Sophisticated Choice of Entity - Part 2 (Live Replay from April 3, 2020)

Thank you

Thank you for joining us today.

Description

Choosing the right entity for a closely held business is not only a choice in time but planning for long stretches of time and the likelihood of substantial change. Among those changes are changes in tax law, changes in the capital structure and ownership ranks of the company, and changes in business strategy. These and a multitude of other considerations often involve a sophisticated tradeoff of benefits and costs, balancing certainty with flexibility, in full knowledge that change is certain.

This program provides a practical guide to sophisticated choice of entity considerations for closely held businesses.

Part 2 topics include:

Anticipating liquidity events – sale of the company, liquidation of the company, new investors/members
Planning for distributions of property
When the first choice wasn't correct – considerations when an entity needs to convert
Impact of recent tax law changes, employment taxes, and SALT considerations
Owner and employee fringe benefit considerations
