When to Switch to an S-Corp (And When NOT To)

LLC vs S-Corp vs Sole Proprietorship — which business structure saves you the most in taxes, protects you from liability, and sets you up for retirement? CPA Daniel breaks it all down.

In this video, I sit down with Daniel the CPA to cover everything business owners need to know about structuring their business the right way — especially if retirement is on the horizon.

We cover:

LLC vs S-Corp vs Sole Proprietorship: which one is right for you

How to pay yourself as a business owner (and why it matters for qualifying for a mortgage, saving for retirement, and maximizing Social Security)

Liability protection strategies that most small business owners overlook

Tax savings strategies a CPA actually recommends

How your business structure today affects your retirement income tomorrow

The mistakes Daniel sees business owners make over and over again

Whether you're a business owner in your 30s just getting started or in your 50s and 60s planning your exit, this conversation gives you the CPA perspective most people never hear.
