Where should you register your business, and why does it matter so much?
In this episode of An Ounce of Prevention, we break down how business jurisdiction affects taxes, liability, compliance costs, and long-term growth.
Partner and Corporate Team Lead Tawnya Bell walks through the most common entity-formation choices founders make: Delaware, Texas, Wyoming, and when Series LLCs should be your first choice (and when it creates unnecessary risk). If you’re starting, restructuring, or planning an eventual exit, this conversation can save you time, money, and legal headaches.
This episode is designed for business owners, founders, and executives who want to make strategic, not trendy, decisions about corporate structure.
