How to Use These Guides
These articles are designed to be educational and illustrative. They explain general concepts and strategies that may apply to incorporated business owners, but they are not personalized advice.
Before implementing any strategy discussed in these guides:
- Consult with your CPA to understand how tax rules apply to your specific situation
- Work with your lawyer or notary for legal and estate planning considerations
- Book a consultation if you'd like to discuss how these concepts might apply to your corporate structure
Every situation is unique, and what works for one corporation may not be appropriate for another.
