Frequently Asked Questions

Limited Liability Company (LLC)

What is an LLC? 

An LLC, or Limited Liability Company, is a business structure formed with the state that can shield the owners (known as members) from personal liability while providing operational flexibility. This structure is often chosen because it combines the liability protection of a corporation with the tax and administrative flexibility of a partnership. 

  • Single-Member LLCs: Owned by one individual or entity. 
  • Multi-Member LLCs: Owned by two or more members, which can be individuals, corporations, other LLCs, or foreign entities. 
  • Series LLCs: Available in certain states, allowing a single LLC to segregate its assets into separate series or cells, each with legal protection from liabilities of other series within the same LLC.
  • Closed LLCs: Typically structured with restrictions on transferability of shares and tighter controls on membership, often used to keep ownership within a specific group or family. Not available in all states.
  • Limited Liability: Members are not personally liable for business debts or claims, which protects personal assets. 
  • Flexibility: LLCs have more control over their management and business structure decisions. 
  • Pass-Through taxes: LLCs typically benefit from pass-through taxes, which means the company itself is not taxed. Instead, profits and losses are passed on the members’ personal tax returns.  
  • Credibility: Having LLC in the business name can enhance credibility with potential customers and partners. 

C-Corporation

What is a corporation? 

A corporation is a legal entity that is separate from its owners. It can own property, enter into contracts, sue and be sued. Incorporating a business protects its owners’ personal assets from the corporation’s liabilities and debts. 

There are several types of corporations, including: 

  • C-Corporation: A standard corporation that is taxed separately from its owners. 
  • S-Corporation: Allows profits and some losses to be passed directly to owners’ personal income without being subject to corporate tax rates. 
  • Nonprofit Corporation: Can be set up as public, mutual, or religious organization. Each state has different requirements. Currently, we only offer services in Wyoming and handle state-level setup only. We do not manage tax-exempt status applications with the IRS.
  • Close C-Corps: Typically structured with restrictions on share transferability to keep ownership within a predetermined group, such as family members. Designed to prevent outside takeover, offering more control over the company’s direction and management to its existing shareholders.

Incorporating as a C-corp offers benefits such as: 

  • Limited Liability: Shareholders, officers, and directors are generally not responsible for the company’s debts unless they break corporate laws.
  • Capital Generation: The company can raise funds through various means such as selling stocks (common or preferred), issuing bonds, borrowing money, mortgaging assets, or securing different types of financing.
  • Continuity of Life: The business can continue indefinitely as long as it complies with corporate regulations, even if an owner or manager passes away.
  • Ease of Ownership Transfer: Ownership can be easily transferred through the sale or transfer of stock.
  • Centralized Management: The company is managed by officers who follow the board of directors’ guidance, streamlining decision-making and operations.

S-Corporation

What is an S-Corp? 

An S-Corporation (S-Corp) is a type of corporation that meets specific Internal Revenue Code requirements, giving it a special tax status. The main feature of an S-Corp is that it allows profits and some losses to be passed directly to the owners’ personal income without being subject to corporate tax rates, thus avoiding double taxation. 

The primary benefit of an S-Corp is its tax treatment: 

  • Corporate Attributes: Provides shareholders with limited personal liability and ensures the corporation’s ongoing existence.
  • Tax Advantage: The corporation itself doesn’t pay income tax. Instead, gains and losses are passed through to shareholders, who are taxed in a way similar to partners in a partnership.
  • Early Loss Benefit: It’s common for corporations to operate at a loss in their initial years. Shareholders can benefit from these losses by reducing their personal taxable income.

To qualify as an S-corp, the corporation must: 

  • Be a domestic corporation. 
  • Have only allowable shareholders, including individuals, certain trusts, and not partnerships, corporations, or non-resident alien shareholders. 
  • Have no more than 100 shareholders. 
  • Have only one class of stock. 
  • Not be an ineligible corporation (i.e., certain financial institutions, insurance companies, and domestic international sales corporations). 

All shareholders must also consent to the S-Corp election.
