In order to form a LLC, Articles of Organization  have to be prepared and filed with the Secretary of State where the business is going to operate. The Articles are the main filing document which begins the LLC’s existence under state law. Once filed, the LLC comes into existence.

Generally, most jurisdictions require Articles of Organization to contain, at a minimum, information about the following:

• Corporate Name
• Business address
• Main activity
• Name and address of the Registered Agent.
• Name and Address of initial Members.

A general corporation, also known as a “C” corporation, is the most common corporate structure. A general corporation may have an unlimited number of stockholders. Consequently, it is usually chosen by those companies planning to have more than 30 stockholders or large public stock offerings. Since a corporation is a separate legal entity, a stockholder’s personal liability is usually limited to the amount of investment in the corporation and no more.

In order to Incorporate a C Corporation, “Articles of Incorporation” have to be prepared and filed with the Secretary of State where the business is going to operate. The Articles of Incorporation are the main filing document which begins the corporation’s existence under state law. Once filed, the corporation comes into existence.

A Sub-chapter S Corporation is a general corporation that has elected a special tax status with the IRS after the corporation has been formed.

Sub-chapter S election allows “pass through” of income, expenses, depreciation, profits and loses directly to the shareholder(s) without taxation at the corporate level.

For instance, when a general corporation makes a profit, it pays a federal corporate income tax on that profit. If the company also declares a dividend, the stockholders must report the dividend as personal income and pay more taxes.

S Corporations avoid this “double taxation” (once at the corporate level and again at the personal level) because all income or loss is reported only once on the personal tax returns of the stockholders.

In order to make the election to be treated as a S Corporation, IRS Form 2553 has to be filed within 75 days after the incorporation date. ActiveFilings.com can prepare this form and provide you filing instructions so you make sure that the new status will be accepted by the IRS.

For many small businesses, the S Corporation offers the best of both worlds, combining the tax advantages of a sole proprietorship or partnership with the limited liability and enduring life of a corporate structure.

As with any other type of entity, Articles of Incorporation have to be prepared and filed with the Secretary of State where the entity is going to operate. The Nonprofit’s “Articles of Incorporation” is the main filing document which begins the nonprofit corporation’s existence under state law.

The articles of incorporation declare the desire of a group of people to become a nonprofit corporation. It spells out certain minimum information about the nonprofit that is required by the laws of the state. They are more complex than other for-profit entities.
