Which business structure fits you?
Your business structure can affect how much tax you pay. Enter a few basic numbers and see which structure — LLC, S-Corp, or C-Corp — may work best for you.
Educational comparison only, not legal or tax advice. The right structure depends on your full financial picture — this is exactly where a real conversation with us helps.
Side-by-side comparison
LLC (or Sole Proprietor)
Simplest to set up and run. Profits pass through to your personal return; owners typically pay self-employment tax on all business profit.
S-Corp Election
You pay yourself a reasonable salary (subject to payroll tax) and can take remaining profit as a distribution, which isn't subject to self-employment tax. Usually most valuable once profit is meaningfully above living-wage salary levels.
C-Corp
Taxed separately from its owners, at a flat corporate rate. Most relevant if you plan to raise outside investment, reinvest profits in the business, or offer stock options.
