Mental Health Practice as a Business

Do you need a corporation or a limited liability Company? How do you decide? How can you get the best of any company that you organize?

There are advantages to having a formal business entity – a corporation or a professional limited liability company. But, how can you create a corporate structure that works for you without costing more than it is worth? It is not enough to “have” a corporate entity if you don’t use it. And, more important many practices will not get much benefit from the cost of creating a corporate entity. Do you know the difference between a Corporation (a P.C.) and a Professional Limited Liability Company (a P.L.L.C.)? Why would one be better for you than the other? Are there other means to achieve the same benefits at less cost? Dr. Michael Flynn has helped many mental health professionals form business entities.
