Entity Formation FAQs

There are many differences between an LLC and a corporation, both large and small. One of the more substantial differences between each entity lies in its ownership structure. LLCs are owned by one or more individuals, while shareholders own a corporation.

1-800Accountant does not charge anything for using our LLC formation service, but your state does charge a tax-deductible fee. The fee will vary per state. Our fees are for added-value business services at different price points, depending on your chosen package.

We typically recommend forming as an LLC due to its numerous advantages to small business entrepreneurs. Once you’ve formed an LLC, you have 75 days to consider the option of selecting a different business structure for your new company, such as an S corporation.
