Advantage#1: Salient benefits of Corporation or LLC

Corporation

• Pass through taxation: If you register a new company in Kentucky as an S corporation then the corporation or firm will not pay any income tax. Instead, the income or loss of the corporation will be passed on to the stockholders.

LLC

• Limited Liability: If you register a new business in Kentucky as an LLC then you will be able to enjoy limited liability protection. This means claimants can sue the LLC and not the owner or investors.
• Flexible Profit Distribution: An LLC has the benefit of being able to select different ways of distribution of profits.
• State Tax Credit: One of the advantages of a startup company in Kentucky is the Kentucky Small Business Tax Credit (KSBTC) program. Eligible businesses paying taxes imposed by program KRS 141.0401 (limited liability entity tax) can apply for a non-refundable state income tax credit that can vary from $3,500 – $25,000.

Advantage#2: Business Incentives

The number of small businesses in Kentucky grew from 341,147 in 2015 to 347,159 in 2017 and this trend is mostly due to the variety of business incentives provided through state based programs.

Let’s look at some of the top programs in the Bluegrass State.

When you register a new business in Kentucky, you can be rest assured that there is a wide variety of business incentives to leverage on but are there any disadvantages? There are limited numbers of disadvantages that are dependent on the type of business you register.
