Within this week’s discussion, we were asked if we owned a company what type of company would we like to own. Personally, I would want to own a corporation, I own several and I choose to own a corporation for several reasons. One of the first reasons is because the shareholders are not responsible for corporate debt. Also, if the corporation runs out of funds, it’s owners typically are not liable. Corporations also have other advantages like offering self-employment tax saving which can save the shareholders thousands of dollars. Corporations also have the benefit of continuous life in which if a shareholder dies the corporation would be able to continue.
