Types of Businesses

When forming a business in Florida, you’ll discover that there are various types of business entities from which you may choose. The most common include the following:

  • “C” Corporation: An important aspect of a “C” corporation is the fact that it is a separate entity from those who own it. That means that the owners and shareholders assume little to no personal risk in daily business operations. The corporation as well as the shareholders pay taxes.
  • “S” Corporation: This type of entity is set up in the same manner as the “C” Corporation, with the exception that taxes are paid by the shareholders and not the corporation.
  • Limited Liability Company (LLC): The various partners in an LLC control company shares. Each partner’s liability for the operation of the business is related to his/her level of investment. Shareholders and not individuals are responsible for taxes.

Each entity has its own set of benefits, liabilities, risks, and tax implications that must be weighed based on your unique circumstances and business goals, we can guide and help you choose the appropriate structure for your business.
