What Is a Corporation?
A corporation is a legal entity separate from its owners. It can issue shares of stock, which represent ownership. Corporations offer strong liability protection and are the preferred structure for businesses seeking outside investment. The two common types are C corporations (taxed separately from owners) and S corporations (pass-through taxation, with eligibility requirements). The right choice depends on your ownership, tax, and growth plans.
- Strong liability protection
- Ability to issue stock and raise capital
- Preferred by investors
