Incorporation vs Sole Proprietorship
Are you a self-employed artist or running a small arts-based business and wondering whether to incorporate?
This practical webinar breaks down the key differences between operating as a sole proprietor and incorporating your business. We’ll explore when incorporation makes sense, the costs involved, and what it means for your taxes and personal liability. Designed specifically for artists and creatives, this session will give you the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions about structuring your business as it grows.
