LLC vs Corporation: Stop Overthinking It.
For 90% of Washington small business owners, the LLC wins.
A corporation makes sense if you’re raising venture capital, planning an IPO, or need multiple stock classes. If you’re a freelancer, consultant, service provider, retailer, real estate investor, or creator — an LLC in Washington is almost certainly the better choice. Three reasons: Pass-through taxation (no corporate-level tax, no double taxation). Flexible management (no mandatory board meetings or shareholder resolutions). Identical liability protection. Simpler, cheaper to maintain, more tax-efficient for most Washington businesses. Corp Nation’s Starter Package is $149 — filing preparation, registered agent for a year, operating agreement. Up and running in days. Stop researching. Start building.
