Starting or growing a business comes with critical decisions — and choosing the right legal entity is one of the most important. Whether you're operating under a DBA like “Jill’s Wedding Planning” and concerned about liability, or launching a new venture and want to build it on the right legal foundation, this is your opportunity to get informed guidance from a trusted professional.
Types of Business Entities in California:
1. Sole Proprietorships
2. Partnerships
3. Corporations:
- C-Corp
- Professional Corporation (APC)
- Non-Profit (501(c)(3))
4. Limited Liability Companies (LLC)
Note: Some LLCs and corporations may also qualify for an ‘S Corp’ tax status — a strategic option for reducing employment taxes and structuring profits more efficiently.
Why Your Business Entity Matters:
- Liability Protection – Keep your personal assets safe.
- Tax Planning – Maximize deductions and reduce burdens legally.
- Daily Operations – Avoid administrative headaches down the line.
- Profit Sharing – Define how earnings are distributed among owners.

She focuses on helping first-time business owners transition from hobbyist or sole proprietor to fully structured legal entity — the right way.

What Valerie Provides:
- Easy-to-understand breakdowns of entity pros & cons

- Annual Fees & Franchise Tax
- Payroll/Employment Tax Requirements

- Administrative Burden
