SUMMARY:Legal Entity Workshop with Pisgah Legal Services (Virtual Workshop)
DESCRIPTION:When starting a business\, the most important decision relating to taxes is the type of legal structure you select for your company. \nNot only will this decision impact how much you pay in taxes\, but also the amount of paperwork your business is required to do\, the personal liability you face\, and your ability to raise money. \nThe most common forms of business are sole proprietorships\, partnerships\, corporations and S corporations. A more recent development to these forms of business is the limited liability company (LLC) and the limited liability partnership (LLP). Because each business form comes with different tax consequences\, you will want to make your selection wisely and choose the structure that most closely matches your business’s needs. \nJoin us for this FREE one hour informational session with Justin Edge\, attorney from Pisgah Legal Services to get an overview of the different types of legal entities and determine which one is right for your business. \nThis event is intended for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. \nRegister here.  \nThe event will be held virtually\, via the videoconferencing platform Zoom. You will receive information on how to join the event after registering.
