult unless you own 80% or so of the shares.  If you own that many of the shares, in a lot of states you can do a "short form merger" and squeeze out the minority shareholders by paying fair value to them.  If you do that, you will probably want to get a fairness opinion.  There are a lot of ways to squeeze out minority shareholders, but there is a fair amount of risk with doing it because the minority might claim you aren't giving them a fair price.\n\nThis is not legal advice and is merely a discussion of some of the pertinent issues which you need to fully investigate before moving forward.  The question you pose is not subject to being properly answered without a lot of additional information.  That's why my answer to your question is "it depends."

The best would be to have a lawyer draft your partnership agreement. \n\nYou also need to have Buy-Sell Agreement with your partner so you both will know the course of action to take when one of the partner/s want out of the business. You just don't know what will happen, and having a Buy Sell Agreement can help you decide how the share of the departing partner will be disposed of, who will buy it and how much is the fair price.

The best way is to buy them out on terms that both companies can agree on. The alternative is hostile takeover, where one corporation buys sufficient stocks to get controlling voting power of another corporation who doesn't want to be taken over.

You would have to transfer ownership of the house to the corporation. This would probably  be a taxable gain for the corporation so I don't think it would be a good idea.

Only if you sell it.  You take their basis, but only pay a gain if you sell it.

One of the simple rule of thumb is 2 x total yearly turnover. This means if your yearly turnover is US$1million, it may be possible to sell at US$2million. However, there are other additional parameters like profitability, loans & liability, growth prospects, customer base, brand value, etc. If you are really serious, involve a company to do a vaulation for you, for example KPMG.

If the companies are still being traded, then you can go to your brokerage (like Waterhouse) and sell it, or you can sell it at a collectibles shop if the Company is dead.

It depends on your corporate structure. If you are a C-Corporation then, yes you can sell to anyone. \n\nIf you are and LLC or an S-Corporation then you have restrictions. With and S or LLC you cannot sell to foreigners. Also in an S-Corp I believe you can only sell shares to up to 75 shareholders, more than that and your S-Corp election is terminated and it becomes a C-Corp, and with an LLC I think 50 shareholders is the limit. (I am not sure on the actual number of shareholders but thats what I believe is correct, just know that it is less than 100, whereas a C-Corp is unlimited and unrestricted)

Depends if it has appreciated in value and if you are selling it.  If yes to both of those, then yes (unless you can offset it by capital losses).

If this is a corporation stock, it will indicate which state that it is in. In most cases, you can contact your state's Secretary of State's office to learn if that company is still in business, and what has happened to that company over the years.   \n\nIt might take a bit of work to find any value.  Even if it went BUST a long time ago, the story will go well as a family heirloom.   Write the story and keep it with the stock certificates.

it may depend on your state (assuming you're from the US), you will probably need a certificate for sales tax and.. well that's about it from what I remember. if you mean by license a corporation, LLC, or SP, then no. you can be a private individual and sell online. however, if you're going to setup a shopping cart and not go through a 3rd party like CCNow (and similiar reseller merchants) you may need more accountability. this is actually a question you should direct to your secretary of state office

I own my own business and it sounds to me like you have a great opportunity to sell what you have done.  Advertise it, you would be surprised at how many people would be interested, you have done all the leg work, I'm impressed and sorry that it is not working out for you.  Maybe you could sell it and pay off some debt and begin again.  It would be well worth it. Kudos to you.

You still owe the debt to the owner of the company. The debt may have been sold.
