C‑Corporations
A C‑Corporation is a highly respected and time‑tested business structure commonly chosen by companies that want to raise significant capital while shielding individual owners from personal liability. As an independent legal “person,” a corporation can exist indefinitely, own assets in its own name, enter into contracts, file lawsuits or be sued, transfer ownership interests with relative ease, obtain financing, secure loans with its assets, and even pursue bankruptcy protection when needed.
S‑Corporations
An S‑Corporation is a standard business corporation or close corporation that has successfully elected a special tax status with the IRS by meeting specific eligibility requirements. Domestic corporations with 100 or fewer shareholders, all in a single class of stock and all either U.S. citizens or resident aliens, may choose S‑Corporation status so that profits and losses, as well as certain credits and deductions, are passed directly through to shareholders, similar to the way partnerships are taxed.
LLCs
A Limited Liability Company (LLC) is a flexible business entity that allows profits and losses, along with applicable credits and deductions, to pass through directly to its members in a manner comparable to partnership taxation. This structure helps avoid the potential issue of corporate “double taxation,” making the LLC an attractive option for entrepreneurs seeking liability protection combined with tax efficiency.
Close Corporations
Close Corporations are recognized in select states, such as Wyoming, and are designed specifically for smaller businesses with a limited number of shareholders. These shareholders typically share strong personal or professional connections, often as family members, friends, or long‑term business partners, providing a more closely held and controlled corporate environment.
Close LLCs
A Close LLC operates in many ways like a traditional LLC, but with important restrictions designed to keep ownership within a select group. The primary distinction is that a member who wishes to sell an ownership interest must first offer those shares to the other existing members before transferring them to any outside party.

Non‑Profit Corporations
A nonprofit, or not‑for‑profit, corporation is an organization structured to use any surplus revenues in furtherance of its mission and objectives rather than distributing funds to owners as profits or dividends. This model supports charitable, educational, religious, and other public‑benefit purposes by reinvesting resources into achieving the organization’s goals.
