S Corporations offer a unique blend of benefits, combining the liability protection of a corporation with the tax advantages of a pass-through entity. For many small to medium-sized businesses, this structure can provide significant advantages in terms of tax savings, asset protection, and business credibility.
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.
Do I need a Business License? The City of San Antonio does not have a general business license. The type of license or permit needed is based on the product or service you plan to provide.
