It depends. IPG prefers LLC. But I think some holding companies won’t pay with LLC. Or try to avoid it. But usually the policies are holding company wide.

Are there any good tax advantages?

Corporations always have more advantages than individuals when it comes to taxation (in this country).

Been incorporated for. Number of years. 1 in 10 companies make it difficult. Latest was a huge ad agency said it would take 45 days to get paid. Seriously?!

I’m incorporated and haven’t had any trouble so far. It was recommended to me for tax purposes. I left that up to the accountants. 🤓

Absolutely. I’m LLC. You just have to be flexible if a company wants to pay you as W2 - those clients tend to use a pass through company to hire you

(1/2) Hi all, based in the UK 🇬🇧, would appreciate your advice on how I could break into product management.

Currently a paralegal at a small start up financial services company been there for just a little over a year. I wear “multiple hats” but more recently I’ve done a lot of PM work and some BA work.
