LLCs and S-Corps: Your Top Entrepreneurial Questions, Answered

Building and creating drives you as an entrepreneur, business owner, or founder. That search for bringing something out of nothing is an addictive and honorable pursuit that often requires substantial amounts of hard work, dedication, and sacrifice.

But it can also be overwhelming, especially when you need all the answers. And while many entrepreneurs are willing to take on a "bootstrap" attitude to figure it out, some questions need to be answered to move forward.

And one of the most significant areas that bring anxiety and uncertainty to entrepreneurs is money and finances. Many questions need answers, from finding the right financing strategy for your business to understanding and managing taxes.

Eric Maldonado - owner and founder at Aquila Wealth Advisors - recently hosted an educational webinar to cover some of the most commonly-asked questions about money and finances in the entrepreneurial journey. 

As part of our series on the top questions entrepreneurs ask, we've broken down the key considerations you should know when determining what business structure is suitable for your company.
