Choosing a Legal Structure: Pros and Cons with Emma Torrance

Event information / agenda

Choosing a Legal Structure with Emma Torrance:

How do you know whether you’re operating under the right structure? Have you wondered if you should set up a company? Emma Torrance will tell us about 7 areas that will help you to decide. We will look at 4 options of structure: sole trader, private Ltd company, social enterprise or charity. Different things are important to different people, so what is right for some will not be for others.

The 7 areas we will discuss that will help you decide are:

• Control
• Risk
• Money – taxes & where you will pay the least
• Reputation and Image
• Applying for funding or loans
• Simplicity v complexity
• Privacy

Lastly, once you have decided what the right structure is, we look at how you set this up.

This workshop will be relevant to either those already working and wondering if they have the best structure, or for people new to business and thinking of setting a business up and want to choose the right legal structure to operate under.

This workshop is being produced in collaboration with In Good Company (IGC). In Good Company is the flagship, professional, creative and business development programme for theatre makers in the Midlands.

BSL interpreters will be available for this workshop. If you need an interpreter or have any questions about other access needs, please contact In Good Company's Administrator, Joanna, at j.saw@derby.ac.uk
