Description

9:30 – 10:30 a.m.
Getting Started: Company Formation, Tax and Best Practices – Smith Anderson
This session will provide a primer on the fundamentals of choosing the appropriate entity for your business and basic tax effects of each. In addition to learning about differences between corporations, limited liability companies, and other entities, you will also receive an introduction to key tax and compliance concepts and certain best practices to keep your business running smoothly.

10:40 – 11:40 a.m.
The Numbers: Business Accounting Primer – EisnerAmper in partnership with Smith Anderson
This session will provide some insight into the accounting do’s and don’ts for small businesses. We will cover topics, such as, accounting basics, accounting software, 1099 compliance, an overview of sales tax, how and when estimated payments play a part, and some of the tax consequences of choosing various entities.

11:45 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
Start Up and Small Business Employment Law Landscape: What Always Matters and What Matters More (or Less) in 2025 – Smith Anderson
This session will cover employment law issues about which start ups and growing companies must be aware, with a particular focus on employee count thresholds for various employment laws and the implications of hitting those marks. We will also explore key employment documents you should consider using – even if you have not yet triggered the previously discussed employment laws. Finally, we will discuss key considerations for employment versus independent contractor arrangements, noncompetition and nonsolicitation agreements, and wage and hour considerations that apply to all employers, regardless of size.

12:45 – 1:45 p.m.

This session will offer a primer on intellectual property and data privacy considerations for businesses. We will cover a broad overview of the types of intellectual property and take a deeper dive into brand protection through prosecution and maintenance of trademark rights. Further, in an era where data breaches and privacy violations dominate headlines, the significance of robust data privacy and security practices cannot be overstated. We will not only explore an overview of relevant laws and real-world examples of data breaches, but will also discuss best practices for data protection and how your business can foster an organizational culture that prioritizes privacy and security.

3:00 – 4:00 p.m.
Money Talks: Funding Your Company and Exit Strategies – Smith Anderson
This session will discuss common ways of funding your business from bootstrapping and bankrolling to loans, non-dilutive grants and outside investments and special considerations — particularly when trying to navigate federal and state securities regulations. We also discuss common exit strategies and succession planning issues for small businesses.
