LLC or Corporation?

One of the most common questions when starting a new business deals with how to file. A limited liability company (LLC) is one of the most common choices for businesses. LLCs protect the owners from liabilities that could occur in the course of business. Another benefit of LLCs is the flexibility of structure and pass-through taxation. Pass-through taxation means taxes are not paid at the business level, but rather are reported on your personal tax return. Corporations (S-Corp or C-Corp) are a great option as well. S-Corps are pass-through tax entities, just like LLCs. C-Corps are taxed as separate entities, so any personal salaries taken from the C-Corp would be taxed again, resulting in double taxation. Depending on your particular business, one may be more preferential than the other. It is important that you speak to an attorney with a thorough understanding of LLCs and corporations before filing.

How Do I Get Started?
