Entity Structuring

The right structure saves more than taxes.

LLC, S-Corp, or multi-entity — the wrong formation costs you thousands every year. We design and implement the legal structure that minimizes self-employment tax, protects your crypto assets, and scales with your business.

The Problem

What the wrong structure costs you.

Paying Full Self-Employment Tax on Crypto Income

Without an S-Corp election, every dollar of trading and consulting income gets hit with 15.3% SE tax. That is tens of thousands in unnecessary liability each year.

No Asset Protection Between Personal and Business Crypto

Operating as a sole proprietor means a single lawsuit or exchange hack exposes everything you own. There is no firewall between personal and business assets.

Missing Loss Carryforward Opportunities

Without proper entity structuring, net operating losses from one venture cannot offset gains in another. You pay tax on winners while losses sit unused.

Who It's For

Built for these situations.

The Six-Figure Trader

You are clearing $100K+ in crypto income and watching a massive chunk disappear to self-employment tax. An S-Corp election alone could save you $15K or more every year.

The Crypto Entrepreneur

Multiple income streams — trading, consulting, staking, a protocol project — all flowing through one entity or no entity at all. You need separation for tax efficiency and clean books.

The Asset Protector

You have built real wealth across ventures and need liability shields between them. A single lawsuit or exploit should not put everything at risk.

Common Questions

Entity structuring, answered.

An LLC is a legal entity that provides liability protection. An S-Corp is a tax election that lets you split income between salary and distributions, avoiding self-employment tax on the distribution portion. Many crypto businesses use an LLC that elects S-Corp tax treatment to get both benefits.
