How C Corporations Operate in Connecticut?
In Connecticut, a C Corporation is a legal entity separate from its owners, providing limited liability protection.

C-Corps can issue multiple classes of stock and have unlimited shareholders, making them ideal for businesses seeking investment and growth.

C-Corp vs. S-Corp
While both structures offer limited liability protection, C-Corps can have unlimited shareholders and multiple stock classes, making them suitable for businesses seeking significant investment. S-Corps, on the other hand, are limited to 100 shareholders and one class of stock, with income passed through to shareholders to avoid double taxation.

Yes. A registered agent with a physical street address in the state is required for a corporation to be in compliance with Connecticut law. The address is required for receipt of service of process and official government notifications. The company itself is not required to maintain a physical office in the state, and it is not uncommon for out-of-state or foreign companies to utilize a registered agent service to fulfill this requirement.
