Incorporation can be a game-changer. It offers tax advantages, liability protection, and credibility—but only if you do it right. The problem? Many business owners don’t realize the long-term consequences of their choice until it’s too late.

At Demian & Associates, CPAs, we help business owners make the right decisions from the start. We don’t just guide you through incorporation—we develop a strategy that saves you money, protects your assets, and keeps you compliant. Let’s break it all down.

Choosing the Right Business Structure: What Works Best for You?

Not all business entities are created equal. Each has its own tax treatment, liability protection, and compliance requirements. The right choice depends on your business goals, income level, and risk tolerance.

Choosing the wrong structure can mean missing out on tax savings or exposing your personal wealth to lawsuits. Demian & Associates, CPAs will help you set up the right entity from day one, ensuring you get the best tax treatment and asset protection.

The Tax Benefits of Incorporation: Are You Leaving Money on the Table?

The biggest advantage of incorporation? Keeping more of your money instead of handing it over to the IRS.

• Lower Tax Rates: Corporations often pay lower rates than individuals, allowing for strategic tax planning.
• Deductions and Write-Offs: Incorporated businesses can deduct expenses like health insurance, retirement contributions, and office space.
• S-Corp Tax Strategy: By structuring income as a combination of salary and distributions, business owners can reduce self-employment taxes and save thousands.

The problem? Many business owners unknowingly pick the wrong structure and end up paying more in taxes than they should. Demian & Associates, CPAs specialize in entity selection and tax strategy to ensure you never overpay.

Liability Protection: How Incorporation Shields Your Personal Assets

Running a business comes with risks. If your business is sued, do you want your personal bank account, home, or investments on the line?

Incorporation creates a legal separation between you and your business. A properly structured entity protects your personal assets from lawsuits, creditors, and business debts.

But that protection isn’t automatic. If you mix personal and business finances or fail to follow corporate formalities, courts can “pierce the corporate veil” and hold you personally responsible. Demian & Associates, CPAs help business owners stay compliant, ensuring their incorporation truly protects them.

The Hidden Costs of Incorporation: What You Need to Know

Many business owners hesitate to incorporate because they worry about the cost. But in reality, not incorporating could cost far more in taxes and liability exposure.

Here’s what to budget for:

• Filing Fees: Varies by state, typically $50 to $500.
• Annual Reports & Compliance Costs: Some states require yearly filings, which can range from $50 to several hundred dollars.
• Registered Agent Fees: If you don’t want your personal address on public records, a registered agent typically costs $100 to $300 per year.
• CPA & Legal Fees: Incorporation done right is an investment that pays off through tax savings and asset protection.

At Demian & Associates, CPAs, we streamline the entire process. We handle the filings, tax structuring, and compliance—so you don’t waste time or money on mistakes.

Common Mistakes That Could Cost You Thousands

Even with the best intentions, business owners make costly errors when incorporating. Here are the most common ones:

1. Choosing the Wrong Business Entity – Each structure has different tax implications. Picking the wrong one can result in excessive taxes or limited liability protection.
2. Mixing Personal and Business Finances – Using a personal bank account for business transactions can void your liability protection.
3. Ignoring Compliance Requirements – Incorporation comes with responsibilities, such as annual filings and payroll taxes. Missing these deadlines can lead to fines or even dissolution.

With Demian & Associates, CPAs, you don’t have to worry about these mistakes. We handle compliance, tax strategy, and financial planning—so you can focus on growing your business.
