You probably have a lot of to-dos on your list. One important first step is to identify the right <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/small-business-owners\/business-entity-101\/\">business entity<\/a> for your venture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you contemplate which path to take, you might come across two options: a limited liability company (LLC) and a C Corporation (C corp). The difference between a C Corp and an LLC is not clear-cut, however. Both terms refer to state business designations. For federal taxes, corporations always file corporate tax returns, but an LLC has more flexibility in how it\u2019s taxed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"LLC vs. C Corp | Block Advisors\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xE5JhnhBmJI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-c-corporation-vs-llc-what-s-the-difference\">C Corporation vs. LLC: What\u2019s the difference?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you identify the structure that\u2019s best for your business, let\u2019s define them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-an-llc\">What is an LLC?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A limited liability company, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/small-business-owners\/llc-taxes\/\">LLC<\/a>, is an entity set up under state statutes.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/C-Corporation-Whiteboarding.jpg\" alt=\"llc vs c corp brainstorm\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>This business structure combines the flexibility and lack of formalities of a sole proprietorship and partnership with the limited liability protections of a corporation. That\u2019s right\u2014it provides legal personal liability protection for its owners or members\u2014so you usually can\u2019t be sued for personal assets.

You have to choose between a default tax method or elect to be taxed as a specific IRS-recognized business entity. (In fact, you can even elect for your business to be an LLC taxed as a C Corp.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An LLC may have a single member or multi-members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-create-block-hrb-large-article-cta\" class=\"wp-block-create-block-hrb-large-article-cta\" style=\"background-color:#005d1f\"><div class=\"hrb-large-article-cta--image\" style=\"background-image:url(&quot;https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/HMC_Graphic.png&quot;);background-size:contain;background-position:center;background-repeat:no-repeat\"><\/div><div class=\"hrb-large-article-cta--copy #ffffff\"><h3 class=\"main-heading\">What entity structure is right for my business?<\/h3><p class=\"main-copy\">Answer these six questions to help you find your fit.<\/p><div class=\"quick-links-list\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/business-formation-incorporation-services\/?app_method=HELP_ME_CHOOSE_ENTITY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Take the Quiz<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-a-c-corporation\">What is a C Corporation?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A C Corporation is a legal and IRS-recognized business entity that\u2019s best for businesses looking to keep their profits in the business. A C Corporation pays tax twice: first as income tax at the corporate rate, and secondly as shareholders when they pay income tax on dividends they receive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>C Corporations must disclose performance in an annual report and follow other corporate formalities. A C Corporation\u2019s legal structure limits an owner\u2019s financial liabilities, similar to an LLC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most large corporations in America are taxed as C Corporations. Corporations may also elect to be taxed as S Corporations, and many small businesses choose this election.

It manages the business, realizes net income or loss, pays taxes, and dispenses profits to its shareholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few facts about C Corporations from the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/businesses\/small-businesses-self-employed\/forming-a-corporation\" target=\"_blank\">IRS<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol style=\"list-style-type:1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It generally takes the same deductions as a sole proprietorship to determine taxable income.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It can make special tax deductions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-c-corp-vs-llc-taxes\">C Corp vs. LLC taxes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>C Corporations file taxes using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/small-business-tax-prep\/form-1120\/\">IRS Form 1120<\/a>. Profits are not passed through to the shareholders\u2019 individual tax returns.

Block Advisors is here to help you make sense of the significant tax considerations for this important business decision. As part of your tax prep with one of our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/small-business-tax-preparation\/\">certified <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/small-business-tax-preparation\/\">small business tax pros,<\/a> you can get insight into the potential business entity tax classifications and how they could impact your taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pros-of-c-corps-vs-llcs\">Pros of C Corps vs. LLCs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First, we\u2019ll dive into C Corps. There are a few benefits of C Corporations, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol style=\"list-style-type:1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>There\u2019s no liability for non-active stockholders. (Non-active shareholders are common in family businesses.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There\u2019s no restriction on ownership. This means that there aren\u2019t restrictions on the number of investors, allowing for ample growth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ownership can be transferred through the sale of stock.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>C Corporations are a separate entity from stockholders. So, it&#8217;s taxed on its profits.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This entity type allows for fringe benefits (non-monetary compensation for work) for employees, owners, or officers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shareholders have a reduced tax rate on capital gains on the sale of&nbsp;qualifying small business stocks. The corporate tax rate is 21%.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>With C Corps, anyone can own shares including business entities and foreign individuals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>C Corps have perpetual existence. This means there\u2019s no end date to operating a C corp. An LLC may have a limited lifespan under state law, and members may be able to choose if the LLC will end on a set date. You can also elect to have a perpetual LLC.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>C Corps can raise capital by issuing or selling stock. Additionally, the transfer of stocks is not difficult with this form of business structure.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, it\u2019s considered a good structure for businesses with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ownership in multiple other business entities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Significant exposure to liability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the intention to exist forever<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cons-of-c-corps\">Cons of C Corps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Disadvantages of C Corps include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol style=\"list-style-type:1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Double taxation of profits \u2013 A C Corp\u2019s profits are taxed as business income and then taxed again to the shareholders when dividends are distributed, creating a double tax. A C corporation doesn\u2019t get a tax deduction when distributing shareholder dividends.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shareholders can\u2019t deduct any loss from the corporation to reduce their overall taxable income at an individual level.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>C corporations can be complex and expensive to create and maintain due to formalities such as the drafting of bylaws by an attorney, electing a board of directors and executives, and the issuance of stock, just to name a few.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They require observing corporate formalities such as regular board of directors\u2019 meetings and minutes. Plus, there are additional tax returns to file annually.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Wondering how LLC vs. C Corp stacks up? In summary, LLCs are easier to form and operate from a tax perspective. But, if you\u2019re looking to grow your empire, then a C Corp might be for you.
