For Profit Corporations
-
A Corporation generally is a legal entity which exists separately from its
owners. While normally limiting the owners from personal liability, taxes
are levied on the corporation as well as on the shareholders. The sale of
stocks or bonds can generate additional capital and the longevity of the
corporation can continue past the death of the owners. Legal Counsel should
be consulted regarding the variety of options available for formulation.

A Limited Liability Company generally offers liability protection similar
to that of a corporation but is taxed differently. Limited Liability
Companies may be managed by one or more managers or one or more members.
In addition to filing the applicable documents with the Secretary of State,
an operating agreement among the members as to the affairs of the Limited
Liability Company and the conduct of its business is required. Professional
limited liability companies are restricted in California at this time
