“We’re in a very highly regulated industry, and we could not operate without CT’s business license services. It really takes the pressure off us. Whenever we expand into a new area, CT tells us the types of licenses and permits we need – city, state, and local.”
“We use CT’s Business License Compliance Package and related services to help us investigate the registrations and licenses necessary to enter new states… I strongly recommend CT as a professional, cooperative and reliable corporate compliance partner.”
“CT makes sure I’m always abreast of upcoming deadlines and new rules and regulations. I love how much they proactively communicate with me. And when I need them, they’re unfailingly ready to help.”
An LLC has more flexibility and fewer ownership restrictions than either C and S corporations. That said, if you’re planning on distributing stock, an S corporation might be a better option. Also, corporations are exposed to franchise taxes in many states (including California) where LLCs are exempt.
Unlike corporations, LLCs do not face strict ongoing meeting and documentation requirements. It’s why many LLC owners create an operating agreement that allows them to sidestep many corporate formalities, including annual shareholder and director meetings.
From start-up to success, every company has a lifecycle. At each step, you need to master compliance requirements in order to grow. And that’s where CT Corporation comes in. Wherever you are in your business lifecycle—starting, running, or growing—CT helps you maintain good standing..
LLCs are easy to form, simple to maintain, and can scale as your business grows. They combine the flexibility of a partnership with the liability protection enjoyed by corporations. And incorporating as an LLC allows you to avoid double taxation by establishing pass-through income.
