    What Is a C Corporation Business Structure?

    A C corporation is a business structure where the company and its owners are considered separate legal entities. When a company is a distinct legal entity from its shareholders, it can own property, enter into contracts and be sued in its own name. Additionally, shareholders aren't personally liable for any debts and obligations of the corporation.

    Advantages of a C Corporation

    C corporation structures are ideal for business owners planning to raise significant capital, go public in the future and have strong liability protection. Most C corporation companies include large enterprises, expanding businesses and startups that are planning for an Initial Public Offering (IPO):

    1

    Legal structure

    They are completely independent and offer limited liability for shareholders, protecting their personal assets. 
    2

    Growth potential

    A C corporation doesn't have ownership restrictions — it can have unlimited shareholders, from individuals and corporations to foreign investors. 
    3

    Financial benefits

    C corporations benefit from a flat corporate tax rate and offer fringe benefits that are tax-deductible business expenses.
    4

    Continuity

    With a C corporation structure, the company continues to exist regardless of ownership changes.
    5

    Operational flexibility

    C-corps allow shareholders to buy, sell or transfer stock without disrupting operations.
    6

    Credibility

    C-corps have greater brand value as they are considered to be more established and trustworthy.

    How Do C Corporation Taxes Work?

    C-corps must pay a flat federal tax of 21% for any taxable income after claiming credits and deductions, and there are some instances where they may have to pay both federal and state employment taxes. C corporations use the IRS Form 1120 to report corporate income, gains, losses, deductions and credits. C corporations are also subject to corporate income tax when profits are distributed to shareholders as dividends.
