Company Registration in the USA

Things you should know

The USA is considered to be a world-class economy and first business hub. The US economy is nearly 20 trillion dollars which is nearly 14 times the size of the Indian economy. Hence, setting up a company in the USA gives global class benefit. Further being a developed nation, rules and regulations for Company Registration in USA are much regularized, and corporate tax rates are much lower.

There are two types of companies that Indians may register in the USA. One is C- Corporation and the other is LLC.

1. C-Corporation (C-Corp): A C-Corporation (C-Corp) is a legal business entity in the United States that is separate from its owners (shareholders). It is the most common type of corporation, particularly for businesses seeking growth, investment, and limited liability protection. A C-Corp is recognized as an independent taxpayer, meaning it is subject to corporate income tax on its profits. Additionally, if profits are distributed as dividends to shareholders, they are taxed again at the individual level, leading to what is known as double taxation.

2. Limited Liability Company: A Limited Liability Company (LLC) is a flexible business structure in the United States that combines the benefits of a corporation and a partnership. It provides limited liability protection, meaning the owners (called members) are not personally responsible for the company’s debts and liabilities. At the same time, an LLC offers pass-through taxation, where business profits are reported on the owners’ personal tax returns, avoiding corporate-level taxation.
