Day 3: LLC vs C-Corp – Which is Right for You?
Many Indian founders get confused: Should I form an LLC or a C-Corp in the U.S.? Here’s the difference 👇 ✨ LLC (Limited Liability Company) - Flexible structure → good for freelancers, agencies, eCommerce, SaaS. - Pass-through taxation → profits are taxed only once (at the owner’s level). - Easy to manage → less paperwork, fewer compliance rules. - Best for solo founders & small teams. ✨ C-Corp (Corporation) - Preferred by investors → VCs and Angel Investors usually demand a C-Corp. - Double taxation → company pays tax on profits + shareholders pay tax on dividends. - More rules, more filings, but better for large teams. - Best for startups planning to raise millions in funding. 💡 Simple rule: If you’re bootstrapping, go LLC. If you’re chasing investors, go C-Corp. Question for the community:👉 If you launch a U.S. business tomorrow, would you go lean with an LLC or aim big with a C-Corp?
