Both C Corporations and LLCs are corporate structures, yet they have a lot that differs between them. An LLC is often more appropriate for a small business, while a C Corporation is more appropriate for a medium or large business.

Why an LLC Cannot Be Publicly Traded: Ownership Restrictions: LLCs are owned by "members," and ownership isn't divided into tradable shares like corporations. Lack of Share Structure: LLCs don't issue stock, which is required for trading on public stock exchanges like the NYSE or NASDAQ. Regulatory and Reporting Differences: LLCs are not structured to meet the strict disclosure and governance standards required for public companies. ✅ Alternative: If a company wants to go public, it typically converts from an LLC to a corporation (C-Corp) before issuing shares to the public.

Assuming you refer to a C-corporation, the major difference is the tax treatment of revenue/expenses and profit. The C-corporation is taxed at corporate tax rates whereas the LLC passes to its Managing Members all of its profits. The individual Managing Member is taxed at personal tax rates. There may or may not be other advantages of one over the other; for example, liability.
