How to form an S-corporation for Wholesale

Introduction

If you’re starting a wholesale business, you need to know that there’s more to it than simply being a seller. You have to follow the rules of your state, and that means incorporating as an S-corporation (or any other type of corporation). Here’s what we mean:

Getting into an S-corporation will help you establish a wholesale business

Forming an S-corporation is one of the fastest and most effective ways to establish a wholesale business in your state. An S-corporation:

• Is recognized as a separate legal entity, with its own tax ID number, similar to a C-corporation or limited liability company (LLC).
• Offers personal liability protection from potential lawsuits filed against the company. This protects you from financial risk when you have few assets outside of your business.
• Allows multiple owners who can be shareholders in the corporation, but only one shareholder—you—must file taxes on behalf of the corporation. Other shareholders have no personal liability for debts of the corporation and do not have any control over operations; however, they may receive dividends that are taxed at their individual rates rather than at corporate rates if your state allows this.

You must choose a business name and a registered agent

Your business name must be easy to spell and pronounce so that customers can find you easily when they search the internet. For example, if your business is called “Carpenter’s Corner,” but people often misspell it as “Carpenters Corner” or even “Carpenters Corner,” then those people will never find your website!

Similarly, it is important that the name of your company not be too similar to any other businesses in the area where it operates. You don’t want another company coming along with a similar sounding name, confusing customers into thinking it’s yours! Remember: try not being too creative with your business names – keep them simple!

Do not use personal information such as first names for domain names (for example: www.joeandhannahswholesaleoutlet). It may seem like a good idea at first glance since both parties are familiar with each other but this type of structure could lead down path where there could be conflict down line because of privacy concerns (e..g divorce), which could cause problems later on down road if someone wants access/control over platform data etc..

You must incorporate your company in the state where it will operate

States have different requirements and fees for incorporation, so you should check with the secretary of state’s office in the state where you plan to do business to find out what they are. The states will also tell you how long it takes them to process forms and issue certificates of incorporation once they’ve received all necessary information from you.

Embrace the paperwork, because it is how to make your wholesale business legal

All of the paperwork is in place, and you’ve got your new S-corporation up and running. Now what?

In order to make sure that your business stays legal, it’s important to keep up with the paperwork required by an S-corporation. This includes keeping track of all financial information related to the company—and that means keeping good records of all purchases (including receipts), expenses (including receipts), sales (including invoices), payroll tax deposits, etc.

It’s also important for you as an owner/manager to know how much money is being made by the corporation each year. If there’s any doubt about what’s happening with finances inside an S-corporation or if you think something could be off, consult with a CPA or lawyer who specializes in this area so they can help you understand exactly what needs to be done from now on so nothing happens illegally later on down the road.
