I believe Mr. Ness and his services have contributed to the success of my business over the years.

The most significant changes will be to the governance structure of LLCs.
The new act says that Minnesota LLCs can be managed by its members, a board of governors, or managers.

Deferred compensation plans are a way for highly paid employees to save more money than their 401(k)'s typically allow for.
By deferring earned income, the employee is able to defer taxes until after retirement, when the employee's tax bracket is more favorable.
This allows for individuals to supplement their income after retirement.
The plan, however, comes with risks.
