Type of Business Formations in Arizona:

Sole Proprietorship:

This one is simple. Just start doing business in your own name or file for a Trade Name with the Secretary of State. However, you have no protection from liabilities — they all land on you, personally. Additionally, you may see greater tax liabilities. So, let’s look at the other options.

Partnerships:

Two or more people can form a partnership. There are two types of partners: General and Limited. General partners are personally responsible for all liabilities and taxes, and pay taxes on their personal taxes. Limited partners are liable only to the extent of their initial investment in the company.

Limited Liability Company (LLC):

Members of an LLC are only responsible to cover debts and liabilities to the extent of their original investments in the company, hence the ‘Limited’ designation. All profits flow to the individuals and are filed on personal taxes. This is an easy way to form a business, reduce liability, and manage partners (members). Some LLCs can also be designated as other types of corporations for tax purposes.

Corporation:

A corporation is a public entity, with owners having shares of the business. The company is liable for its own debts and taxes, and shareholders file taxes based on the distributions received. That is why C Corporations get what people refer to as ‘double taxation.’ There are cases where filing as a C Corp makes sense, and we’ll help you determine if that’s the case with your business.

Non-Profit:

A non-profit in Arizona is a Corporation. Once we establish the Arizona entity, we’ll file with the IRS to get the non-profit, 501c3 designation.

In Arizona, we file Articles of Incorporation for a Corporation. Once that is filed and accepted, we then file the Federal Tax designation with the IRS: S-Corp, C-Corp or 501c3 (non profit). Don’t worry. We handle all of that for you.

For an LLC, we’ll file the Articles of Organization with the state.
