About the Course:

Start-up enterprises may choose from a variety of corporate structures. Among the options are C-Corporations, S-Corporations, Partnerships, Limited Partnerships and Single-Member Limited Liability Corporations. Each entity comes with advantages and disadvantages in terms of ease of formation, tax liabilities, legal liabilities, corporate governance requirements and attractiveness to outside investors.

Emerging company analysts should be familiar with how corporate structure can affect the investability and valuation of emerging companies. If you don't know the answers to questions such as these, you really should listen to this webinar:
