The Limited Liability Company (LLC) has become one of the most popular business structures for smaller organizations. It allows owners to avoid many of the formalities required by other business types while still providing limited liability protection for its members. Additionally, LLCs benefit from "pass-through" taxation, meaning the company’s income is only taxed on each owner’s personal tax return, not at the business level
An S Corporation (S Corp) is a type of corporation that allows income to pass through to shareholders for tax purposes, avoiding double taxation on corporate income. It provides limited liability protection, meaning shareholders are generally not personally liable for the business's debts. To qualify, an S Corp must have no more than 100 shareholders, all of whom must be U.S. citizens or residents. While S Corps must adhere to formalities like holding annual meetings and keeping minutes, they can be beneficial for small businesses, as shareholders who work for the company are paid a reasonable salary subject to payroll taxes, while additional profits can be distributed as dividends, which aren’t subject to self-employment taxes.
A C Corporation (C Corp) is a legal entity separate from its owners, meaning it is taxed independently, which leads to double taxation: the corporation pays tax on its profits, and shareholders are taxed again on dividends. C Corps provide limited liability protection, shielding shareholders from personal responsibility for the company’s debts. They can have an unlimited number of shareholders, making it easier to raise capital through stock sales. C Corps must adhere to strict regulatory requirements, including annual meetings and detailed record-keeping. This structure is often favored by investors and venture capitalists, as it allows for different classes of stock and supports significant growth ambitions.
A non-profit organization is an entity established to serve a public or mutual benefit rather than generate profit for owners. Focused on specific missions—such as education, health, or social services—non-profits often qualify for tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, allowing them to receive tax-deductible donations. Their revenue typically comes from donations, grants, fundraising events, and service fees, but profits are not distributed to members or directors. Governed by a board of directors, non-profits must adhere to regulations that require transparency and regular reporting to the IRS. Overall, they play a vital role in addressing social issues and promoting community welfare without the aim of making a profit.

Typical C Corporation advantages include limited liability protection, an unlimited number of owners (shareholders), easy transfer of ownership and an unlimited life should any shareholders die, the corporation will not cease to exist. In addition, other C Corporation advantages are the ability to raise capital, tax deductible expenses and a lower audit risk. In addition, forming a business as a C Corporation will provide great credibility compared to a sole proprietorship or general partnership.
When you incorporate a business or register to transact business in another state, you must typically name a registered agent for your company. The registered agent is responsible for receiving important legal and tax documents on behalf of your business. The registered agent must also have a physical address in your state of incorporation and be available during normal business hours. BizFilings provides Registered Agent Service in all states. With BizFilings as your registered agent, we help you: Avoid the risk of non-compliance. Business compliance requirements imposed by your state of incorporation are not likely to be your area of expertise, or interest. As your compliance partner, BizFilings will help you stay in compliance with state requirements for C corporations, avoid unnecessary state penalty fees and maintain your company's good standing in your state of incorporation.Protect your privacy. When a company is served with a Service of Process, it is often delivered by local law enforcement. Most business owners do not want police officers showing up in front of customers, employees or neighbors (in the case of a home-based business), to serve them notice that their company is being sued. Having BizFilings as your registered agent service provider ensures you receive any Service of Process promptly and privately.Fulfill the requirement to be available during normal business hours. The registered agent for a business must be available during normal business hours to accept important documents as they are delivered. Many business owners today set their own hours or are often away from their office or home-office. With BizFilings as your registered agent, we ensure you never miss these important communications.
A Federal Tax ID (EIN) Number, also known as an Employer Identification Number or EIN, is basically a Social Security Number (SSN) for businesses. The identification number is used by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to identify the business, and it must be included on all federal tax filings the business makes. Also, banks generally require an EIN to open a business bank account.
No. You can prepare and file the Articles of Incorporation yourself, but you should understand the requirements of your intended state of incorporation. You can use BizFilings' service to incorporate your business and save money on attorney fees. If you are unsure if incorporation will benefit your business, or what business type you should form, you should consult an attorney or accountant.

But you may be required to register to transact business in your home state and any other states where you operate.To register to transact business in another state (foreign qualify), you must file the appropriate paperwork and pay filing fees. You will also be subject to ongoing filing requirements and fees in both your state of incorporation and state(s) of qualification.To determine the best state of incorporation for your particular business, talk with an attorney or accountant.
