When you’re building a business that values both profit and purpose, a B Corporation could be the perfect fit. At Doc Prep Heroes, we help founders and startups navigate the decision-making process and form the right entity to match their mission and growth goals — including Benefit Corporations and Certified B Corporations.
A Certified B Corporation is a company that meets high standards of social and environmental impact, transparency, and accountability. A Benefit Corporation is a specific legal business structure recognized in many U.S. states that embeds social impact into the company’s legal DNA.
While these two terms are closely related, they are not the same:
A Benefit Corporation is a legal structure.
A Certified B Corporation is a third-party certification issued by B Lab.

The C Corporation is the oldest and one of the most common business structures, and is typically what comes to mind when the average person hears the word "corporation". It provides the greatest level of separation and protection between the company and its owners, and allows the company to raise capital through the issuance of publicly traded stock.
One of the C Corporation's greatest strengths as a structure is that it typically has no requirements regarding who can become part of its ownership. However, a few states do require that an individual be at least 18 years of age to officially become an owner.
C Corporations and their owners are taxed separately from one another, which results in "double taxation". This means that the corporation will be taxed on its profits and then each individual owner will be taxed again on the income distributed to them at a personal level. Filing as an S corp can help business owners avoid this, but will also open them up to paying self-employment taxes.
Most states only require one director in order to start a C Corporation. However, some states impose a minimum number based on the number of shareholders the company has. This required number is typically never lower than three and there is no maximum limit.
