Corporations: Incorporating In Delaware
June 22nd, 2008The most difficult question business owners incorporating in Delaware face is what entity to choose. Many of these questions are resolved when the owners meet with attorneys or registered agents. These agents have recently started a new trend by recommending limited liability companies to all incorporating businesses.
What if I Have Questions About Incorporating in Delaware?
All prospective business owners are curious about the structure, advantages, limitations and management of each type of entity. The structure of limited liability companies is similar to that of other corporations. All businesses incorporating in Delaware are owned by the stockholders or members of the company.
All businesses have a reason for incorporating in Delaware. There is no corporate or personal income tax on any of the profits in the state. Limited liability companies and S corporations have an additional tax advantage as a result of the pass-through taxation. Unlike C corporations, these two entities are not subject to double taxation.
In addition, limited liability companies have a very flexible organizational structure. They have the right to establish any kind of structure that the members choose. As a result, they can alter the way profits are distributed and the way voting interests are given.
