C-Corp vs. S-Corp in New Jersey — Key Differences

New Jersey C Corporations allow for multiple stock classes and unlimited shareholders, including foreign investors — making them a preferred structure for businesses pursuing outside funding or preparing for IPO. In contrast, S Corporations are limited to 100 U.S. shareholders and may issue only one class of stock. While S-Corps offer pass-through taxation, C-Corps provide greater flexibility in equity structuring and ownership, better supporting high-growth strategies.

S-Corp vs. C-Corp in New Jersey: Which Structure Supports Your Growth?

Incorporating in New Jersey gives business owners the flexibility to choose a structure that aligns with their funding needs, ownership goals, and long-term strategy. While both C-Corps and S-Corps offer liability protection, they differ significantly in tax treatment, shareholder rules, and equity flexibility.

S Corporation

Pass-Through Taxation

Profits are passed directly to shareholders and taxed at the individual level, avoiding corporate income tax.

Ownership Restrictions

Limited to 100 shareholders, all of whom must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents — limiting global investment opportunities.

Single Class of Stock

Only one class of stock allowed, offering simplicity but less flexibility in structuring ownership or investor incentives.

C Corporation

Corporate and Shareholder Taxation

Income is taxed at the corporate level, and again at the shareholder level when dividends are distributed — a tradeoff for greater scalability.

No Shareholder Limits

Allows unlimited shareholders, including foreign individuals and entities — ideal for companies pursuing venture capital or preparing for an IPO.

Multiple Stock Classes

Enables businesses to issue various stock types, offering flexible equity solutions for investors, founders, and employees.
