The Presentation

Do you have the ideal business entity for the current stage of your business?

Choosing the right business entity isn’t just paperwork – it’s a strategic move that affects how much you keep in taxes, how protected your personal assets are, how you pay yourself, and how scalable your business becomes.

In this dynamic presentation, CPA and business strategist Maria Lopez will break down the financial implications of operating as an LLC, S Corporation, C Corporation, or Partnership – in a way that is practical, easy to understand, and directly relevant to you.
