Shania Jackson is a mature Christian thinking of opening a Christian  coffeehouse near Denver, Colorado. Her husband, Marvin, is open to  making a contribution of capital to the business, but he has no interest  in participating in its day-to-day operations or management.

Shania’s sister, Kelsey, is a new Christian who has told Shania that  she’s been looking for an excuse to get out of the house and would love  to be a part of the business. Kelsey’s husband, a non-Christian, opposes  his wife’s involvement and has told her that he wants her to remain a  stay-at-home mom to their 2 children.

Shania’s neighbor, Carlos, is a non-Christian who has also expressed  an interest in participating in the business as a way to earn extra  income. Carlos thinks the “Christian thing” has potential with all the  big churches in the area, including a Mormon temple and a large Kingdom  Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Shania has considered organizing her business as a sole  proprietorship, a partnership of some sort, a small corporation, an LLC,  or even a joint venture. She is thinking of calling the business “The  Gathering Place.”

Advise Shania on the following decisions:

1. Which of the business entities under consideration best accomplishes  her business goals? Thoroughly explain the reasons for your  recommendation.
2. Perform a corporate name search using the Explore: Business Database Search  to determine if the name Shania is considering is available for use in  the State of Colorado. Also, assess whether the name is available as a  trademark. Even if the name is available, advise Shania on whether it is  a good choice. Thoroughly explain the reasons for your recommendations.
3. Advise Shania on which of the interested persons she should include  in her business, in what role(s), and why. Your analysis must include  Biblical perspectives, such as Biblical considerations of marriage, and  business relationships with non-believers. Thoroughly explain the  reasons for your recommendations.
