What is a C-Corp & How Does It Work?

A C-Corporation (C-Corp) is a legal business entity separate from its owners, providing liability protection and allowing for unlimited shareholders. It is the preferred structure for startups and businesses looking to raise capital, as it can issue stock and attract investors.

A C-Corp is registered in a U.S. state, follows corporate governance rules, and pays corporate taxes. Profits are taxed at the corporate level, and dividends may be taxed again at the shareholder level (double taxation).

Benefits of a C-Corp?

Limited Liability Protection

Owners’ assets are protected from business debts and legal claims, reducing financial risk.

Easier Access to Capital

C-Corps can raise large amounts of capital by selling stock, making them attractive to investors and entrepreneurs.

Flexible Ownership & Growth

Shares are freely transferable, allowing businesses to expand and attract passive investors seeking stock ownership.

Lower Corporate Tax Rate on Reinvested Profits

Unlike LLCs and S Corps, C-Corps can reinvest earnings at the corporate tax rate, potentially reducing the overall tax burden.
