Benefits and Advantages of a Corporation or an LLC in Oregon

The LLC (limited liability company) and the corporation are the two possible structures that evolve when a sole proprietorship gains a legal entity of its own, separate from its founders.

Having a corporation or an LLC in Oregon is very beneficial as the laws of the state are very conducive to the growth of both kinds of business formations. Along with increased flexibility the incorporation acts as a shield from personal liability and allows for an increased credibility with customers. The Oregon economy is a growing one and has been ranked first in productive growth by the US Chamber of Commerce.

Incorporation in Oregon allows you to protect your personal assets, get tax advantages and grow your business. By choosing between an LLC and a corporation you have the freedom to decide on a tax structure that works best for you. The choice of the business incorporation acts as a very strong base for the company's ongoing success and growth. The flexibility awarded by this move allows the members to tailor their income stream and risks of loss. This facilitates everything from complex, high dollar- volume transactions to succession planning in family businesses.

Oregon company formation laws are very simplified and makes the company registration process very simple. The benefits of forming the corporations and the LLCs coupled with the easy procedures sees a number of companies every year registering for an LLC or corporation identity. In Oregon it is possible for the corporation to raise additional funds through the sale of stock or it can deduct the cost of benefits it provides to officers and employees. In corporations, the shareholders have a limited liability for the corporation's debts or judgments against the corporations.

Disadvantages of a Corporation or an LLC in Oregon

To do business in Oregon, all limited liability company (LLC) organized outside of the state must register with the Oregon Secretary of State. Foreign LLCs must appoint a registered expert for service of process. The expert may be an Oregon resident, or a business entity authorized to do business in Oregon. Let us have a brief look about the disadvantages of LLC and corporation.

Disadvantages of an LLC: -

• Unlike corporations which can live forever, LLC is dissolved on the death of any member or his/her bankruptcy
• An LLC is treated as a partnership and cannot take advantage of incentive stock options, or engage itself in tax free reorganizations
• On converting an existing business to LLC tax is imposed on the appreciated asset
• Business owners with plans to take their company public, or issuing employee shares in the future, may be best served by choosing a corporate business structure
• Running a sole-proprietorship or partnership will have less paperwork and complexity
• A LLC may federally be classified as a sole-proprietorship, partnership, or corporation for tax purposes. It is at their discretion to select the classification or a default may apply
• LLC often lacks uniformity in company statutes

Disadvantages of a corporation: -

• A lot of time and money is invested in the process of incorporating a corporation
• Corporations are monitored by federal, state and some local agencies, and as a result may have more paperwork to comply with regulations
• Dividend paid to shareholders are not deductible form business income, thus this income can be taxed twice
• Incorporation may result in higher taxes for the corporation
• There often arise conflicts or disagreements among the stockholders which may immobilize decision making
• At times minority stockholders are prevented from being able to recover the value of their investment in the corporation due to the restrictions on the sale of stock and/or buy-back agreements included in the bylaws
• Stock ownership may be divided among many persons by the process of gifting and inheritance. Such stockholders may not be active in the business and can be a hurdle for the active participants in the business who support the needs and decision that are favorable for the corporation
• If appreciated assets are owned by the corporation and the corporation is dissolved then the significant income tax on the appreciation amount will be created

Both LLC and corporations have their own set of disadvantages. In many cases there can be some savings in employment tax, but they may be outweighed by the loss of flexibility that an LLC has.
