    Can you expand on 15:00 "scorps have a slighter edge on raising capital than an LLC"? What do you mean by that? Also, I'd like to start an scorp, but I may want to raise VC money someday so should I start as LLC > scorp or ccorp > scorp? Thanks!

    In the $200,000 of S-Corp income with 100,000 being reasonable salary and the other 100,000 being distributions, the savings from the Corp are less than $15,300 because if you had 200,000 of self employment income the social security taxes would max out at $147,000 in 2022. You would still take the Medicare taxes of 2.9% as savings. Great video!

    1. In the state of Colorado you can set up an S-Corp as a legal entity. 2. If the S-Corp is not an entity but just a tax election on a tax form as you just said in the beginning of the video. Then why do you need a board of directors? 3. You need to wear a different shirt. Your white shirt is making you blend in with your background.

    One major advantage of an S corporation is that it provides owners limited liability protection, regardless of its tax status. Limited liability protection means that the owners' personal assets are shielded from the claims of business creditors-whether the claims arise from contracts or litigation.

  • @lHurtYourFeeIings
    @lHurtYourFeeIings2 жыл бұрын

    I wouldn't say those are disadvantages. Those were literally advantages. Sure you have to pay a reasonable salary which is just a % of corp profit, as compared to paying self-employment tax on the whole thing?

  • @SimonSozzi7258
    @SimonSozzi7258 Жыл бұрын

    Of course you could have a C corp and elect not to take distributions and instead collateralize your stake and get loans which are not Taxed.
