There are distinct differences with respect to what happens if a member of an LLC dies or wants out vs a shareholder of an S-Corp and the lifespan of each type of entity must be taken into consideration depending on your future plans for employees, expansion, etc...

A very important distinction to understand.

You should mystery shop some of you local competition to get a flavor of what you up against.

LLC and Corporation (Inc) are separate and distinct business entity types.

These have "Pittsburgh addresses" but each local region/municipality has its own flavor.

On top of the weekend class to "really" learn a thing or two instead of wasting your valuable time like at the meeting I was attending, they then were pitching their exclusive next tier program where you and 15-or-so others could have the distinct "privilege" of having breakfast/brunch with them and be able to talk with them for the low price of $500 or so...THEN there was their "top dog" program where you and a select few could have the great honor of becoming their padawan after you took out a 2nd mortgage on you (or your parents) house to pay $20K (or was it $50K?)

Both these endeavors feel the same to me other than one is residential and one is commercial, which granted, is a big distinction.

Each person's path and connections to achieve those goals are distinct to the individual.Swanny
