  • Politics Is Like Hiring A Hitman
    by Scott Woods inPolitical on2020-08-13

    For me, politics is like hiring a hitman. I have values and things I care about. I care enough about them to at least bother voting for 5 minutes every year for one issue or another. And because I care at least that much, I vote for people who align with the ability to realize the things I care about.

    by Roger Madison Jr. inPolitical on2020-07-24

    I believe our vote is the punctuation of our voice. Without that resounding exclamation mark, I believe our voices are just incoherent noise.

  • Fighting Racism
    by Scott Woods inOur Community on2018-10-25

    I had a boss who was racist. Not an outright bigot, of course; her toolbox was more subtle than most. We bumped heads a lot over inconsequential things.

The Freelance Advantage: Is Your Business Properly Structured?

As a business owner, one of the most important decisions you will ever make is how to structure your business.  Will you operate as some type of legal entity, like a corporation, limited liability company, or partnership?  Or will you operate as a sole proprietorship?

Your primary goals when choosing how to structure you business are asset protection and tax mitigation.  The business structure you choose should provide maximum protection of your assets in the event you are sued.  Additionally, it should afford you minimal tax liability.

Although your CPA may provide you with some advice in this regard, it is best to consult with a professional financial planner before making a final decision about which business structure to use.  Your financial planner is an integral part of your team and can create a plan for you that will help you achieve your financial goals more quickly.  With the right financial plan, the average person can shorten the time it will take to achieve their financial goals by five to ten years.
