LLC vs S-Corp & Entity Choice
“I run a marketing agency and want to bring on venture investors, is a C-Corp better than an S-Corp for long-term tax purposes?”
For a marketing agency that may bring on venture investors, the entity choice often turns on how outside ownership, future fundraising, and long-term exit plans fit with tax treatment. A C-Corp is commonly associated with more flexible investor structures, while an S-Corp can be more limited in who can own shares and how ownership is arranged. The tax picture also depends on whether profits are being reinvested, how founder compensation is handled, and whether the business expects to retain earnings or distribute them over time. A focused session can map this against your actual situation in plain English.

“I formed a single-member LLC but forgot to get an EIN, can I just use my Social Security number on my Schedule C without issues?”
“I am transitioning my W-2 income into a consulting business, does electing S-Corp status actually lower my self-employment tax?”
“My solo business is making about the same as my old salary, should I switch from a sole proprietorship to an S-Corp?”
“I have a profitable side hustle on top of my day job, is it worth the administrative cost to form an LLC just for that income?”
