Professional Corporations are typically for licensed professionals including doctors, lawyers, accountants, architects, engineers, dentists, veterinarians, and other state-licensed practitioners. Requirements vary by state - we'll confirm if your profession qualifies in your state.
A PC is designed specifically for licensed professionals and must comply with additional state licensing board regulations. All shareholders must typically be licensed in the same profession. PCs provide liability protection for business debts but not for professional malpractice (you'll still need malpractice insurance).
Generally, no. Most states require all PC shareholders to be licensed in the same profession. For example, a medical PC can only have licensed physicians as shareholders. Some states allow exceptions for spouses or multi-disciplinary practices - we'll check your state's specific rules.
PCs can be taxed as C-Corporations or elect S-Corporation status. C-Corp taxation means potential double taxation (corporate and personal levels), while S-Corp status allows pass-through taxation. We recommend discussing with a tax advisor to determine the best tax structure for your practice.
