For entrepreneurs and businesses, choices come quickly. Often the first choice is to decide how to protect your business, ideas, and yourself by establishing a legal entity and building an intellectual property portfolio. Even for an ongoing business, it may still be advantageous to reconsider initial choices.

The Hidden Factors of Choosing a Business Entity

Ku Yoo, partner at Chang & Yoo LLP, represents businesses, investors, high net-worth individuals, investment vehicles, and funds in various industries including startup, biotech, software, and real estate, in addition to electronics manufacturers and suppliers and services in hospitality and construction. In this presentation, Ku will explain many of the critical (and hidden) factors that entrepreneurs and businesses should consider in making your choice of entities. Entity topics include the pros and cons of entity choices, your exit strategy and what it means, investor preferences, tax implications, and common tactics to protect your business assets.
