Inc. after a company name means that the business in question has incorporated within its home state. Status as a C-corporation or an S-Corporation depends on tax filings with the Internal Revenue Service. Incorporation produces a separate entity -- in essence a fictional person created by law.
If you're not incorporated, you don't look as professional as you feel. Protect your personal assets, get tax advantages, and grow up your business by incorporating today. Quite simply, incorporation is the process of defining your business, both legally and strategically.
