The single hardest thing about starting a business is that you have to make extremely impactful decisions too early in the game- with too little information.
These are company-defining decisions in a time where your brain is probably focused on building, bootstrapping, or paying the bills, and not necessarily on paperwork- or a legal structure that might not make any difference.
The problem is, though, the legal structure you choose makes a HUGE difference in how your business might operate, how it might grow, how it might be sold, or even in how liable you or your investors are about the mistakes the company might make.
I searched for a simple, plain English video that let startup founders understand the type of structure they needed- and I couldn’t find any.
You can even find hundreds of contradicting opinions online.
So I gave our own legal team a call, and I spoke to legal firms inside and outside the US to understand how these different legal decisions might affect founders in the short and the long term.
So here’s what we’ll go through in this video:
The basics of legal entities.
Understanding which entity works for which kind of business.
The difference between stock and ownership.
Raising rounds of funding with an LLC vs. a C-Corp.
Taxes on each type of entity.
Common state and international exceptions.
Big disclaimer, this video will not touch on other types of entities because that’s not what the title says.
No really, because these are the two most common types of entities, and we don’t want to overcomplicate it.

I always go with LLCs. It’s mostly because I stay as a self-funded small business. If I find a venture where I need to raise capiral, I may move to a C Corp. Generally I start as an LLC. When I decide I need to bring in VCs, I call up my council and usually they suggest and assist in changing to a C Corp.

That's a good way. Alright, so let's say an LLC registered in Wyoming entitled Xaax LLC has three SaaS products (Saas A, B, and C), and an investor wants to invest in SaaS A, therefore the founder has decided to pull SaaS A out of XaaX LLC and form SaaS A, Inc as a C-corp in Delaware. What is the feasible method?

@@codelucky I am hoping to get an answer for this cause I do have a LLC (also based in Wyoming USA) for my E-Commerce business and i am based in UK. Should I dissolve my LLC and start a C-Corp. (planning on doing it). or should I let my LLC just let it be and I am not doing any business on the said LLC at the moment. Have been busy in other ventures
This is content is so valuable, thank you.
This is so good. Spent a week trying to understand this and you summarize it so well
Thank you for this I’m building out a startup that is on track to redefine the foundational training base of the medical profession globally and videos like this are always insightful

What’s the name of your startup?
It really depends on whether you're trying to do things or get things done
Somehow, you timed this topic perfectly! Thank you! Quality content as always.

This is so useful! I'd love to see your input on other international incorporation hubs (Ireland, Malta, Carmen Islands, etc), and the pros/cons of these other extremely low tax options?
Thank you for making sure that my decision is right thing to do.
T’is must watch. Must know facts for all startup stakeholders
Can we start with an LLC and later upgrade it or changes it?

@@michaels8297 Ah right, right. It's a tax classification for a corporation. Not a business entity itself. Might have been worth mentioning though in terms of startups.
Let's say an LLC registered in Wyoming entitled Xaax LLC has three SaaS products (Saas A, B, and C) and an investor wants to invest in SaaS A, so the founder has decided to pull SaaS A out of XaaX LLC and form SaaS A, Inc as a C-corp in Delaware. What is the feasible method? And how to run multiple products company?
Blue Candy..... also great video
I always go C Corp. If you're always extracting profits rather than reinvesting, you aren't building the business right. If you aren't extracting profits, then C Corp taxation is cheaper than LLC. I also like keeping company income totally separate from the complexities of my own personal finances.
@bjorn6084

can't you also count one of the company expenses as a salary to yourself?
Considering a C Corp can transition to an S Corp with a single filing, allowing it to become a pass through entity - the main point that’s made in this video isn’t exactly accurate.
Hi @slidebean Please could you make a new video explaining preferred state to incorporate a startup Delaware or Wyoming? I'm asking this with respect to Elon's recent experience with Delaware court and whether or not startups should officially move their incorporation to Wyoming instead
