The Death of the LLC Industrial Complex: Is Your Default Entity Choice Costing You Millions?
Speaker:
Langston Tolbert

The standard advice is clear: Start as an LLC, then elect S Corp status to save on payroll taxes. But for founders building substantial businesses, that approach may be leaving money on the table. LLCs became the default, but for businesses generating significant revenue, a C Corp can offer greater tax advantages—thanks to Trump-era cuts, the QSBS exemption, and smarter structuring.
In this session, we’ll break down:
Why entity selection is a long-term wealth decision, not just a tax one
How C Corps can provide better after-tax outcomes
Real-world cases where the right structure made all the difference
If entity structure has felt like a formality, it’s time for a fresh look at the numbers.
