LLC vs. Corporation: How Do I Choose?
LLC vs. C Corp: Navigating Business Structures
It is of high importance to consider how you intend to structure your business's ownership and leadership, as well as your fundraising and hiring goals, when deciding between an LLC and a C-Corporation. A core component of the Startco Network is access to law firms, tax attorneys, and CPAs who can support you as you grow your business regardless of the type of entity you launch with Startco.
Choosing a C-Corp when:
C Corporations are ideal for businesses looking to raise capital from angel investors or venture capital firms. The company's ownership is expressed in shares of stock, which can be used to raise capital and grant employee options.
Choosing an LLC when:
LLCs are ideal for e-commerce stores and small online projects. LLCs provide founders with limited liability, a simple structure, and ease of management.
Because LLCs lack shares, you won't be able to issue stock or go public — but because many large corporations are LLCs, you can still accomplish a lot with this structure.
