When a business incorporates they do so to help their business. Incorporating a business can help from a tax standpoint and an expense standpoint. A company that incorporates can use anything that is purchased for the business as an expense against any income. These expenses reduce the income a company has to pay. An incorporated company can also expense the salary that is paid to the owner along with any income taxes paid on the employee’s behalf.
Incorporating allows a business owner to protect their personal assets in case the company goes under. The corporation will be responsible for any losses or lawsuits and those suing normally won’t be able to go after the owner of the company. Incorporation gives the business an advantage over non incorporated business because now the incorporated business seems larger. A company that has inc. or co. behind their name seems to get more respect from others. Incorporating allows the business owner to possibly apply for higher loans and lines of credit then if they weren’t incorporated. A company that is incorporated can possibly expand faster then a company that isn’t incorporated. A corporation may also receive better rates on important things such as health and dental insurance. They will possibly also receive discounts on office supplies and other things the company may need. Someone who seeks out these things on their own may encounter rejection or higher prices. A corporation is assumed to have more buying power then other companies.
