pottery-wheelUnderstanding Corporate Structures
Should I incorporate or form an LLC? That's the question. Both offer similar benefits, but there are also some key differences that you should understand and consider when choosing the right structure for your business.

CorpNet™ can help.

Founded by entrepreneur Nellie Akalp, CorpNet can help you complete the process saving you time and money with service that is fast, reliable, affordable, and 100% guaranteed. Nelli has helped more than 100,000 small business owners and entrepreneurs get their start.

Here's a brief corporation vs. LLC comparison:

They Have Some Things In Common
  • Limited personal liability
    Personal assets—homes, cars, savings and investments—are protected in case the business runs into problems.
  • Ability to raise capital
    The business can borrow money and sell equity to raise capital. That's a good thing.
  • Unlimited duration
    Both structures will last as long as the pyramids at Giza, unless they're dissolved.
And Some Key Differences
  • Tax flexibility and profit distribution
    One advantage of LLCs is that they are not taxed as a separate entity. Business income or losses are reported on the owner's individual tax return. This is similar to an S Corporation, but different from a C Corporation, which is a separate taxable entity.
  • Corporate structure & formalities
    An LLC generally requires fewer corporate formalities than a corporation. LLCs don't have to hold separate meetings for the board of directors or shareholders, or periodic directors meetings with minutes. In other words, it's simplicity without the corporate bureaucracy.
  • State filings
    LLCs do still require state filings, though they're different from those for corporations. Articles of Organization must be filed with the Secretary of State to form an LLC, and the LLC's members must enter into an Operating Agreement that governs how it will be operated.
  • Number of Owners
    Both Corporations and LLCs can have multiple owners, but there are differences in how many. LLCs and C Corporations can have an unlimited number, while S Corporations are limited to 100 Shareholders.

When you're ready to incorporate or form an LLC, CorpNet packages start from just $49 Plus state filing fees. This is substantially lower than what an attorney might charge for the same service. Relative to other online document filing services, CorpNet stands out above the rest.

Prepaid Debit Cards - The Perfect Gift Anytime

This post is about sponsored


($) dailyworth sponsored post

Wracking your brain to come up with a smart gift for someone in your life? Here’s a little secret: You can give something that’s easy for you and them. A prepaid debit card. Load it up with as much you want, and voilà! They can spend it pretty much wherever they want – until it runs out. Even better, it’s more flexible than a gift card and safer than cash. So who’s on your list for a prepaid debit card?


Grandma Start with a skeptic like Grandma. She’ll love the idea of risk-free online shopping with prepaid debit card. It's insured by the FDIC, so even if her card number is lost or stolen, she’s not responsible for any spending other than her own.
niece_75x75 The same goes for your sister the shopper. But there’s an added bonus: A prepaid debit card will help her get her swipe-and-sign impulses under control. Once she’s blown the amount on the card, that’s it. And no interest or finance charges (although some fees do apply).

It makes a great present and it’s super convenient—a prepaid debit card can be used any place that accepts Visa. But unlike a regular debit card, it's not connected to a checking account, so she'll have to budget.

You can even give the Pink debit card to a friend, and a portion of what she spends will go to breast cancer research.

Get a prepaid debit card from ACE Cash Express and discover just how smart and easy gift-giving can be.

Meet Entrepreneur Nellie Akalp

Meet Nellie Akalp. Mother of three. Law school graduate. Passionate entrepreneur. This is not your typical success story.

First, she started a company, MyCorporation.com, sold to Intuit for serious dough (go girl) in 2005, and took time off. Then last year, she got the itch to do it all over again.

True, there were a few things working against her: the tanking economy, plenty of competition in the online incorporations space, and her own three-year sabbatical. So what? There’s nothing quite as satisfying as a good challenge.

Just 7 months ago, CorpNet.com was born. What drove Nellie to take the leap? Vision, determination, and a desire to help women entrepreneurs.

Her new company, CorpNet, offers online incorporation and legal document filing services. Her past companies combined have been responsible for helping more than one hundred thousand Corporations and LLC's get their start. She educates entrepreneurs and helps them get all of their document filings handled, quickly and affordably. Increasingly, those business owners, breadwinners and entrepreneurs are women. What’s more, with layoffs affecting millions of households, new companies owned and run by women are popping up at a breathtaking rate.

Why Incorporate/Form an LLC?

  • Protect your assets
  • Save money on taxes
  • Establish credibility as a business
  • Build business credit
