What Should I Know About Creating My Corporation?
What is a Corporation?
​
A corporation is a legal entity that is separate and distinct from its owners. Corporations enjoy most of the rights and responsibilities that individuals possess, such as the ability to enter into contracts, loan and borrow money, sue and be sued, hire employees, own assets, and pay taxes.
Key Features of a Corporation
1. Personal Liability Protection:
- Owners (called Shareholders) are typically not personally liable for the debts and liabilities of the business. This means that personal assets such as cars and homes are generally protected if the business incurs debt or is sued.
2. Legal Personality:
- A corporation is a separate legal entity from its shareholders, meaning it has its own legal rights and obligations. It can own property, incur liabilities, and be involved in legal proceedings
3. Perpetual Existence:
- Corporations continue to exist regardless of changes in ownership or the death of shareholders. This perpetual existence is one of the defining characteristics of a corporation.
4. Fewer Compliance Requirements:
- Quarterly Shareholder and Director Meetings.
5. Management Structure:
- Corporations have a structured management system with a board of directors elected by shareholders. The board of directors oversees the major policies and decisions, while day-to-day operations are typically managed by officers appointed by the board.
6. Capital and Ownership:
- Corporations can raise capital by issuing shares of stock. Shareholders own the corporation through their stock holdings and can transfer their shares without affecting the corporation's operations.
​
Advantages of a Corporations
- Personal Asset Protection: Shareholders are protected from personal liability for business decisions or actions.
- Ability to Raise Capital: Corporations can raise capital more easily through the sale of stock.
- Perpetual Existence: Corporations continue to exist even if ownership or management changes.
- Transferability of Ownership: Shares of stock can be bought and sold without affecting the corporation's operations.
​
An LLC is a versatile and popular business structure that offers many benefits, including limited liability protection, ability to raise capital, perpetual existence and ease of transferability of ownership.
Differences Between DBA (Fictitious Name), LLC, and Corporation
Choosing the right structure depends on your business needs, liability concerns, tax implications, and administrative preferences. Consider consulting with our Law Firm to determine the best fit for your specific situation.

3. Purpose:
- DBAs are typically used by sole proprietors or existing companies wanting to operate multiple businesses under different names without creating new legal entities.
4. Registration:
- Registration requirements vary by state but generally involve filing with a local or state government office and paying a fee.
5. Advantages:
- Simple and inexpensive to set up.
