Does your employer offer a 401(k) plan? If so, contributing to it is a wise way to build a substantial nest egg. If you’re not already contributing the maximum allowed, consider increasing the amount. With a 401(k), an employee elects to have a certain amount of pay deferred and contributed by an employer on his or her behalf to the plan. The contribution limit for 2023 is $22,500. Employees age 50 and older by year end are also permitted to make additional “catch-up” contributions of $7,500 in 2023, for a total limit of $30,000. The amounts are up quite a bit from 2022 due to inflation. In 2022, you could contribute $20,500 with a $6,500 catch-up contribution for those age 50 and older.

FAQs

What is the difference between a corporation and an LLC?

A corporation is a distinct entity, separate of the individuals who own and operate it. Therefore, those individuals are generally not personally liable for corporate legal matters. A common, practical explanation is that a corporation exists as a legal entity in the same sense that an individual does. A corporation operates with generally the same rights and responsibilities as an individual, meaning that it is accountable for its own activities, such as paying taxes, being insured, protecting itself in legal matters (either as a plaintiff or a defendant), borrowing money and having a voice in political matters.

Which organizational structure is best for me?

Before making this choice, you must consider that your choices are not limited to setting up a corporation or an LLC. Establishing a sole proprietorship or a partnership may be better. There are many things to consider in making this kind of decision. Generally, a sole proprietorship would be appropriate for a very small business. As the (potential) size and complexity of the company increases, the concepts of a partnership, a limited liability company, or a corporation tend to become more advantageous, in that order. The choice is typically how much of your personal assets, if any, you are willing to put at risk.

Who should be the legal representative for my business?

Most states require that your company has an Agent registered with the state. All governmental and legal correspondence is funneled through that Agent.

Why do I need an Apostille and what does it do for me?

An Apostille is required for legal transactions where a document from one country must be presented in another as part of a legal process. It assures the country of presentation that the signatures on the document and the signatures of those who have verified the documents are authentic. The essential benefits of an Apostille are to protect against fraud and to eliminate unnecessary red tape.

Why does my document require Embassy Legalization?

When a country is not party to The Hague Convention (which developed and uses the Apostille method of authentication), your documents must be authorized by the in-country embassy or consulate of the country of intended use for final legalization.
