What are the advantages of incorporating your Florida general contractor business?

There are several advantages to both LLC and S-Corp structures. The bottom line depends on your goals for your business and how you want your internal operations to run. Our Florida Contractor Corporate/LLC Setup team will help you determine the best option for you.

Below are some of the advantages of incorporating your business, as listed on our website:

  • Protection for your personal assets. In our opinion, this is the biggest advantage of incorporating your contractor business. When you form an LLC or S-Corp, you separate your business from your personal assets. That means, if something goes wrong and you are facing a huge lawsuit in your business, your personal assets are protected. This is not the case with Sole Proprietors. Being a General Contractor in a booming area like Florida does come with its risks. Having an LLC setup services or S-Corp setup for your business will protect your personal assets in the event that your business is sued.
  • Better tax benefits. When you incorporate your contractor business to an LLC or S-Corp, you have more flexibility in how you file your taxes at the end of the year. An LLC setup services can choose to be taxed as a corporation, which allows the business to show a profit and loss statement. Additionally, incorporating your business as an S-Corp can help you avoid a double taxation at the end of the year. By incorporating your business, you also have the ability to deduct certain business expenses, which may help you with your tax returns. These are options that we would discuss with you when deciding what type of corporation to choose for your contractor business.
  • Reputation Boost . As a new General Contractor looking for projects, it’s important to have a business that people can trust. By incorporating your company, you are telling your future clients that you are someone who does things the right way. You also give them reassurance that you are insured and protected, should something on the job site go wrong. Incorporating your company will help you generate more opportunity and success than those who are not incorporated.

Our goal is to help you find the path for your business that brings you the most success. When you begin to create your business, you will sit down with our expert staff and discuss your goals and expectations of your new business. From that information, our staff will determine what type of corporation would work best for your business.

How to Obtain Your Florida Electrical Contractors License

By Julia Bradley • July 27, 2023
The demand for licensed electricians is high in Florida and expected to continue growing as new construction and infrastructure projects are undertaken. If you are considering a career as a licensed electrician, you can expect to earn a competitive salary, and have steady employment and job security.
