Investors expect you to be a C corp
An LLC might have been the right choice to get started: quick, cheap and fine while you’re building. But when it comes to raising, it becomes a roadblock. Investors avoid LLCs because they pass tax liabilities onto their members, they don’t issue shares and they can’t offer investors valuable QSBS tax benefits. That’s why nearly every funded startup is a C corp.
