Choosing between an LLC and a Corporation (C-Corp) depends on the structure, shareholders, and expected revenue model.
LLC:
-
Ideal for freelancers, e-shops, agencies
-
All profits pass through to the owner
-
No double taxation
-
Easy to manage and set up
C-Corp:
-
Ideal for VC-funded startups
-
Company taxed + dividends taxed
-
Ability to issue shares
-
Recommended for Delaware, not Wyoming
