Questions
Business formation: common questions
LLC or S corporation?
They are different things. An LLC is an entity; an S corporation is a tax election an LLC or a corporation can make. Which combination fits depends on your income, your payroll, and your state, so we walk through it with your numbers before anything is filed.
Which state should I form in?
Usually the state you actually operate in. Forming elsewhere generally means registering as a foreign entity where you operate anyway, so you end up paying twice.
