You can set up your US company on Norebase as a C-corp, or an LLC. Both LLCs and C-corps are independent corporate entities separate from the founders.

However, a C-corp has a board of directors overseeing the activities of the company, while LLCs have a flexible management structure.

Also, a C-corp has shareholders who hold shares in the company while an LLC has owners who split their ownership via an Operating Agreement. Because of this distinction, most investors insist on corporation.
