FAQ
Overall, a corporation has more structure and requires you to follow more formalities than with an LLC. See our article on how to form a California Corporation. A California LLC is formed by filing articles of organization with the state of California.
There's also the fact that if you don't list the number of directors in your Articles of Incorporation, you're legally required to list that information in your bylaws (see California Corp Code § 212). The bottom line: corporate bylaws are not legally required, but they're pretty much essential for your corporation.
Because of the one-class-of-stock restriction, an S corporation cannot allocate losses or income to specific shareholders. Allocation of income and loss is governed by stock ownership, unlike partnerships or LLCs taxed as partnerships where the allocation can be set in the partnership agreement or operating agreement.
Adding an officer to your corporation is an internal process. The board of directors appoint the officers of the corporation and should do so on an annual basis. This can be done through a meeting or, if approved unanimously by the board of directors, through a unanimous written consent.
The Articles of Incorporation form must include: (1) the corporation's name, (2) the corporation's purpose, (3) the number of shares that the corporation is able to issue, (4) the corporation's street address and mailing address, and (5) the name and address of the corporation's registered agent for service of process.
