Selecting the appropriate business structure is a crucial decision for entrepreneurs, impacting liability protection, taxation, management, and compliance. This article compares LLCs and Corporations to help business owners make informed choices. Key Differences: Liability Protection – Both entities shield personal assets from business liabilities, but Corporations require stricter formalities (e.g., annual meetings, corporate minutes). Taxation – LLCs have pass-through taxation by default, avoiding corporate taxes but potentially increasing self-employment taxes. Corporations face double taxation (C Corps) or limited ownership rules (S Corps). Management Structure – LLCs offer flexibility (owners manage or appoint managers), while Corporations follow a structured hierarchy (board of directors, officers, shareholders). Compliance – LLCs have fewer record-keeping requirements, while Corporations must follow strict governance rules.
