What is a C Corporation?

A C Corporation is a legal business entity recognized by the U.S. government, separate from its owners. It allows the business to own assets, enter contracts, sue or be sued independently of the shareholders, providing strong legal protection.

Key Features of a C Corporation:

• Separate Legal Entity: Protects owners’ personal assets from business liabilities.

• Limited Liability: Shareholders’ personal assets are generally not at risk.

• Shareholders & Stock: Unlimited number of shareholders; can issue multiple classes of stock.

• Perpetual Existence: Continues regardless of changes in ownership or management.

• Taxation: Subject to corporate tax on profits; shareholders pay tax on dividends.

C Corporations are ideal for businesses planning to raise venture capital, issue stock options, or eventually go public.
