It is incorrect because it does not follow the English grammar syntax rules where the sentences begins with subject verb and object. However, if it's informal writing then it's okay.

Sometimes it's fine. Do you have an example of a sentence that is considered improper?

Is isn't if you finish that part with a comma (if not it is a sentance fragment I believe).
For example
Being that apples are red, it is easy to assume that the apple in the story is red as well.
This can also be: It is easy to assume that the apple in the story is red as well being that apples are red.
Get it? Me neither really, but it IS improper!

i agree with the first answerer
its like how some teachers say you can't start a sentence with "because"
but check out the example:
Because she is big, she cannot fit through the door
its a dependent clause, and it acts as an adjective to describe the subject "she"

I have never heard that.
'Being away from home is difficult for some children.'
'Being a large person, he found it easy to pick up the fallen branch.'
'Being in love is wonderful, they say.'
