How to Structure Your Business in the U.S.

Sunday, June 23 | 2 – 3 p.m.

CLA panelist: Jill Boland

Selecting a corporate structure that fits one’s business needs is one of the most important decisions a company can make when entering the United States. Each type — whether an S-Corp, co-op, limited liability corporation (LLC), or other structure — has its advantages and disadvantages depending on the business’ priorities and industry. This panel will educate investors on the various available corporate structures, and which might be suited for their business.

Business Incentives and Grants at the Federal, State, and Local Level

Tuesday, June 25 | 2 – 3 p.m.

CLA panelist: Michael DePrima

Foreign companies interested in expanding or establishing operations in the United States might be interested in potential business incentives and grants to aid them in their investment journey.

Often, it’s unclear how to identify and pursue these grants and incentives, as they are available at three different levels: federal, state, and local. This panel will provide a broad overview of incentives and grants in the U.S. and how to maintain compliance with them.
