Should I form an LLC or corporation in Ohio?
For most small businesses: LLC. Simpler management, pass-through taxation, strong liability protection, lower cost. Corporations make sense for businesses seeking venture capital or planning to go public.
Can a Ohio LLC be taxed like an S-Corp?
Yes. Filing Form 2553 with the IRS lets an LLC elect S-Corp tax treatment while remaining an LLC legally — getting the best of both structures.
What are the main differences between a Ohio LLC and corporation?
LLCs have flexible management, pass-through taxation by default, and simpler compliance. Corporations have rigid structure but offer better options for equity investment and employee stock plans.
