"Going It Alone: Sole Proprietorship, LLC, or S-Corp, Which Structure is Right for You," with Rus Garofalo

Changes in the laws have caused confusion in the industry about worker classification.

Or maybe an S-Corp. Wait, there’s also a C-Corp! How does a freelancer choose? In this session experts break down the differences between various business structures, showing the pros and cons of each.
