About this Event
Got an idea, a co-founder, or your first paying customer? The legal structure you choose shapes your personal liability, your taxes, and your ability to raise money.
Join us at The BELL for an interactive session with Eddy Lopez, J.D. Candidate, exploring five questions founders ask most:
- Do I need a business entity yet? Understand when forming an entity becomes relevant.
- What are my options? Explore common business structures and their key differences.
- Which structure fits me—and should I form in Iowa or Delaware? Learn which factors can guide your decision.
- Can I start simple and change later? Understand how your structure can evolve with your business.
- How will I be taxed? Get an introduction to the tax implications of different structures.
Whether you’re testing an idea or getting ready to raise money, you’ll leave with a clear decision framework and a checklist of next steps.
