Why this mattersCross-border founders pick the wrong entity by default — and pay for it for years.
A UK founder spinning up a Delaware C-Corp without S-Corp planning, or a US founder defaulting to an LLC for a UK customer base — both very common, both expensive. The choice between LLC, S-Corp, and C-Corp drives everything from self-employment tax to GILTI exposure to whether you can take dividends without double tax. The right shape depends on where the customers are, where the founder lives, and where the money will be repatriated. We make those calls for a living.
