Starting a business can be exciting and confusing at the same time.
Don't we know!
One of the first things you need to do is decide how you want your business to be structured.
There are three main options: LLC (Limited Liability Company), S-Corp (S Corporation), and Inc (Incorporated).
LLC
An LLC is a type of business structure that combines the simplicity of a sole proprietorship or partnership with the limited liability protection of a corporation. This means that owners of an LLC, also known as "members", are not personally responsible for the company's debts or liabilities. Instead, their personal assets are protected. This is one of the main benefits of an LLC. Another benefit is that the company itself pays taxes on its profits, rather than the owners having to pay taxes on their personal tax returns.
S-Corp
An S-Corp is a type of corporation that gets its name from the section of the tax code that allows it to be taxed differently from a regular corporation. The main benefit of an S-Corp is that it allows the owners, also known as "shareholders", to pay only one set of taxes on their personal tax returns for both their personal income and the company's profits. This can result in significant tax savings for the owners.
Incorporated
Incorporated means that a business has formed a corporation, which is a separate legal entity from its owners. This means that the owners, also known as "shareholders", are not personally responsible for the company's debts or liabilities. This is one of the main benefits of incorporating. Another benefit is that a corporation can raise money by selling shares of stock, which can help the company grow and expand.
So, which one is right for you?
The type of business structure you choose will depend on several factors, including the size and type of your business, how many owners you have, and your goals for the company.
If you're just starting out and don't expect to have many employees or a lot of debt, an LLC might be the best choice for you.
If you have multiple owners and want to take advantage of tax savings, an S-Corp might be a good option.
If you're planning to go public or raise a lot of money, incorporating might be the best choice.
In conclusion, choosing the right business structure for your company is an important decision.
It's important to understand the benefits and drawbacks of each option and to talk to a lawyer or tax professional before making a decision.
With the right structure, you can set your business up for success and help ensure that it runs smoothly for years to come.
