project gus the bass llc formation 20260715T125953
name: Gus The Bass LLC formation in progress, Michael-owned description: New Texas LLC for Gus The Bass brand: Michael is sole member/owner, Justin is manager; EIN responsible party must be Michael. type: project
Justin is forming Gus The Bass LLC in Texas. Structure decided:
- Member/owner: Michael (single-member), not Justin.
- Management: manager-managed, with Justin (and/or Michael) as manager, giving Justin documented authority to act without owning the entity.
- EIN responsible party must be Michael (IRS requires the true principal's SSN/ITIN); Justin cannot be responsible party since he doesn't own it.
- Registered agent: keep Texas Registered Agent LLC for RA service only (not their formation add-on); Justin/Claude handle Form 205 filing directly on SOSDirect to save the formation-service fee.
- Login/identity plan: create [email protected] as a Google Group (free, no new Workspace seat) with justin@ and michael@ as members, and use that shared identity for the new SOSDirect account, EIN, and eventually the bank login, rather than justin@ personal.
Why: This is Michael's business; the entity's legal/financial login trail should survive Justin stepping back from day-to-day management, and should be shared/visible to both, not personal-to-Justin.
How to apply: When continuing this filing (Form 205, EIN, bank setup), use [email protected] as the account identity, confirm Michael's SSN/ITIN and sign-off before the EIN step, and treat gusthebass.com Workspace as already live (justin@ = admin, michael@ = user; hi@/deal@/partnership@ aliases exist, only hi@ is in use for link-in-bio).
