TUE, May 21st, 2024
16.00 - 17.00 CET (Amsterdam)
Description
Setting up or expanding your mission-driven business isn’t just about choosing the right legal entity; it often involves juggling multiple forms, especially if your operations or team are in several countries or require a hybrid structure that combines commercial and non-commercial entities.
In this focused session we’ll explore:
- What are your options? Understanding available structures and when to choose a standard commercial entity or a purpose-specific one.
- How do you choose? Key factors to consider and research when selecting the right structure.
- How does the entity structure impact your strategy? Learn how your choice affects funding, mission safeguarding, and future exits.
Join us to learn easy tips, ask questions, and gain insights from experts as we explore the global landscape of options available to mission-driven businesses.
