Understanding Business Structures: LLCs and Corporations
Forming a Limited Liability Company (LLC)
A Limited Liability Company (LLC) is a popular business structure due to its flexibility and protection of personal assets. An LLC combines the benefits of a corporation with those of a partnership or sole proprietorship. Here are some key advantages of forming an LLC:
- Limited Liability Protection: Owners (members) are typically not personally liable for the debts and liabilities of the business.
- Flexible Management Structure: LLCs can be managed by the members or by appointed managers.
- Pass-Through Taxation: Profits and losses can be passed through to the members' personal tax returns, avoiding double taxation.
Our attorneys at Farrar & Williams, PLLC will assist you in preparing and filing the Articles of Organization, creating an operating agreement, and ensuring compliance with all state requirements.
Forming a Corporation
Corporations are more complex business structures that are suitable for companies looking to raise capital and offer shares of stock. There are two main types of corporations: C Corporations and S Corporations. Each has its benefits and requirements:
- C Corporation: Offers unlimited growth potential through the sale of stock and allows for a broad range of shareholders. However, it is subject to double taxation—taxes on the corporation’s income and again on dividends paid to shareholders.
- S Corporation: Allows profits to be passed directly to shareholders without being subject to corporate tax rates. However, there are restrictions on the number and type of shareholders.
At Farrar & Williams, PLLC, we will help you determine the most suitable type of corporation for your business. Our services include drafting and filing the Articles of Incorporation, creating bylaws, issuing stock certificates, and ensuring compliance with all regulatory requirements.
