Becoming an S corporation is usually the best option for most small business owners, but you should discuss plans in more detail and a CPA and an attorney first. S corporations have some limitations that do not always a business owners future plans. S corporations have limitations on who can be a shareholder and must adopt the calendar year as the fiscal year.

In most cases, the limitations on S corporations are outweighed by the tax benefits. Nonetheless, you need to seek a personal consultation with a local attorney to discuss your plans in more detail.
