The NASW Freelance Committee virtual meetup will be a business chat on business structures. To speak on the topic, volunteer event hosts Jennifer Huber and Ellen Kuwana have invited Wudan Yan, who founded The Writers’ Co-op, a business podcast and learning academy for freelance creatives.

Wudan will present on the pros and cons of common business structures: sole proprietorship, LLC, and S-Corp, as well as provide tips on how to set each entity up. This is an informal business chat with plenty of time for Q&A.
