Navigating Business Structures:
LLC vs S-Corp

As an entrepreneur, it can be a challenging task to decide which business entity is the best fit for your business. It's even more daunting when you realize there are a myriad of business entities to choose from. While Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) and S Corporations (S-Corps) are popular choices, there are significant differences between the two.

​

LLCs are flexible business entity that affords liability protection like corporations. Unlike corporations, LLCs are not double-taxed, and their owners only report profits or losses on their individual tax returns. LLCs are also flexible in terms of management structure, and the owners can choose to be managed by the owners (member-managed) or elect a manager to oversee operations.

On the other hand, S-Corps are corporations (albeit with a special tax election) that also offer liability protection and pass-through taxation. However, unlike LLCs, S-Corps must have a board of directors, file corporate tax returns, and have a number of other compliance requirements before they're allowed to operate.
