Starting a C Corporation in Mississippi

A C Corporation in Mississippi operates as an independent legal entity, separating business liabilities from personal assets.

Why Mississippi Works for C Corporations

Pro-Business Framework

Mississippi provides a clear, reliable legal environment that supports transparency and protects both owners and investors.

Capital-Raising Flexibility

Strategic Advantages of Incorporating in Mississippi

Establishing a C Corporation in Mississippi gives your business a reliable legal framework with built-in flexibility for future expansion. It provides limited liability protection, enables companies to raise capital through stock issuance, and supports a structured governance model that meets the expectations of professional investors. The separation of ownership and management enhances clarity, control, and long-term stability.

Registering a C Corporation in Mississippi

Start by selecting a unique business name and appointing a registered agent based in Mississippi. File your Articles of Incorporation with the Mississippi Secretary of State. Once filed, formalize your company by drafting corporate bylaws, designating a board of directors, and securing an Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS to handle tax matters.

Choosing Between C-Corp and S-Corp in Mississippi

C Corporations in Mississippi offer the flexibility to issue multiple classes of shares and accept an unlimited number of shareholders, including international investors — making them ideal for companies seeking outside capital or planning to go public. S Corporations, in contrast, are limited to 100 U.S. shareholders and must maintain a single class of stock. While S-Corps benefit from pass-through taxation, C-Corps offer broader fundraising and equity structuring options but are subject to double taxation.

S-Corp vs C-Corp in Mississippi: What You Should Know

When deciding between a C Corporation and an S Corporation in Mississippi, it’s important to consider your goals around taxation, investor access, and corporate structure. Both entities provide limited liability protection but differ in ownership rules and how profits are handled.

S Corporation

Tax-Transparent Structure

Income is passed directly to shareholders and taxed at their individual rates — eliminating corporate-level taxation.

Strict Ownership Rules

Limited to 100 shareholders, all of whom must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents, which may not suit businesses planning to scale or attract outside capital.

One Class of Stock Only

Simplicity is required: only one class of shares can be issued, making it ideal for tightly held companies or family-run businesses.

C Corporation

Double Taxation Model

C-Corps pay taxes on corporate profits, and shareholders pay tax again on any dividends received.

No Ownership Limits

C-Corps can have an unlimited number of shareholders, including foreign investors and entities — ideal for companies targeting venture capital or global expansion.

Equity Flexibility

Multiple classes of stock are allowed, giving businesses the ability to structure ownership, voting rights, and investment tiers more strategically.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I choose Mississippi to establish my C Corporation?

Mississippi is the best place to establish your C Corporation due to the fact that it has low filing fees, simple regulatory requirements, and a friendly business climate. Unlike Delaware, whose business statutes are notoriously complex, Mississippi offers low formation and maintenance costs that make it ideal for small businesses, start-ups, or businesses that prefer to remain local.

Do I need a Mississippi business address to incorporate my C Corporation?

Yes, Mississippi requires your C Corporation to have a registered office in the state that is a physical address (not a P.O. box) where it will receive legal mail. You may use your own Mississippi address or use our registered agent service to meet this requirement and comply with state law.

Can I incorporate a C Corporation in Mississippi if I am not a U.S. resident or a citizen?

Non-U.S. residents and non-citizens can incorporate a C Corporation in Mississippi with no hindrance. You don't necessarily need to be living in the U.S. or have a Social Security Number. You will, however, require a Mississippi registered agent and potentially an Employer Identification Number (EIN) for tax reporting purposes, with which our service can assist you.
