How to Structure Your Business Recap Jason discusses the different business structures available
Determining how to structure your business is one of the most important legal decisions you'll have to make. Luckily for us we have Jason Pappas to help. 

Wan to learn more about this topic? We have some good news! 

Jason will be teaching a course on Entrepreneurial Finance (ENTR 330) this fall which correlated closely to this workshop’s content. You can find more information about the class here.

You can also find the unedited audio of the workshop below.

Below is a simple table that summarizes the differences between the five structures of business you can have. Overall the best way for an entrepreneur to set up their business is S-corporation or a LLC.


Sole proprietor is the simplest business form under which one can operate a business. The sole proprietorship is not a legal entity. It simply refers to a person who owns the business and is personally responsible for its debts. This means that if someone is to sue your company you are not protected. You also need to pay all taxes on profits that you earn. 

A partnership is a legal form of business operation between two or more individuals who share management and profits. The federal government recognizes several types of partnerships. The two most common are general and limited partnerships. There is also no liability protection in case the company is sued. However, there is pass through on taxes. In short pass through means that you will not be double taxed for any profits. The rate on a securitized asset is "passed-through" to investors once management fees and guarantee fees have been paid to the securitizing corporation.

A C-corporation refers to any corporation that is taxed separately from its owners. A C-corporation is distinguished from an S-corporation, which generally is not taxed separately. Entrepreneurs would not want to structure their business as a C- corporation because there is no pass through on taxes. A C- corporation is best used if you want to reinvest the money into the business and avoid being double taxed.

A limited liability companies (LLC) is a business structure that combines the pass-through taxation of a partnership or sole proprietorship with the limited liability of a corporation. This structure also allows you to choose how you want to be taxed and if you can discriminate distribution between owners.

The entrepreneurial panel discussion this semester was full of diversity, both in industry and backgrounds. 

If you missed this informative and exciting workshop be sure to listen to the unedited audio of the workshop available below.

Maneet Sarai, an alum of UMBC, is the CEO/Founder of SeeFuture, which is a company designed to provide job seekers an inside track to employment. Joseph Hyman, also an alum of UMBC, is the CEO and Founder, MoJoe Brewing Company. MoJoe is a technology company that specializes in mobile brewing solutions. Dr. Kimberly Brow is the founder and CEO of Amethyst Technologies, LLC (currently located at bwTech@UMBC Accelerator and Incubator). Amethyst personnel are changing the world by developing quality programs for clinical trials, global health, biodefense, and drug development in the U.S. and Africa. Finally, Patrick Rife, also an UMBC alum, is the founder of Pixilated, an event photo booth company.

Q: What prompted you to become an entrepreneur?
Paul- I had graduated with a degree in art history. I found a job and worked for a couple years but didn’t feel like it was what I should be doing. It wasn’t my long term goal. I started thinking about an idea for an event photo booth and after sharing ideas with friends and gaining confidence I decided to take the leap.
Kim- I was in grad school and got a job in a very small company where I was the second employee. I realized that I wanted to stay out of corporate America. I was in the right place at the right time.
Joseph- I have always knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur. When I was younger I would always see opportunities to make connections with people and some money on the side. I learned how to decide if certain ideas were viable and worthy of perusing. I wanted to make sure I had the resources to fully execute it.
Maneet- I found out that I am not a “9-5” guy. I wanted to be my own boss and make my own schedule.

Q: What are some surprises and lessons learned along the way?
Paul- I was surprised to find out that I am a good entrepreneur. This role has allowed me to be myself and create amazing things. 
Kim- I am surprised every day. I have learned to never be surprised and to always be prepared and flexible.
Joseph- Working with a physical product instead of a service/software is very difficult and I was surprised how hard it was to secure funding and support for a product before it was built. I learned that it is important to build a team of people that have many different skills but that can work together.
Maneet- I was surprised about how wrong I usually am. I always think I’m right, when in reality it’s the exact opposite. I have also learned how to pivot and stand out of the crowd.

