What Qualifies as a Small Business in Illinois?

In Illinois, a business can qualify as a “small business” if it employs 500 or less employees.

Do I Need to Register My Business in Illinois?

Yes, in most cases, you will need to register your business with the Illinois Department of Revenue (IDOR). Registering your business with the IDOR is required if it includes any of the following:

  • Hiring employees
  • Buying/selling products via wholesale/retail
  • Manufacturing goods

What is an LLC & S-Corporation?

Limited Liability Company (LLC) – When a business is established as an LLC, this separates the business assets from the personal assets of the business owner. This means that in a situation where the business creditors are suing the business, they can only go after the owner’s business assets and not the owner’s personal assets.

S-Corporation – Also known as “S-corp” or “S subchapter” refers to a way a business is taxed. If a business has an S-corp tax status, then it will avoid double-taxation (where both the business earnings and personal earnings are taxed).
