The right choice depends on how you plan to handle profits losses and ownership. A C corporation pays corporate taxes and offers flexibility for reinvestment and growth. An S corporation allows income to pass through to shareholders avoiding double taxation but has eligibility rules and restrictions.
The tax treatment of C versus S structures affects how profits are taxed at the corporate level and at the shareholder level. C corporations face corporate tax payments while S corporations pass income to shareholders for personal tax rates. S corporations can reduce some self employment tax for active owners but have limitations on who can be a shareholder.
In a C corporation share transfers are generally straightforward enabling capital raising. S corporations have restrictions on the number and type of shareholders and transfers can affect eligibility for pass through taxation.
