在某个时候，您可以决定合并您的公司。像许多业务中的许多事情一样，公司具有其优势和缺点。继续阅读以了解合并业务的利弊，以确定它是否适合您的公司。

综合概述

Before you dive into the pros and cons of incorporation, you have to know what incorporation is. Incorporation is the formation of a公司或C Corp.小型企业可能以独资经营或合伙企业的身份开始，并以后合并。

将公司与其他公司区分开的主要因素业务结构类型is the fact that a corporation is a separate legal entity from its owners.

To incorporate your business, you must follow state laws. Each state sets its own laws and hascorporate tax rates您需要熟悉自己。

Incorporation pros and cons

在决定合并业务之前，请权衡您的利弊。查看以下合并的优势和缺点，以做出明智的决定。

合并的优势

看看纳入小型企业的一些专家。

Limited liability

纳入您的业务的一种特权是有限的责任。一些业务结构，例如独资经营，必须承担公司的所有责任。当您合并时，所有者或股东对企业的行为和债务不承担个人责任。对公司的任何索赔都不是所有者的责任，从而阻止所有者的个人理财受到影响。它可以保护所有者免受诉讼，债务和财务损失之类的事情。

In short, limited liability helps shield the corporation’s owners from any personal liability.

继续

Another pro of incorporation is continuance. Unlike other structures, a corporation has an unlimited lifespan. It continues to live on even if the shareholders leave the business or pass away. And, it still exists even if the ownership of the business changes. This makes it more likely that a corporation will thrive for many years, even if things change within the corporation.

灵活收入

合并您的业务使您在分配收入时可以更加灵活。合并业务时，您可以确定如何以及何时获得收入。

Rather than taking a salary from the corporation when the business receives income right away, you can take income at a later time. You can also receive income in the form of dividends, which can help lower your tax bill.

融合的缺点

Find out what kinds of disadvantages come with incorporating your business.

Expensive

合并业务的一个缺点是随之而来的费用。由于公司比其他结构更为复杂，因此与其他业务结构相比，它们的设置往往更昂贵。

要组建公司，您必须支付费用。建立公司后，这些费用不会消失。公司的费用正在进行中，对于小型企业来说可能是昂贵的。以下是您想建立一家公司的费用的概述：

• Setup costs
• 法律费用
• 会计费用
• State fees (e.g., filing with the state)

Many states impose ongoing fees on corporations. Check with your state to find out information about fees they charge corporations. And, ask yourself the question,Will I be able to afford the ongoing fees associated with incorporating my business？

双重税收

合并业务的另一个缺点是double taxation. Double taxation is when you have to pay income taxes twice on the same income. For a corporation, this means you’re taxed on both the personal and business levels.

公司对年收入缴税。当公司向股东支付股息时，股息也具有税收负债。收到任何股息的股东必须对他们纳税。

其他类型的结构，例如有限责任公司或S军团，可以避免通过税收征税进行双重征税。通过税收是在税收通过企业并向所有者或个人转移的时候。

如果您想完全避免双重税收，则可能需要建立S公司或不纳入您的业务。

Additional paperwork

由于所涉及的所有文书工作，合并您的业务可能是一个耗时的过程。要维护公司，您必须保留您的详细记录articles of incorporationandbylaws，包括有关会议的信息以及董事，成员，官员和股东的登记册。

In addition to tracking meetings and other activities, keep organized records of transactions. You need up-to-date records of financial transactions so the corporation can file income tax returns.

每个州也都有有关合并企业的记录保存要求的指南。遵守您所在州的法规，以保持国家和法律的良好信誉。
