What are the advantages of forming a Vermont Corporation?

There are many advantages of forming a Vermont corporation. To begin with, there is the protection of the "corporate veil" that provides limited liability to the owners (shareholders). 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 Vermont corporation form purchasing stock. Since the Vermont corporation is an independent legal entity, the Vermont 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.

When you form a Vermont corporation, the owners (shareholders) are not personally liable for the debts and obligations of the Vermont corporation. Ownership in a Vermont corporation is more easily transferable than other business entities.

To obtain or to form a Vermont S corporation, you must file for subchapter S status with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Forming a Vermont S corporation simply means the corporation is taxed like a partnership or LLC with a pass through tax structure. Make sure to check with your accountant or the IRS for limitations or read about Vermont C corporations below. By obtaining S corporation status in Vermont, it eliminates double taxation and the corporation generally does not file a tax return. On their tax return, the Vermont S corporation's shareholders include their share of the Vermont Corporation's separately stated items of income, deduction, loss, and credit, and their share of non-separately stated income or loss.

What are the advantages of a C Corporation in Vermont?

Generally most people form Vermont C corporations that plan on publicly trading the corporation's stock. Since Vermont S corporations cannot have more than 75 shareholders, choosing to maintain a Vermont C corporation allows for 76 shareholders or more. A Vermont C corporation can have multiple classes of stock such as preferred and common shares. A Vermont 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 Vermont S corporations desirable. However, a Vermont 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.
