A free, educational, online workshop for women thinking of starting or growing a business.

Author : Polina Tarnopolsky, Ruslana Golunova

Feeling stuck at the starting line? You're not alone.

Many women want to start a business but feel overwhelmed by questions like:

Do I need an LLC?
What even is an S‑Corp?
Where do I register?
What actually matters at the beginning — and what doesn't?

This workshop is designed to give you clarity before you file anything.

What you’ll learn in this beginner-friendly session:
No legal jargon. No pressure. Just clarity.
The most common U.S. business entity types (in plain English)
Real‑life examples of when each structure makes sense
How business registration works at a high level
Common mistakes new founders make - and how to avoid them
When it makes sense to get help instead of guessing

No prior business required.
