Many business owners have a wonderful idea that offers a solution to a particular problem. However, many business owners do not inherently know the best business entity (LLC, C-Corporation, Partnership, or S-Corporation) to help them fulfill their goals.<\/p>\n

You have started your business and made it profitable through innumerable sacrifices and wise business decisions. You have expanded and hired employees, and now you are starting to think about taking a permanent vacation and retire.<\/p>\n

An LLC offers the liability protection of a corporation and the taxation structure of a partnership. Liability protection prevents you from being personally liable for any liability arising from your business and vice versa. Because an LLC is taxed as partnership, business income is taxed as personal income and not subject to the corporate double taxation.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”What are the advantages of a C-Corporation? ” closed_toggle_background_color=”#f7f7f7″ icon_color=”#43772c” _builder_version=”3.19.10″ title_font=”||||||||” title_text_color=”#302c59″ title_line_height=”1.2em”]<\/p>\n A C-Corporation offers two major advantages: liability protection and scalability. A C-Corporation protects you from liability arising from your business so that creditors or judgment-holders do not easily reach into your personal assets. A C-Corporation is scalable in the sense that many large corporations are C-Corporations. They have very sophisticated governing procedures that are appropriate for large corporations.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”When do I want to form an S-Corporation? ” closed_toggle_background_color=”#f7f7f7″ icon_color=”#43772c” _builder_version=”3.19.10″ title_font=”||||||||” title_text_color=”#302c59″ title_line_height=”1.2em”]<\/p>\n An S-Corporation offers you an advantageous tax structure if you are working your business yourself and within a certain range of corporate income.
