PC (Professional Company)
Form a Professional Corporation (PC) with vState Filings
Starting a professional practice comes with a unique set of responsibilities and setting up the right business structure is one of the most important decisions you will make. A Professional Corporation (PC) allows licensed professionals like doctors, lawyers, architects, accountants, and engineers to operate as a legal entity while maintaining personal liability protection and credibility with clients.
At vState Filings, we simplify the process of forming your Professional Corporation from start to finish. With our expertise and personalized filing services, you can focus on what matters most your profession while we handle the paperwork and compliance requirements.
What Is a Professional Corporation (PC)?
A Professional Corporation is a specific type of business entity designed for state-licensed professionals. Unlike a standard corporation or LLC, a PC can only be formed by individuals who hold professional licenses in regulated industries.
This entity structure provides the legal protection and tax advantages of incorporation while meeting state-specific licensing and ownership rules.
When you register a PC, you separate your personal assets from the business. This means that while you remain accountable for your professional actions, you are protected from liabilities arising from the actions of other professionals within your corporation.
OUR SOLUTIONS
Entity Formation
Start your company with accurate formation filings for LLCs, corporations, partnerships, and professional entities. Our team prepares and submits state-required documents so you can form the structure that best fits your business.
Who Should Form a PC?
A PC is ideal for professionals in fields that require state licensing. Common examples include:
- Physicians, dentists, and chiropractors
- Attorneys and legal consultants
- Architects and engineers
- Accountants and financial advisors
- Psychologists, counselors, and therapists
If your state requires licensed professionals to incorporate under a Professional Corporation instead of a regular corporation or LLC, vState Filings can guide you through every step of compliance and registration.
Why Choose a Professional Corporation?
There are several advantages to forming a PC, including:
- Limited Liability Protection: Owners (shareholders) of a PC are generally not personally responsible for the debts and liabilities of the corporation. While each professional remains accountable for their own actions, they are shielded from malpractice claims against their colleagues.
- Tax Benefits: PCs can offer tax advantages, such as potential deductions on salaries, benefits, and other business expenses. Depending on your state and federal tax strategy, you may also choose S-Corp taxation to reduce self-employment taxes.
- Professional Credibility: Forming a PC enhances your credibility with clients and peers. It shows that you take your practice seriously, meet professional standards, and comply with all required regulations.
- Easier Management and Growth: A PC provides a clear structure for management, ownership, and profit distribution. It also simplifies succession planning, allowing ownership shares to be transferred in accordance with professional licensing requirements.
