The term ā€œLLCā€ references an entity type, whereas ā€œS-Corpā€ typically references tax status. The reality is you can have an LLC taxed under an S-election. ā  ā  ā 
ā 
When you are setting up a business, you have two choices ā€“ entity type and tax status. Within each of those choices, you have multiple options. ā 
ā 
Most importantly? Entity selection is not one-size-fits-all! ā

Iā€™m willing to bet you know just how overwhelming it can feel to be a business owner and receive a contract in your inbox. You open it, e-sign it, and hope for the best? ā 
ā 
We've all been there - I've done it myself! ā 
ā 
Contract lifecycle management (CLM) is an overlooked part of business operations, and most clients (and even attorneys) don't have a great system in place for contract review. ā 
ā 
A few tips for an efficient CLM system: ā 
ā 
- CLM schedule: ideally, an end-point will be selected and a schedule is reversed engineered to give both parties enough time for a round of review and revision before a final draft is circulated and executed. TIP: anything less than 2 weeks is going to feel very rushed. ā 
ā 
- Boilerplate review: if you are proposing the contract, your template will already have your ideal terms in it. If you are receiving the contract, you should match the received contract to your ideal terms and suggest revisions when necessary. TIP: you should keep a bank of key clauses like indemnification, liability limitations, governing law, etc. that your company is willing to accept or reject. ā 
ā 
- Keep Separate Versions: try to avoid consolidating the document through multiple rounds of revisions. Instead, keep separate versions according to your naming convention and produce new versions for each round of edits. This will give you a record of the negotiations in the event there is confusion at any point. TIP: CLM software usually includes this feature so if you are having trouble, look to technology for the assist. ā 
ā

You have spent years building your small business, but have you taken time to consider what will happen to it when you retire, become disabled, or pass away? ā 
ā 
Although it is often hard to fathom an event that may not occur for many years, it is important to put plans in place in advance. The failure to do so could result in the eventual loss of the business. There are several factors you should keep in mind in making plans for the future of your small business.ā 
ā 
You have invested a lot in making your business a success, and it is hard to think about relinquishing ownership or control of it. Nevertheless, planning is critical in creating a lasting legacy for your family.ā
