Avoid making a costly mistake by engaging the incorporation and new business adviser services offered by AccountAbility Specialists Inc. Here is a brief rundown of several common forms of incorporation.
Limited Liability Company (LLC)
An LLC is somewhat similar to a corporation or a partnership. The LLC protects the owners or members from personal liability for the company’s financial obligations. Depending on the number of members, it could be treated as a non-corporate business organization for tax purposes with no separate business tax return required or as a partnership. An LLC requires an organizational agreement similar to a partnership agreement and must file articles of organization with the Secretary of State.
Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)
A Limited Liability Partnership has two types of partners – general and limited. General partners have management authority as well as personal liability for the firm’s obligations, while limited partners are simply cash investors with no management authority and liability for only the amount they have invested. An LLP is not a separate tax-paying entity and is often formed with a C or S corporation as a general partnership.
C Corporation
A C corporation is a separate legal entity, so its owners or shareholders have no personal liability for the company’s financial obligations. The corporation is taxed on its income and shareholders also must pay taxes on any dividends or income they receive.
S Corporation
An S corporation is similar to a C corporation in many ways, but the company itself does not pay taxes. Shareholders must report income from the business on their personal tax returns. A company must meet strict legal requirements to qualify as an S corporation.
