An S corporation is a company that has been formed under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. The primary benefit of an S-corporation is that it shields profits from taxation at the corporate level, which means your business will pay income tax only on its net taxable income. In addition, there are certain tax benefits available to owners of an S-Corp. But before you can have any of these benefits, you must form your corporation correctly. Here’s how:
This will help people find your business online. Be sure that your chosen name is not already being used by another company—you can check this with your state’s secretary of state office. Also be aware that there are some words and phrases that cannot be used as part of a company’s name.
Also, make sure your company name does not have any offensive or confusing connotations so that it won’t raise any red flags when someone sees it or hears about it from a friend or acquaintance who has heard about the business from someone else who knows someone else who works there.
The agent serves as the company’s point of contact with the state and can accept legal notices on behalf of your business. Your registered agent is a person or business entity that is authorized by the Secretary of State to act on behalf of your corporation in matters involving official documents, such as annual reports or amendments to articles of incorporation, or lawsuits filed against you.
The number of directors that you can have varies by state, but it is typically between one and three. Directors are in charge of managing your LLC’s operations on a day-to-day basis. They can be owners, employees or even independent contractors.
It’s important that all eligible voters be able to vote for directors. Generally speaking, this means that each member must receive an equal vote count unless some kind of tiebreaker rule is set up in advance.
Corporate officers are those individuals responsible for carrying out the day-to-day business of your organization. These individuals hold different titles depending on your state or country’s laws, but they typically include a president and treasurer (or secretary). You can choose any person who meets these requirements:
Once you have your EIN, you’ll need to use it when opening a business bank account and when filing taxes with the IRS.

Complete all required information on this page, including your SSN or Taxpayer ID number, name as registered with social security administration (if different than SSN), other names used by you or your business (including any doing business as), city where located, state where located if not same as ZIP code, mailing address if different from physical location address provided above and country of incorporation if applicable. Click Continue once all required fields are filled out completely without errors.
When you’ve chosen a bank and opened your account, it’s time to make some deposits. You’ll need to deposit enough money in your new account so that you can cover all of the expenses associated with starting your business and still have enough left over for you to live on while things are getting off the ground.
The good news is that, unlike many other businesses, you can get by without any insurance coverage at all. However, if you want to protect your business from lawsuits and other legal claims (which is a good idea), then it’s important that you have adequate business insurance coverage.
In general terms, an S-corporation has the same types of insurance needs as any other company. For example:
If you have a sports or recreation business, S-corporation status can be an excellent way to go. It gives you flexibility and control over your finances, as well as potential tax benefits. This is especially true if your business does not offer products or services that are covered by state sales tax.