Q: What have you had to sacrifice to be an entrepreneur?
Paul- Nothing. I would be sacrificing my potential as a person if I wasn’t doing what I’m doing now. 
Kim- Everything. You need to do what needs to be done and that means giving up time and pay sometimes.
Joseph- Time and money. You need to be committed to making your idea happen. You also give up your sanity since you think about your business 24/7
Maneet- Time and money.

Q: What are the basic traits that make entrepreneurs successful?
Paul- Tenacity, veraciousness, bringing a unique point of view to the market, and being confident in who you
Kim- Confidence and a commitment to not failing
Joseph- Creativity, perseverance, and leadership
Maneet- Able to accept rejection, don’t be afraid to ask for help, learn many things in many fields.

Q: What advice would you give to entrepreneurial students?
Paul- Figure out what your minimal viable product is and go for it! Just do it and do it now!
Kim- Be financially prepared
Joseph- Try your best to get away from self-doubt. Every good idea started from somewhere so research your idea and commit to it.
Maneet- You don’t have as much risk since you are younger, so calculate the costs and if you can do it, go for it!

Q: What is your management style?
Paul- I try to bring people who want! I want them to work, have fun, and present. I hire for culture not for skill
Kim- I have evolved from a micromanager to more of a builder of teams. It has been nice to go from very protective of my company to see it expand.
Joseph- I try to manage like a “bootstrap culture.” We are all young and poor at my company but we’re all bright! 
Maneet- I am a very similar manager to Paul. 

Q: Do you ever wake up wishing you were not an entrepreneur?
All four speakers said no they would not choose anything else.

Overwhelmed or intimidated by S.C.? Here's a starting point
This series was conceived by Special Collections student assistant Audrey Gatewood.  She also wrote this first post.  Check out Audrey's picks!

There are so many great resources in our collections, we understand it can be overwhelming. We, the staff, want to give you, the intrigued student, a place to start. Here you will find recommendations for some of the materials that are housed in Special Collections, such as photo books, comics, alternative press, art books and more.

Our collections are more accessible then you may think. Located in the back of the Library Gallery, we are ready to help you find whatever you’re looking for. By sharing some of our favorite materials we hope that this blog can be the beginning of your exploration into the excellent resources we have here.

See you in the reading room!

Two of Audrey's picks from the Bafford Photography Book collection:

THE CENTURY OF THE BODY: 100 PHOTOWORKS OF 1900-2000

The Century of the Body: 100 Photoworks 1900-2000 is a thorough yet concise look at the history of representations of the human body in photography.

                    

(Images: Left: Edward Weston, Page 110; Right: Don McCullin, Page 142)

Spanning one hundred years, this book is a wealth of information that's formatted in a user friendly way. Each photo has a respective paragraph describing its background, both related to the photo specifically and in a broader sense. Many subjects are tied into this book, including science, fine art, technology, media and sociology. This book is especially useful for anyone who wants to learn about the history of photography in relation to other things, but with a core focus on the representation of the body.

BOYSTOWN: LA ZONA DE TOLERANCIA

Warning: Graphic Content

In the 1970's along the border between Texas and Mexico was Boystown, a collection of brothels and clubs. It was a public secret shielded by the dark of night. Men of every sort -- gang members, tourists, doctors, cowboys -- would come to engage with the sex workers. Working in the shadows of Boystown were several anonymous photographers, about seven, who sought out quick money by providing souvenir photos. They would approach the drunken men, photograph them with the woman they were pursuing, and pocket two dollars in exchange for a print. Though their intent was shallow, these photographers incidentally created a truly intense body of work.

The photos presented in this book are merciless, captured without pretense. In an unforgiving act of voyeurism, the facade of Boystown, built up by darkness, alcohol and flashy makeup, is accidentally destroyed within these mementos, which were most likely torn up and tossed the next day by the men who bought them.

           

Thanks for your picks, Audrey!
