Solopreneurs have 3 choices when it comes to filing their business
- LLC - The Limited Liability Company (LLC) provides liability protections and has pass-through taxation as if you are a sole proprietor.
- S-Corp - The S-Corp also provides liability protection and has pass-through taxation, but you can become an employee of your business. This option will require regular payroll and payroll taxes.
- C-Corp - A C-Corp provides liability protection and is its own entity. The difference is that the corporation has its own tax bracket and its own tax return. It’s as if the company were its own person.
Why register your business as an LLC, S-Corp, or C-Corp?
There are 2 main reasons to register your business as an LLC or S-Corp. The first is liability protection. It is important to separate your personal assets from your business and that is exactly what an LLC, an S-Corp, and a C-Corp do. The more successful you are the more important this separation becomes.
Save on taxes

Highly profitable solopreneurs are highly taxed and the proper business structure can help you take advantage of tax strategies that could save you money. Listen in to hear examples of how you can structure your business in a way that provides you with the most tax savings.
