Choice of Entity for Service Businesses, Including Law Firms—OSB CLE Quick Call (Replay)
Brought to you in partnership with Webcredenza, a professional education broadcast network
1 General CLE credit
Providing services makes up nearly 70% of the national economy—and most of the growth in the economy. Yet conventional choice-of-entity analysis still often relies on factors not specifically related to how a service business differs from a business that produces something tangible for sale. This overlooks the fairly dramatic tax differences in the treatment of income generated through services versus producing something. This program gives you a practical framework for the nontax regulatory considerations in choosing an entity for a service business, the varying tax treatment of services income in different types of entities, and special considerations for law firms and practices in choosing an entity.
- Major tax and nontax choice-of-entity considerations for service-based businesses versus businesses producing tangible goods
- Differences in tax treatment of services-generated income across entities
- Regulatory mandates that may dictate choice of entity for certain service businesses
- Special considerations in law firms and law practices
- Sale-of-business considerations, including goodwill
