Establish your Corporation

C-Corporation

A C-Corp is a legal entity that is separate from its owners, known as shareholders. This separation provides the shareholders with limited liability protection, much like an LLC. However, one of the key differences lies in taxation. C-Corps are subject to corporate income tax; they pay taxes on their profits at the corporate level, and then shareholders also pay taxes on any dividends received, leading to what is known as “double taxation.” This structure is more common among larger companies or those seeking to raise capital through public stock offerings.

 

S-Corporation

An S-Corp is a special designation that allows corporations to avoid double taxation. To qualify, the corporation must meet specific Internal Revenue Service (IRS) criteria, such as having no more than 100 shareholders and only one class of stock. Unlike C-Corps, S-Corps are “pass-through” entities for tax purposes. This means that profits and losses are reported on the individual tax returns of the shareholders, similar to an LLC.

Questions we are frequently asked

The main difference lies in taxation and ownership structure. C-Corps face double taxation, with the corporation paying corporate income tax and shareholders paying personal income tax on dividends. They have unlimited shareholders and flexibility in stock classes. In contrast, S-Corps are pass-through entities, avoiding corporate income tax, but have ownership restrictions, limited to 100 U.S. citizen/resident shareholders with one stock class. S-Corps allocate profits based on ownership, while C-Corps offer more flexibility. If you are not sure which one would match your needs, we can of course help you choose!

C-Corps are ideal for businesses that plan to reinvest their profits back into the company, seek to raise capital through public stock offerings, or anticipate going public in the future.

S-Corps are pass-through entities: unlike a C-Corp, an S-Corp itself does not pay federal income tax. Instead, its income, deductions, and credits pass through to shareholders, who report them on their individual tax returns. This avoids double taxation at the corporate and individual levels, commonly associated with C-Corps.

No, one of the limitations of an S-Corp is that it can only have one class of stock. This restriction is in place to maintain its pass-through taxation status.

S-Corps are limited to 100 shareholders, and all shareholders must be U.S. citizens or resident aliens. This is in contrast to C-Corps, which have no restrictions on the number or nationality of shareholders.
