Corporation
This type business is owned by stockholders or shareholders who share in the profits and losses of the business. A Corporation is viewed as having the same rights as a person, except for voting. It can buy, sell, own, and enter into contracts. It can sue people and other corporations, and it can also be sued. The owners of a corporation have limited liability to creditors or others looking to take assets. Their liability only includes the resources of the corporation, unless they made a personal guarantee. Also, corporations continue to exist beyond the lives of the owners. This is possible because ownership can be transferred through a sale or gift of shares.
There are also two sub-categories of corporations, these categories relate to how the corporation is to be taxed:
The first category is a C-Corporation. This is an organization of a corporation where the corporation is taxed as a separate entity. Profits and losses are reported through the corporation. However, there is a chance of double taxation when dividends are distributed. In this case the assets are taxed at the corporate level and then again on the individual return of the person(s) who received the dividends.
The second category is an S-Corporation. This method of organizing a corporation creates a “flow through” form of taxation. This means that there is no income tax paid on the corporate level. All of the profits and losses are reported on the personal tax returns of the owner.
This package includes:
Articles of Incorporation: This document serves to define the purpose of your business, as well as the rights and liabilities of the shareholders and directors. This document is required to be legally recognized by the State of Arizona as a Corporation.
Filing Documents: We will file your Articles of Incorporation with the Arizona Corporation Commission.
