While there are many advantages to electing Subchapter S status for your new Georgia business, there also some disadvantages that are worth noting. Please have a look at both the advantages and these disadvantages before deciding whether a Sub S incorporation election is the right path for your business.

Drawbacks / Disadvantages of Electing Subchapter S Status for your Georgia Business:

  • Only one class of stock outstanding
  • Process of incorporation requires more time and money than other forms of organization
  • S-Corporations are monitored by federal, state and some local agencies, and as a result may have more paperwork to comply with regulations.
  • Inflexibility of operations
  • Slow to react. Executive decisions need agreement by all shareholders. Disagreeing on issues can produce slow processing times to get over humps.
  • Only a portion of health insurance is deductible, versus c-corp where one can deduct 100% (subject to change).
  • Shareholders and employees must declare health insurance and
    other employee benefits as taxable income if they own more than a 2% share of stock in the Subchapter S corporation.

Anyway you look at it, incorporating has a number of substantial benefits for your Georgia business. Incorporate this year and enjoy the same benefits thousands of others are enjoying right now.
