Sunday, June 23 | 2 – 3 p.m.
CLA panelist: Jill Boland
Selecting a corporate structure that fits one’s business needs is one of the most important decisions a company can make when entering the United States. Each type — whether an S-Corp, co-op, limited liability corporation (LLC), or other structure — has its advantages and disadvantages depending on the business’ priorities and industry. This panel will educate investors on the various available corporate structures, and which might be suited for their business.

Foreign companies interested in expanding or establishing operations in the United States might be interested in potential business incentives and grants to aid them in their investment journey.
