SCORE: BUSINESS FORMATION UNCOVERED: NAVIGATING BUSINESS STRUCTURES

December 10 @ 10:30 am

This business formation webinar is tailored to help entrepreneurs and business owners thoroughly understand the advantages and disadvantages of each entity type (sole proprietor, LLC, s-corp.) from legal separate entities, tax reporting structures, non-tax paying entities, liabilities, asset protection and more. In today’s competitive market, choosing the right business entity is more than just a procedural step; it’s a strategic decision that impacts every aspect of your operations and long-term success. The need for this webinar arose from observing how frequently new business owners navigate the initial setup phase without a clear understanding of the implications of their choices. The structure you choose affects not only your liability and tax obligations but also your ability to manage everyday operational tasks effectively. Each entity type comes with its unique requirements and benefits, and understanding these can be the difference between flourishing and floundering. Additionally, SCORE will cover essential topics such as government and state registration, agreements, permits and business insurance. Whether starting a new venture or looking to improve an existing one, join SCORE to learn how to establish a strong and compliant foundation for your business.
