Choosing the Right Entity Structure for Your Business
About the Workshop:
This two-hour training session will provide the attendees with the ability to recognize common accounting and legal "pitfalls" that entrepreneurs and business owners face when selecting the structure for their entity.

- Failure to understand the key differences in various entity types.
- Failure to have complete corporate records.
- Failure to timely file income tax returns.
