QUESTION POSED TO CHATGPT:

Ade is 30 years old and a recent Ph.D. graduate living in Ontario. Ade just inherited some money, and has $160,000 left after paying off debt incurred to go to school. Ade has developed a new network security device, and Ade has a working prototype of it. The device would be of interest to any business that needs exceptionally good security, but it will be expensive to bring to market. Ade also has three more inventions relating to network-security in various stages of the development cycle. Ade lives alone in a very inexpensive apartment. Ade has a part-time job working as a lab supervisor in a local college. Ade would like to quit that job. Billie is Ade's friend. They have been friends since they were both undergraduates, and Billie would like to go into business with Ade. Billie completed an MBA degree and is working for an app development business. The job provides a stable income for Billie (approximately $150,000 per year) and Billie's family (a spouse and a young child from the spouse's first marriage). Billie is seven years into a 25 year mortgage on a house that is now worth $700,000, and Billie has approximately $10,000 in savings and $3,000 in consumer debt. Billie has been helping Ade with business plans on nights and weekends. Chidi is 60 years old, semi-retired. Chidi made approximately $2,000,000 during the technology boom in the 1990s, and has grown that money considerably over the years. Chidi has investments, properties and savings totaling more than $500 million. As well, Chidi is an investor in and Board Member for the app development business where Billie is a manager. After meeting with Ade and Billie, Chidi is prepared to invest $3,000,000 for 40% of the business. What business structure do you recommend?

CHATGPT'S RESPONSE:

Based on the information provided, I would recommend that Ade and Billie form a Limited Liability Company (LLC) for their business. An LLC is a flexible business structure that provides personal liability protection for the owners (members) while also allowing for pass-through taxation, where the profits and losses of the business are reported on the individual tax returns of the members.

One advantage of an LLC is that it allows the members to have flexibility in how they structure the management and ownership of the business. Ade and Billie can decide on the roles and responsibilities of each member, as well as how profits and losses are allocated. This flexibility can be especially useful given Chidi's investment and board membership in the app development business where Billie is a manager.

With Chidi's investment of $3,000,000 for 40% of the business, Ade and Billie would retain 60% ownership. This ownership structure could be reflected in the operating agreement of the LLC, which would outline the rights and responsibilities of each member, as well as how profits and losses are allocated.

It is also worth noting that forming an LLC can be relatively easy and inexpensive compared to other business structures like corporations. However, it is important to consult with a lawyer and/or accountant to ensure that all legal and tax requirements are met.
