Choosing the right legal structure is a crucial decision for any entrepreneur. Join Start Small Think Big, attorneys from Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, and small business tax specialist Miguel Matos for a comprehensive workshop designed to guide you through the pros and cons of business structure options, including LLCs, C-Corps, S-Corps, and Sole Proprietorships.
In this session, you’ll gain valuable insights into:
Entity Overview: Understand how different business structures impact your business’s legal and tax obligations.
Entity Selection & Tax Liability: An overview of pass-through entities, choosing LLC vs. S-Corp, self-employment taxes, and differences in what you can deduct.
Formation Process: An overview of the steps to formalize your business structure, such as registering with state agencies, drafting operating agreements or bylaws, and establishing partnership terms.
Governance Best Practices: Make sure you are up to date with all the requirements that apply to your business structure, like strong recordkeeping and required filings.
Current Trends: Learn how evolving corporate law trends may influence the structure you choose and governance strategies.
This workshop is the perfect first step toward building a strong legal foundation for your business. Don’t miss this opportunity to make informed decisions and set your business up for success! Thank you to the Harlem Community Development Corporation for their partnership in this event!
