If you are looking to incorporate your business, one of the most common types of corporations is a C-corporation. A C-corporation is a state-incorporated business that is for-profit. This type of corporation offers many advantages to business owners. Incorporating can be a complex process, therefore the legal assistance of a C-Corporation lawyer is vital if you wish to incorporate your current business.
A C-Corporation can:
- Make business deals
- Own property
- Sue other businesses independently of the shareholders
With
a C-Corporation, tax procedures are different. IRS form 1120 is used to
file separate income taxes while corporate taxes are regularly paid for
the business. The advantage that
results is that a business owner
is not personally responsible for any debt that is incurred by the
company. An attorney can help to eliminate the stress and confusion
that may come with
incorporating your business.
Due
to a number of regulations, there are many formalities that must be
followed when creating a C-Corporation. Depending on which state you
live in, there may be requirements that include minutes being taken at
officer appointments and Board of Director/shareholder meetings.
Additionally, certain records must receive a certain level of
maintenance. Most states have these types of requirements. Also, in a
C-Corporation, shareholders and the Board of Directors play a big part
because of their ownership rights.
