SSM PC Presents for SFLN

Lindsey S. Mignano and Glenn Ballard of Marpe Finance presented for San Francisco Lawyers Network ("SFLN") @ First Republic Bank.  They discussed the legal and tax concerns for American and foreign-based startup entrepreneurs seeking to build or expand their existing businesses into the States.  Specifically, they covered such topics as how venture capital opportunities in the States influences the decision to incorporate as a Delaware C Corporation versus organize as an in-state LLC; the tax implications of setting up as a C/S corporation versus an LLC; for foreign-based entrepreneurs, the possibility of raising later rounds of capital (Series A, B, C) as a determining factor in the decision to incorporate a subsidiary or perform a "Delaware Flip" (click here for more information on this transaction); and the international tax implications operating a business here and abroad.
