The Impact of Business Structure on Your Success

Each type of business entity has distinct advantages and disadvantages, especially concerning taxation, liability protection, and management. Our business formation lawyers can help you better understand these differences and determine the structure that best suits your business objectives.

Pros: More resources due to multiple owners; shared responsibility for decisions; profits pass through directly to personal tax returns.

Limited Liability Company (LLC): An LLC blends elements of corporations and partnerships/sole proprietorships. It shields members from personal liabilities while allowing pass-through taxation.

Pros: Limited liability protection; flexibility in management and operation; easy transfer of ownership.
Cons: Complexity and expense in some states; varying treatment at state and federal levels.

S Corporation (S Corp): Designed to allow small corporations to benefit from favorable pass-through taxation, S Corps offers advantages, like avoiding double taxation.

Pros: Avoidance of double taxation; greater credibility in the marketplace; easier investment attraction.
Cons: Eligibility restrictions; higher regulatory scrutiny; complexity in filing requirements.

C Corporation (C Corp): A traditional incorporated entity offering significant separation between entities but subject to comprehensive regulation and potential double taxation.

Pros: Ability to raise funds through various methods; potentially deductible employee benefits; reduced risk for members.
Cons: Complex and costly formation and operation; subjected to international earnings taxation.
