Entity Setup and Corporate Structuring in Cape Coral
St. Clair Advisory Group specializes in tax compliance and consulting for new businesses, domestic companies expanding abroad, and foreign companies entering the United States.
Starting a New Business
The entity you choose affects how you're taxed, how you pay yourself, and how exposed your personal assets are. We help new owners compare the options and set up the structure that fits the business they're actually running:
- Single-member and multi-member LLCs
- S corporation elections for LLCs and corporations
- C corporations and partnerships
- Obtaining an EIN and setting up the first year of tax filings
Choosing Between an LLC and an S Corporation
An LLC is a legal structure; an S corporation is a tax election. Many owners start as an LLC and elect S corporation status once profits make the payroll and filing requirements worth it. We run the numbers with you before you elect. Read more in S Corp vs. LLC for Florida Small Businesses.
Global Reach, Local Expertise
Through our global network and multilingual staff, we help firms navigate complex regulations in the U.S. and overseas. For foreign owners, see U.S. companies for foreign owners.
Asset Protection
Thoughtful structures can separate business risk from personal assets and plan for the business's end goals, from growth to sale or succession. We coordinate with your attorney on the legal side and handle the tax side.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you help me set up an LLC in Florida?
Yes. We help you decide whether an LLC fits, set up the tax side (including your EIN and any elections), and coordinate with your attorney if you want one to handle the legal filing.
When does an S corporation election make sense?
Usually once the business earns enough profit that the savings on self-employment tax outweigh the cost of running payroll and filing a separate return. We calculate it for your situation before you elect.
Do you work with foreign-owned companies?
Yes. We help foreign companies and individuals set up and maintain U.S. entities. See our page on U.S. companies for foreign owners.
