Your business type options

Business formation options have unique features and benefits. Use this table to determine which is right for you.

LLC

S-Corp

C-Corp

LLC

The simplest, most flexible way to structure your business to protect personal assets.

How It's Unique

  • Unlimited owners (members) allowed
  • Cannot issue stock
  • Board of directors not required

Protections & Taxation*

  • You're not personally on the hook for business liabilities
  • Pass through taxation—income generated passes to the LLC owners to file on their personal taxes.

Drawbacks to Consider

  • Ongoing filings and fees to stay in compliance
  • LLCs can't go public
  • Not recognized globally; you may be taxed as a corporation outside U.S.

Starts at $0 + state filing fees

S-Corp Election

A tax designation for LLCs that avoids double taxation on business profits.

How It’s Unique

  • Maximium of 100 owners
  • S-Corp is a tax status for LLCs and not an official business entity type
  • Owners must pay themselves a reasonable salary for their industry
  • Avoids double taxation on profits

Protections & Taxation*

  • LLC owners filing as an s-corp can save money on their personal taxes
  • Pass through taxation—similar to an LLC, profits are only taxed at the owner level

Drawbacks to Consider

  • Ongoing filings and fees to stay in compliance
  • All owners must be U.S. citizens and meet all IRS requirements
  • Closer IRS scrutiny for the business

Starts at $0 + state filing fees

C-Corp

A more complex structure with the ability to issue shares, go public, or go global.

How It’s Unique

  • Unlimited owners (members) allowed
  • Can issue shares to founders, employees, and investors
  • Owners may get preferred stock
  • Preferred for equity financing and attracting investors

Protections & Taxation*

  • You're not personally on the hook for business liabilities
  • Taxed twice—business pays at the corporate level, and shareholders pay on income received

Drawbacks to Consider

  • Ongoing filings and fees to stay in compliance
  • Less management flexibility; must have a board of directors
  • More admin; strict rules about holding meetings and keeping records

Starts at $0 + state filing fees

*ZenBusiness does not offer tax advice. We recommend you discuss questions or concerns about tax implications and benefits with an accountant or tax professional.
