An LLC or Limited Liability Company is a separate legal entity much like a corporation but is generally treated as a sole proprietorship (in single member LLCs) or partnership (in multiple-member LLCs) for federal tax purposes. It combines the limited liability advantages of a corporation with the flexibility and simplified tax treatment of a sole proprietorship or partnership.

A registered agent is an individual or entity designated by the corporation to accept official documents and service of process on behalf of the entity.

Both corporations and LLC's offer limited liability protection. With the LLC, most states require fewer formalities to be observed in comparison to a corporation. Typically, corporations are independent legal and tax entities; whereas LLC's are independent legal entities but not independent tax entities (i.e. income tax for LLCs are reported and paid on owners' personal income tax returns). Generally, C-Corporations are taxed once for the profits and then any dividends paid are taxed again at the shareholder's rate.

An S-Corp is the same as a C-Corp, except for the way it is taxed. An S-Corp is taxed similar to the way an LLC is taxed, i.e., income taxes are reported and paid by the owners rather than the company itself. There are pros and cons to the S-Corp tax election; therefore, competent profession tax advice is strongly advised.

A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol or design, or a combination of words, phrases, symbols or designs, that identifies and distinguishes the source of the goods of one party from those of others. A service mark is the same as a trademark, except that it identifies and distinguishes the source of a service rather than a product.

Copyright Law protects original works of authorship including literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works, such as poetry, novels, movies, songs, computer software, and architecture. Copyright does not protect facts, ideas, systems, domain names, names, titles or slogans.

Typically, people form corps to protect their personal assets through limited liability protection. In addition, one can save money on taxes, reduce the chance of an audit and establish credibility with customers.
