Is the Corporate Form Right for You?
Corporations are the most popular business entity in Florida. All sorts of businesses are organized as corporations, and they prefer this form for a variety of reasons:
- Limited liability. The shareholders who own the corporation are protected with limited liability. This means that someone suing the corporation cannot reach through and get at the personal assets of the owner, which is what often happens to partners in a general partnership or the owner of a sole proprietorship. Limited liability makes corporations an effective asset protection tool.
- Ability to raise equity. Some people with sole proprietorships switch to the corporate form when they want to raise equity to help the business grow. A corporation can sell shares.
- Non-profit status. You can form a nonprofit corporation in Florida, which is excellent news.
- Flexibility with taxes. You might choose to create an S corporation, which is a pass through corporation, meaning the corporation itself is not taxed. Instead, income is taxed once it passes to the shareholders. This is a popular form for many smaller businesses in Jacksonville.
