Every state has laws that permit or require certain licensed professionals to form a professional corporation. The legal structure is the same as a business corporation: shareholders, directors, and officers. Unlike a business corporation, the officers, directors, and shareholders are generally all required to be licensed professionals. Licensing board regulations specify the requirements for corporate names, the use of fictitious business names, and any requirement to register as a professional corporation with the licensing agency.

Advantages of a
Professional Corporation (PC)
In many states, there is no option for a licensed professional to form a professional limited liability company (PLLC) or operate through a regular LLC. For a single professional business, the only limited liability entity may be a professional corporation. With two or more licensed professionals, a limited liability partnership (LLP) may be an option.

Professional Corporation (PC) FAQs
Most frequent questions and answers
A professional corporation is a type of corporation that must be formed by certain specified licensed professionals in a state. A state’s professional corporations act will have certain requirements that are not imposed in a business corporation such as requiring that all shareholders, directors and officers be licensed professionals.
The list of professions is left up to each state and is therefore not identical in every state. Some states have a broad requirement that any person who is required by the state to be licensed to engage in a profession or occupation form a professional corporation. In other states, the decision is left to each licensing board to determine the type of entity that its licensees may or must form. That said, the professions generally include attorneys, accountants, veterinarians, medical doctors and most other health or healing arts professionals. Other common professionals include psychologists, court reporters, engineers, architects, sometimes real estate licensees, and insurance agents.
Yes, it does cost money to foreign qualify, but it can cost you much more if you try to get away with not doing it when you should have. Many state laws require it and will charge you a penalty on top of “making up” for the past due fees. You may also not be able to adequately pursue or defend a lawsuit in courts of the states where you are transacting business without registering and foreign qualifying.
An alternative to foreign qualifying is to incorporate your business or form your LLC in the other state(s) in which you plan to do business. The primary difference is that when you incorporate or form your LLC in multiple states, your company becomes domestic in each of those states, thereby creating separate entities. By foreign qualifying, you don’t have to form a new corporate entity for each state in which you operate. This avoid the unnecessary costs and administrative headaches.
States impose fines and penalties if you fail to file your annual report or file it late. More importantly, many states will suspend or terminate your entity if you fail to make the proper filings.

The choice of a professional corporation is often one imposed by a professional’s licensing board regulations or professional corporations act. Where an option exists to form a PLLC, the choice may involve several factors that would also apply in a regular business. The PLLC is often less regulated by a state’s statutes with more responsibility placed on the PLLC members to have a detailed and customized operating agreement prepared as the governing document. This enables the PLLC members to more specifically define the respective duties, responsibilities, rights, and powers of the members than would be possible with a professional corporation.
