Looking to launch a professional, investment-ready, and scalable company? Forming a Corporation (Inc.) in Pennsylvania is a powerful move for entrepreneurs who are ready to establish a serious business with long-term vision. Whether you plan to raise capital, bring on shareholders, or simply need a structured, compliant entity — a Pennsylvania Corporation offers the legal and financial foundation your business deserves.

🧾 What Is a Corporation (Inc.)?

A corporation is a separate legal entity that exists independently from its shareholders. It can own assets, enter into contracts, open bank accounts, sue or be sued — all in its own name. 

Incorporating in Pennsylvania is a smart choice for those who want to:

  • Protect personal assets from business liabilities
  • Raise capital through issuing shares
  • Build a credible, structured, and investment-ready business
  • Establish long-term governance through bylaws and board management

Unlike LLCs, corporations must follow more formal procedures — including adopting corporate bylaws, appointing a board of directors, and holding regular meetings. But with structure comes strength.

To see official state rules and forms for incorporating in Pennsylvania, visit the Pennsylvania Department of State’s Business Services Division.

⚙️ Types of Corporations You Can Form in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania offers several corporation types to suit your business model and goals. 

Here's what we help you register:

🔹 For-Profit Corporation

You can elect either C-Corp or S-Corp taxation:

  • C-Corporation (C-Corp). The default corporate structure. Pays taxes at the entity level, can have unlimited shareholders (including foreign entities), and may issue multiple stock classes. Perfect for startups seeking funding or going public.
  • S-Corporation (S-Corp). Offers pass-through taxation (no corporate income tax) and limited to 100 U.S.-based shareholders. Best for small to mid-sized businesses wanting tax efficiency with corporate benefits.

🔹 Professional Corporation (PC)

Designed for licensed professionals such as:

  • Doctors
  • Accountants
  • Lawyers
  • Engineers
  • Architects

All shareholders must hold valid Pennsylvania licenses in the same profession. This structure combines credibility and liability protection for service professionals.

FAQ

A corporation is a legally separate entity from its owners (shareholders), offering strong liability protection, a formal business structure, and credibility with banks and investors. In Pennsylvania, forming a corporation is ideal for businesses looking to raise capital, attract partners, and grow long-term. It’s also a preferred structure for entrepreneurs who want to clearly separate their personal and business finances. Corporations follow defined rules, with boards of directors, bylaws, and annual meetings — which can boost your reputation and professionalism. By working with us, you can incorporate your business the right way from day one — legally, quickly, and with full support.

In Pennsylvania, you can form a C-Corporation, an S-Corporation, or a Professional Corporation (PC). A C-Corp allows unlimited shareholders and multiple stock classes — ideal for startups seeking investment. An S-Corp avoids double taxation through pass-through taxation but has shareholder restrictions. Professional Corporations are designed for licensed professionals such as lawyers, doctors, and architects. Choosing the right type can impact your taxes, ownership, and growth path — and our experts help you determine which structure suits your business goals best.

To form a corporation in Pennsylvania, you need to choose a business name, appoint a registered office, file your Articles of Incorporation, and get a Federal EIN. You may also need specific business licenses depending on your industry and location. The process requires accuracy and compliance with Pennsylvania corporate law. That’s why many entrepreneurs choose our service — we handle every step, ensure all documents meet legal requirements, and file on your behalf. You get peace of mind, speed, and no paperwork headaches.

A C-Corp is taxed separately from its owners and can reinvest profits back into the company. It can have unlimited shareholders, including foreign investors, and issue multiple classes of stock. An S-Corp passes income through to shareholders to avoid double taxation, but it’s limited to 100 U.S. shareholders and only one class of stock. Both structures offer liability protection, but differ in taxation and ownership flexibility. Not sure which one to choose? We analyze your business goals and recommend the structure that maximizes your advantages — both legally and financially.

Yes, Pennsylvania corporations are expected to create corporate bylaws, appoint a board of directors, and maintain formal governance procedures. Bylaws outline how your business will operate internally — including voting rights, officer roles, and meeting procedures. Although these documents aren't filed with the state, they are essential for legal protection and credibility. With us, you'll receive help drafting bylaws and setting up the corporate structure properly, ensuring long-term compliance and readiness for growth or investment.

The state filing fee for incorporating in Pennsylvania is usually around $125, but total costs vary depending on additional services such as EIN registration, license applications, or registered agent support. Our pricing is transparent — no hidden fees or unnecessary upsells. You only pay for what you need, and we’ll explain every step before we begin. Many of our clients appreciate that we offer complete support without inflated packages. With us, you're investing in quality, speed, and compliance — with no guesswork.

Standard processing times for corporate filings in Pennsylvania are typically between a few days to a week, depending on state volume and whether expedited service is requested. With our help, your documents are submitted promptly and correctly — often within 24 hours. We keep you informed throughout the process and immediately notify you once your corporation is officially formed. Our team is experienced in dealing with state systems, which helps minimize delays and avoid costly filing errors.

Forming a corporation involves legal documents, deadlines, and state requirements that can be confusing without experience. Mistakes can lead to delays, rejections, or non-compliance down the road. We take the stress off your shoulders by handling everything — from business name searches and EIN registration to bylaws and compliance support. Our team stays updated on Pennsylvania law, so your corporation is formed correctly and stays protected. When you choose us, you don’t just get documents — you get a trusted partner focused on your long-term success.
