Dear Friend,

Choosing the best business structure for a farm, cottage food company, or food hub is a good way to strengthen your business and to defend yourself if a problem with your food business arises.

We’re bringing in an expert from Northeast Legal Food Hub to recommend business formation and organization for your small farm or food-related business. The webinar will be led by Massachusetts attorney Patrick Connolly, from the Foley Hoag Law Firm.

In this live webinar, Patrick will cover:

• How and why to structure your business as Sole Proprietorship, Partnership, S Corp, C Corp, or LLC

• Advantages and disadvantages of different business structures

• Legal and tax implications plus compliance obligations for each

• Business permits and licenses for these structures

• And more!

FTCLDF is looking forward to having Patrick join us for this event. For the webpage on this event, visit HERE.
