Selecting the Type of Entity for Your Business Law Tip Selecting the most advantageous type of entity for your new business, e.g., sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company, corporation (Sub S or C), etc. is a critical decision but often times given short shrift. The recently enacted Tax Cuts and Jobs Act creates opportunities but also pitfalls for the uninformed making it especially important to properly explore your options. Eric S.

Stressed? Overwhelmed? General Tip Self-care is essential to one's well-being. Consider giving priority to your own mental and physical needs in order to live a healthy and rewarding life. If time is an issue, try activities that require minimal time from your schedule such as: taking moments throughout the day to relax with deep breaths, journaling, taking a walk or practicing mindfulness.
