Event Description:

Thinking about starting a business, or wondering if your current setup still makes sense? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out on your own.

Join us for a relaxed Breakfast & Business seminar with Carter Litigation, featuring Riya, as we break down one of the most common questions business owners ask:
Should I incorporate, or stay a sole proprietor?

In this easy-to-follow session, Riya will walk through the real-world differences between incorporating a company and operating as a sole proprietor—without the legal jargon. She’ll share the pros and cons of each option, what they mean for your day-to-day business, and how to know when it might be time to make a change.

We’ll cover:

  • What incorporation really means (and when it’s worth it)

  • The benefits and drawbacks of being a sole proprietor

  • Liability, taxes, and paperwork—explained simply

  • Common mistakes business owners make (and how to avoid them)

  • Practical tips you can actually use

Enjoy a light breakfast, good conversation, and a welcoming space to ask questions and connect with other local business owners. Whether you’re brand new, side-hustling, or growing fast, you’ll leave feeling more confident about your next steps.
