How and Why to Use an Entity With Your Broker-Dealer

Using an Entity with a Broker Dealer

Almost half of advisors affiliated with a broker-dealer use an LLC or S-Corp., but almost none are set up appropriately for the IRS.

In this session, we will start with why every advisor should think about setting up an entity to operate their business, what are the most important steps and which are most often missed (and what the implications are), as well the toughest part – how to set up and use the entity correctly to avoid future issues and minimize audit risk.

Whether you are thinking about setting up an entity or already have one, attendees will learn how to do it right or confirm they are part of the minority doing everything correctly!
