Be Entrepreneur- Do Great

 

When you’ve decided to start your own business and are ready to get your feet in the water, you need to be incorporated as a business. Opening your own business is exciting, thrilling, and challenging at the same time!

The first phase is to get registered as a business; making the right decision about choosing a company type is the most important action. We have seen many situations where people were getting ready to expand their businesses but were forced to shut down their existing companies due to inappropriate entity types. If you think your business has fantastic potential then use that potential while it is there.

We, with our IRS Enrolled Agents & CPAs, have expertise in evaluating the best entity type according to your scenario in all 50 states of America. We will have a detailed discussion about your goals, finances, nature of the business, human capital, and your own skills/expertise in order to suggest the best option for you.

💡 Why UAE and Gulf Residents Need US Business Formation

The entrepreneurial spirit that drives success in the UAE and Gulf region can flourish even more when you establish a strategic presence in the United States. Beyond individual tax compliance, forming a US business entity creates opportunities for market access, investment structures, and operational advantages that simply aren’t available through international contracting alone.

Common situations requiring US business formation:
• UAE entrepreneurs expanding operations to serve American markets directly
• Gulf investors establishing US real estate investment vehicles for portfolio diversification
• Regional consultants requiring US business presence for client credibility and contracting
• E-commerce businesses needing proper entity structure for Amazon and marketplace operations
• Technology companies seeking US venture capital and institutional investment opportunities
• Service providers requiring formal business structure for professional licensing and partnerships

✨ Our Expert Entity Selection Advantage

We regularly work with UAE and Gulf entrepreneurs who have learned the importance of proper entity selection through costly experience. The entity type that works perfectly for your current situation might become a limitation as your business grows, or conversely, a complex structure might create unnecessary compliance burdens for your immediate needs.

Why entity selection matters:
► Wrong entity choice can limit growth and partnership opportunities during critical expansion phases
► Inappropriate structure creates unnecessary tax burdens and compliance costs that reduce profitability
► Poor planning forces costly restructuring when you are ready to scale or bring in investors
► Inadequate liability protection exposes personal assets to business risks and litigation
► Suboptimal tax treatment reduces cash flow available for reinvestment and growth

Our IRS Enrolled Agents & CPAs expertise provides:
✅ Comprehensive evaluation of your UAE/Gulf business operations and US expansion strategy
✅ Strategic entity selection based on your specific industry, revenue projections, and partnership plans
✅ Cross-border tax optimization considering both US obligations and Gulf region implications

US Entity Types for UAE and Gulf Entrepreneurs

  • Single Member LLC (Pass-through Entity)
  •  Multi-Member LLC
  •  C-Corporation
  •  S-Corporation

Self- Employed / Sole-Proprietorship

A sole proprietor is someone who owns an unincorporated business by himself or herself. However, if you are the sole member of a domestic limited liability company (LLC), you are not a sole proprietor if you elect to treat the LLC as a corporation. Most self-employed individuals file Form 1040 or 1040NR if they are considered non-resident.

Single Member LLC – Pass-through Entity

A Limited Liability Company (LLC) is an entity created by state statute. Depending on elections made by the LLC and the number of members, the IRS will treat an LLC either as a corporation, partnership, or as part of the owner’s tax return (a “disregarded entity”). A domestic LLC with at least two members is classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes unless it files Form 8832 and elects to be treated as a corporation. For income tax purposes, an LLC with only one member is treated as an entity disregarded as separate from its owner, unless it files Form 8832 and affirmatively elects to be treated as a corporation. However, for purposes of employment tax and certain excise taxes, an LLC with only one member is still considered a separate entity.

Owner of Single-Member LLC

If a single-member LLC does not elect to be treated as a corporation, the LLC is a “disregarded entity,” and the LLC’s activities should be reflected on its owner’s federal tax return. If the owner is an individual, the activities of the LLC will generally be reflected on:

  • Form 1040 or 1040-SR Schedule C, Profit or Loss from Business (Sole Proprietorship)
  • Form 1040 or 1040-SR Schedule E, Supplemental Income or Loss
  • Form 1040 or 1040-SR Schedule F, Profit or Loss from Farming

An individual owner of a single-member LLC that operates a trade or business is subject to the tax on net earnings from self-employment in the same manner as a sole proprietorship.

If the single-member LLC is owned by a corporation or partnership, the LLC should be reflected on its owner’s federal tax return as a division of the corporation or partnership.

 

Multi-Member LLC / Partnership

A Limited Liability Company (LLC) is an entity created by state statute. Depending on elections made by the LLC and the number of members, the IRS will treat an LLC either as a corporation, partnership, or as part of the owner’s tax return (a disregarded entity).  A domestic LLC with at least two members is classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes unless it elects to be treated as a corporation. For income tax purposes, an LLC with only one member is treated as an entity disregarded as separate from its owner unless it elects to be treated as a corporation. However, for purposes of employment tax and certain excise taxes, an LLC with only one member is still considered a separate entity.

Generally, LLCs are not automatically included in this list and are therefore not required to be treated as corporations. Pursuant to the entity classification rules, a domestic entity that has more than one member will default to a partnership. Thus, an LLC with multiple owners can either accept its default classification as a partnership or elect to be classified as an association taxable as a corporation.

Partnerships file Form 1065 on a federal level for tax filing purposes.

 

C-Corporation

In forming a corporation, prospective shareholders exchange money, property, or both, for the corporation’s capital stock. A corporation generally takes the same deductions as a sole proprietorship to figure its taxable income. A corporation can also take special deductions. For federal income tax purposes, a C corporation is recognized as a separate taxpaying entity. A corporation conducts business, realizes net income or loss, pays taxes, and distributes profits to shareholders.

The profit of a corporation is taxed to the corporation when earned and then is taxed to the shareholders when distributed as dividends. This creates a double tax. The corporation does not get a tax deduction when it distributes dividends to shareholders. Shareholders cannot deduct any loss of the corporation.

C-Corps file Form 1120 with the IRS.

S-Corporation

S corporations are corporations that elect to pass corporate income, losses, deductions, and credits through to their shareholders for federal tax purposes. Shareholders of S corporations report the flow-through of income and losses on their personal tax returns and are assessed tax at their individual income tax rates. This allows S corporations to avoid double taxation on the corporate income. S corporations are responsible for tax on certain built-in gains and passive income at the entity level.

To qualify for S corporation status, the corporation must meet the following requirements:

  • Be a domestic corporation
  • Have only allowable shareholders
    • Maybe individuals, certain trusts, and estates and
    • May not be partnerships, corporations or non-resident alien shareholders
  • Have no more than 100 shareholders
  • Have only one class of stock
  • Not be an ineligible corporation (i.e. certain financial institutions, insurance companies, and domestic international sales corporations).

S-Corps file Form 1120S.
