Advice on business type requested

The business is two-fold. One piece is consulting and training with local hospitals on improving pediatric and family-centered care. The second is a Family Enrichment Center, offering children's art & cooking class (ages 4-8yrs), developmental playgroups (birth-5 yrs) and parenting classes. Our greatest concerns are protecting our personal assets, liability, and taxes.

Two main things to consider here to protect your assets -- (1) liability insurance and (2) business entity structure (i.e. LLC, corporation). The best thing you can do is to sit down with a lawyer and discuss both of these. It would be a relatively small amount of money very well spent. If you contact WLD through their main page, you could be referred to a lawyer who handles this type of matter. Best of luck in your business! AJJ
