Entity Selection and Formation: How best to structure your small business

According to SCORE, a small business mentorship organization, new small business formations hit record high numbers in 2021 as many Californians pursue their dream of owning their own business.

Please join Start Small Think Big and Small Business Majority for an interactive webinar designed to give you an overview of the various legal structures that are available to you as a small business owner. A lawyer from Goodwin Procter LLP will cover the legal and tax considerations for each legal structure.

Topics of discussion include:

• An overview of Sole-Proprietorships and S-Corporations
• An overview of Limited Liability Corporations (LLCs) and C-Corp, S-Corp
• An overview of "Cooperative" governing structures, regardless of incorporation
• Free and low-cost workplace benefits available to you in your state

Please note that this workshop will use examples relevant to businesses in Delaware and California. While the workshop will provide helpful context for businesses located in other states as well, the laws governing legal structures are state-specific and it is advisable to also consult with a lawyer who practices in the jurisdiction where you are located.
