Forming a new business entity is one of the most important steps in protecting your personal assets. Our expert team can help you choose the best structure for your business, and set up your company quickly and efficiently.
Understanding Entity Formation: The Basics
Separate Legal Entity
Forming a business entity creates a separate legal entity from its owners, protecting your personal assets from business liabilities.
Limited Liability
This separation shields your personal assets (home, car, savings) from business debts or lawsuits.
Entity Formation
Depending on the entity type, you may enjoy tax benefits like lower rates or deductions.
Credibility and Trust
A formal entity structure enhances your business's credibility and makes it easier to secure funding or partnerships.
Choosing the Right Entity Type: Inc., LLC, S-Corp, or C-Corp,
Incorporation (Inc.)
Incorporation (Inc.) provides liability protection, separating your personal assets from business liabilities.
LLC
An LLC offers pass-through taxation and liability protection, making it a popular choice for small businesses.
S-CORP
An S-Corp provides pass-through taxation, meaning profits and losses are reported on your personal tax return, avoiding double taxation.
C-CORP
A C-Corp offers greater flexibility for raising capital and is suitable for larger companies with complex ownership structures.

Advantages of LLC Formation
Limited Liability Protection
An LLC shields your personal assets from business debts and lawsuits. This means that if your business incurs debt or faces a legal claim, your personal property, such as your home, car, or savings, are generally protected.
Pass-Through Taxation
LLCs are typically taxed as pass-through entities, meaning that profits and losses flow through directly to the owners' personal income tax returns. This can result in lower tax liabilities compared to corporations, as you avoid double taxation on profits.
Advantages of S-Corp Formation
Limited Liability Protection
Like other corporate structures, S-Corps provide limited liability protection, shielding personal assets from business debts and liabilities.
Pass-Through Taxation
S-Corps offer pass-through taxation, meaning profits and losses are passed through to the owners' personal income taxes. This avoids double taxation at the corporate level, making it more tax-efficient than a C-corp.
Advantages of C-Corp Formation
Pass-Through Taxation
C-corporations are popular for companies seeking to raise capital through the sale of stock. They can offer various advantages, including:

Advantages of Incorporation (Inc.)
Limited Liability Protection
An incorporated business, often referred to as a "C-Corp," provides a legal shield that protects your personal assets from business liabilities. This means that creditors cannot pursue your personal belongings (home, car, savings) to settle business debts.
Pass-Through Taxation
The "Inc." designation carries weight in the business world. Customers and partners may perceive an incorporated company as more established and trustworthy, potentially opening doors to new opportunities.
Fundraising Potential
Incorporation often makes it easier to raise capital through investors. It allows for the issuance of stock, enabling you to attract outside funding and fuel growth.
