Corporations (C Corporation) are probably the form of business entity which comes most readily to mind for most people. They are formed by filing articles of incorporation with the appropriate state officials. The equity owners of a corporation are called shareholders who, in their capacity as shareholders, have only very basic voting rights. They elect the managers of the corporation (called directors), are entitled to vote on most decisions that would require an amendment to the articles of incorporation, and must approve certain fundamental transactions involving a change in structure of the corporation.

S Corporations are an otherwise ordinary corporation which is eligible for and has elected to be taxed under subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. It is formed by filing articles of incorporation with the appropriate state officials. The benefit of electing subchapter S status is that there is no entity level tax. Items of income and loss flow through to the shareholders and are taxed only at the shareholder level. A disadvantage of subchapter S status is less flexibility than C corporations.

A general partnership is an association of two or more people who agree to carry on a business as co-owners for a profit. The general partnership is a very flexible form of enterprise. State partnership statutes provide default rules pertaining to management rights and the calculation of each partner’s share of profits and losses. However, the partners in a partnership agreement are generally free to change these default provisions by agreement.

Limited Liability Partnerships (LLP) are a general partnership where all partners have limited liability as to other partner’s debts and liabilities due to misconduct. Except for a very few special provisions, it is subject to the same rules as a general partnership. There are four primary differences between LLPs and general partnerships: (1) they are formed in different ways; (2) they may have different requirements concerning insurance or financial responsibility; (3) specific steps may need to be taken in order to maintain LLP status; and (4) the liability of general partners is significantly different.
