Welcome solo and group practice owners! We are Liath Dalton and Evan Dumas, your co-hosts of Group Practice Tech.

In our latest episode, we interview attorney Dan Pepitone about how to choose the right business entity for your group practice.

We discuss:

  • Building a strong business foundation to reduce risk and exposure to liability
  • The distinctions between different business entities, and tax implications for each
  • Why some states like New York and California require behavioral health care providers to practice under a professional entity like a PC or PLLC
  • When you need to register your business in other states where you plan to practice, and what to consider before expanding into other states
  • Considerations when choosing a business entity for your practice
  • When to revisit the entity you've chosen for your practice
  • What ongoing legal maintenance is required for preserving your business entity
