Incorporating a Small Business

Choosing the Legal Structure That Fits Your Business 

 

 

Regardless of the business size and services, the challenges you face as a business owner include protecting your personal and business assets, establishing the reputation and credibility of your business entity, and understanding the tax implications of different forms of incorporation.

Among the decisions you will have to make, determining the structure of your business entity is one of the most critical. For example, should you remain a sole proprietor, where your business and personal assets are co-mingled, or should you incorporate? 
 

This informative workshop will begin by explaining the benefits of incorporating a small business. You will then learn the types of business entities available to small business owners and the advantages and disadvantages of each. This information willl help you determine the right corporate entity choice for your business enterprise. As a workshop participant, you will be also equipped with the tools you will need to take the steps to form your business either as a Corporation or Limited Liability Company (LLC). Additionally, you will know the post-incorporation steps that will help you understand compliance requirements so that your business will be positioned for growth and sustainability.
