The shareholders are not personally liable for debts and obligations of the corporation. They can personally lose only to the extent of their investments in the New Hampshire corporation form purchasing stock. Since the New Hampshire corporation is an independent legal entity, the New Hampshire corporation has continuous existence. It does not cease to exist simply because one of the shareholders dies or retires. In addition, corporations are the most well known and widely recognized type of business entity. Corporations often have an easier time setting up insurance, retirement funds, profit-sharing, pension, and stock option plans than other business entities.

What are the advantages of a C Corporation in New Hampshire?

Generally most people form New Hampshire C corporations that plan on publicly trading the corporation's stock. Since New Hampshire S corporations cannot have more than 75 shareholders, choosing to maintain a New Hampshire C corporation allows for 76 shareholders or more. A New Hampshire C corporation can have multiple classes of stock such as preferred and common shares. A New Hampshire C corporation will be double taxed since both the corporate entity and the individual owners have to file tax returns. For this reason alone, many will find New Hampshire S corporations desirable. However, a New Hampshire S corporation can only be owned by individuals that are U.S. citizens or registered aliens, issue only one type of stock, and are limited to no more than 75 shareholders.
