Definitions from Nolo.com, a provider of legal information and products for
consumers and businesses:
-
Corporation: What sets the
corporation apart from all other types of businesses is that a
corporation is an independent legal entity, separate from the people who
own, control, and manage it. In other words, corporation and tax laws
view the corporation as a legal person that can enter into contracts,
incur debts, and pay taxes apart from its owners.
-
Limited Liability Company (LLC):
LLC stands for Limited
Liability Company. A limited liability company is a business entity that
is separate from its owners, like a corporation. However, unlike a
corporation, which must pay its own taxes, an LLC is a pass-through tax entity: The profits and losses of the business pass through to its
owners, who report them on their personal tax returns just as they would
if they owned a partnership or sole proprietorship.
Definition from the Connecticut Secretary of the State website:
-
Trade Names (D/B/A or Sole Proprietorship):
In Connecticut, Trade Name is the term
given to an individual doing business under an assumed name, sometimes
called doing business as or D/B/A or sole proprietorship. Unlike
business entities filed on the Connecticut Business Registry (CONCORD),
the filing of a trade name does not create a separate business entity.
Trade Name certificates are filed with the town clerk in the town where
the business is transacted, not with the Office of the Secretary of the
State.
