# C Corporation
A C Corporation (C-Corp) is a legal entity that is separate from its owners, offering the strongest liability protection and the ability to issue multiple classes of stock. C-Corps face double taxation — profits are taxed at the corporate level (21% federal rate) and again when distributed as dividends to shareholders.
C-Corps are the preferred structure for venture-backed startups because they can issue preferred stock, accommodate unlimited shareholders, and provide the governance framework investors expect. Every company on the NYSE and NASDAQ is a C-Corp.
