Disadvantages of an LLC or a Corporation in New York

An LLC or a corporation faces following disadvantages: -

Formation expenses: the state imposes some taxes such as annual report and franchise tax. The fees for LLC formation depends on the size of the organization. Small business may have lesser fees but LLC formation for sole proprietorship and general partnership is more costly. This is because both of them are not required to file formation documents. However, some states also require LLC owners to publish notice in local newspapers about the formation of the LLC which becomes costly.

Transferable ownership: the shares of a corporation can be sold to increase ownership but it is not possible with an LLC. In an LLC, the ownership can be diluted only with the unanimous approval of all the members.

Limited life: unlike corporations, the LLC companies to an end when a member dies.

Pass-through taxes: the LLC incurs tax known as the pas through tax. Irrespective of the shareholder receiving the dividend, the profits and losses will be reported in their individual returns. This might not be appreciated by the shareholders.

Raising money: the lack of strict corporate structure and pass-through taxes will make the investors feel hesitant about investing into an LLC.

Less structure: the lack of structure and strict requirements could lead to problems and requires additional costs such as attorney fees.

Paperwork: the corporations monitored by the federal and the state and also some local agencies may attract more paperwork to comply with the rules and regulations.

Double taxation: the LLC has higher overall taxes. The income may be taxed twice as the dividends paid to shareholders are not deductible and they form a part of business income. Hence this income is taxed twice.

Expensive: the corporations are expensive and time-consuming. These ventures take a lot of time to start and operate. The operating and tax costs are additionally incurred.

Allocation of income and loss: there is very less flexibility in allocation of income and loss as the one-class-of-stock restriction. It cannot easily allocate losses or income to any specific shareholder. The allocation of income and loss is to be done by means of stock ownership, while that of an LLC is done on the basis of operating agreement.

Tax qualification obligations: a minor mistake related to various elections, filing requirement, notifications, stock ownership, or consent can also result in the termination of the corporation status. This is however rare this is still an issue.
