Setting Up A California Corporation - San Luis Obispo Legal Document Preparation
Setting up a California Corporation is an important step for any business in California. While it takes a business entity and transforms it into a California corporation with all the legal rights and responsibilities of it, it is fairly simple to do. Depending on the type of business and the formation of it, California has different types of corporations available. Common corporate entities in California we can help establish are as follows:
Corporation: While people commonly refer to these as “C” and “S” corporations, in California it is simply a “California Corporation”. The “C” or “S” designation is related to federal taxes and after a California Corporation has been established, a tax professional can further file with the IRS for a specific tax filing status.
Non-Profit: Another popular type of corporation in California. These are often charities, ministries or other corporations who have the purpose of benefiting others without solely working to drive revenue. Depending on the proposed cash flow of the non-profit, additional filings with the State Franchise Tax Board may be required after formation.
Limited Liability Company (LLC): Similar to a corporation, an LLC can be established and gain State recognition. Main differences here are related to how income is taxed.
Other Corporation Types: California has some other corporation types for those in need of a particular framework for there business. These include “General Partnerships”, “Limited Partnership”, “Limited Liability Partnership” and “Sole Proprietorship”.
