Introduction

DOING BUSINESS UNDER A LEGAL ENTITY OR THEIR GIVEN NAME

 

Today’s program is about the distinction between different entities to do business.

There are many types of corporate structures in the United States and some of them are :

1. Regular C-Corporation
2. Sub-Chapter S-Corporation and
3. A, Limited Liability Company

And today We wish to ask our guest about the difference between a Regular C-Corporation, Sub-Chapter S-Corporation and a Limited Liability Company.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why start a C-Corporation to initiate a new business? +

I am going to highlight a few features of a C-Corporation that may be helpful for your listeners to decide if a C-corporation is right for them to start a business. Creating a new corporation varies on a unique situation and today,  I will share with you a general perception rather than my opinion and I recommend that you and your listeners consult with an attorney or a CPA before initiating to form a new entity to start a business.


There are a number of reasons that propel a business owner to do business under a legal business structure rather than under their legal given name.

1. To attract investors -  You can Raise funds by appealing to investors who may prefer corporations for their ability to offer stock.
2. To entice employees - You can offer shares to the top talent of your company to attract to stay.
3. To look more official - Corporations have more clout—which can make it easier to do business with other companies.

What are the main differentiators of a Regular C-Corporation? +

C-corporation has three main differentiators:

One: Formation — C Corporations have considered the default type of corporations. When you file articles of incorporation in your state, you’re designated a C Corp. If you want to be an S Corporation, you’ll need to file Form 2553. There might be other forms to complete as well to stay as an S-Corp. Such as some states want additional paperwork to recognize it as an S-Corporation.


Two: Taxation — C Corporations get taxed twice: the company pays corporate income tax and shareholders pay federal income taxes through dividends they have received.


Three: Ownership — C Corps don’t have restrictions when it comes to ownership. Anyone can be an owner, and there can be as many owners as you’d like. Whereas, S Corps are limited to 100 shareholders who must be U.S. citizens.

Who should form an S-Corporation? +

There are a number of reasons that appeal to a business owner to do business under an S-Corporation rather than a regular C-Corporation or a limited liability company. An, S-Corporation has a few very unique features such as;

 

1. An S-Corporation is Taxed Once.
2. Shareholders pay taxes on profits they have received only once.
3. S Corporations have pass-through taxation. This is when shareholders report business income and losses on a personal tax return. So, the only taxes they face are the ones on their personal tax return.
4. There’s no corporate tax applicable.
5. Currently, and S-Corporation is limited to 100 shareholders who must be U.S. citizens or residents.
6. Owners can only get common stock which comes with voting rights.
7. Since the default filing for corporations is C Corps, there is an extra layer of paperwork to complete for S Corps. Along with that, becoming an S Corporation means you’re subjected to an extra-careful watchful eye from the IRS.
8. You’ll need to make sure you keep a squeaky-clean record, since even one small mistake, like going over the 100-shareholder limit, could cause you to lose your S Corporation status.
9. If you can handle the idea that the IRS is always watching and you don’t feel like you’d have a hard time following the rules, an S Corp might work for you. Otherwise, consider filing as a C Corporation.

Who form a limited liability company which apparently seems very popular? +

If neither a C Corp or S Corp works for you, there are other ways you can set up your business. For instance, you can set up your business as a partnership, trust/estate, sole proprietor or LLC. If you’re planning on being the only person in your company, you might benefit from setting up your company as a sole proprietor or LLC. But keep in mind that as a sole proprietor, there’s virtually no distinction between you and your company. If your company accrues debt, you’re personally responsible for paying it off. And if you don’t, your assets could be seized to pay for that debt. 

However, An LLC also has some unique features that I intend to highlight a few of them:


1. Your liability is limited to the investment you put into your company.
2. Incorporating an LLC protects you against potential lawsuits and gives you a much better opportunity of getting funding in the future, whether through a business credit card or a loan.
3. There’s more paperwork involved in becoming an LLC, just like to incorporate an S Corporation or a C Corporation. 
Selecting an entity depends, what you envision for the future and the comfort level of ownership and taxes you’re willing to take on.
Conclusion

Concluding with a quick recap about the difference between a corporation and an LLC that I have mentioned earlier in this program:

1. Both corporations and limited liability companies protect owners so they're not personally on the hook for business liabilities or debts.
2. An LLC can be treated as a corporation or an S-Corporation, whereas a corporation or an S-Corporation cannot be treated as an LLC.
3. LLCs may have one or more owners whereas corporations have one or more shareholders.
4. Both corporation and limited liability company generally have more formal record-keeping and reporting requirements.
5. Even though LLCs are considered easier to start and maintain, but the investors tend to prefer corporations.
6. Finally, every business requires a business license also along with business name registration to conduct business.
