Products / Incorporation
Business incorporation is one of the most important steps in the process of forming a company. Whether you plan to maintain a low profile or shoot for the stars, incorporating your organization will help protect the personal assets of proprietors, shareholders, investors, and employees. Incorporation is also the most popular business filing for large organizations, as they offer the broadest array of tax incentives and liability protections.
Many startups incorporate to make themselves more available to capital investment and credit financing, as financiers often prefer to deal with established corporations over fledgling partnerships of proprietorships. So depending on your financing or investment situation, incorporation may be necessary.
Business owners also incorporate because corporations exist independently of their proprietors. Accordingly, the departure of a shareholder will not force officials to dissolve or even restructure the enterprise.
Some organizations incorporate under the S Corporation status. In this legal structure, income and losses are "passed through" to shareholders and included on individual tax returns. This essentially bypasses the "double tax" burden incurred by profits distributed to the corporation and its shareholders. An S Corporation can also hold up to 100 shareholders, which increases the potential for capital investment.
Every fledgling business should incorporate or file for some sort of asset protection status. Today's legal and regulatory environment is too extensive to overlook. By filing for incorporation, business owners will protect their personal assets - including savings, home equity, and other forms of property - from obligations incurred by their organization. There are also a number of tax incentives for incorporating. For example, a corporation is not required to pay tax on earnings distributed as reasonable compensation, and it can deduct these payments as a business expense. Some profits earned as a corporation can also be retained without tax reporting obligations.
